Terms and Conditions
Florida
Why are terms and conditions long?
I am a small business owner who is in the process of creating a website for my business. I have been researching terms and conditions for websites, and I noticed that most of them are very long. I want to make sure that my terms and conditions are comprehensive to protect my business, but I am worried that if they are too long, customers may not read them. That is why I am asking why terms and conditions are so long.
Diane D.
Because every type of situation needs to be covered to protect you. That cannot be done in a paragraph or two.

Construction Contract
Florida
Do you work for a commission of what is recovered?
We purchased a home with an enclosed sun room. This room was not permitted and is not up to code, therefor has to be torn down and rebuilt at a cost of $25,000. I feel this should have been disclosed by the seller and home inspector we hired. Do we have any recourse?
Donya G.
Hello, This is possible. As a reminder, each attorney on the website works independently and may or may choose to work on commission. In order to inquire whether an attorney will want to work on commission, you will need to post the job on the website, with a likely title like " looking for an attorney to discuss home improvement cost to work on commission based on results". Once the interested attorneys respond, you can then speak with them in determining how to proceed. Donya Gordon, Esq.

Noncompete Agreement
Florida
Noncompete agreement and severance packages?
I recently left my job of 5 years, where I had signed a non-compete agreement. I am now negotiating a severance package with my former employer and am unsure of what my rights and obligations are regarding the non-compete agreement. I am seeking clarification on how the non-compete agreement should be handled in relation to the terms of my severance package.
Diane D.
To be able to answer this question, I would need to see the agreements. No one can answer your question without seeing the agreements.

Demand Letter
Florida
Modifying a demand letter: possible?
I recently sent a demand letter to a company with whom I have a contract dispute. The company has not responded to my letter, and I am considering sending a modified letter. I would like to know if it is possible to modify the demand letter I sent, and if so, what the most effective modifications would be.
Linda W.
You can always modify a demand letter. The question is whether it is warranted or not. And the effective modifications would depend on the subject matter
Contracts
Real Estate License Agreement
Florida
Can a Real Estate License Agreement be terminated if the licensee fails to meet certain sales quotas?
Can a Real Estate License Agreement be terminated if the licensee fails to meet certain sales quotas? I am a real estate agent who recently signed a License Agreement with a brokerage firm that includes a provision stating that if I do not meet a minimum number of sales within a specified time period, my license may be terminated. I am concerned about the potential consequences of not meeting these quotas and would like to know if this provision is legally enforceable.
Randy M.
If you're wondering whether your brokerage can drop you for not hitting your sales numbers, the short answer is yes, as long as that condition is clearly laid out in your written contract. In Florida, contract freedom is taken seriously, especially in independent contractor relationships like the one most real estate agents have with their brokerages. Let’s Talk Legal Groundwork Florida courts have consistently upheld performance-based termination clauses. Since you're probably working as an independent contractor, not an employee, your agreement is governed by standard contract law. Florida Statutes Chapter 475, which oversees real estate licensing, doesn’t block brokerages from setting minimum performance expectations, or from ending agreements when those expectations aren’t met. What matters is how clearly the contract is written, whether it aligns with Florida real estate regulations, and whether it passes the fairness test. If the terms are specific, compliant, and not outrageously one-sided, courts usually won’t interfere. What Makes a Sales Quota Clause Stick The key is clarity. Your agreement should spell out the exact quota, how often you’re expected to meet it, and what happens if you don’t. Something vague like "maintain a reasonable sales volume" is unlikely to hold up. But if the contract says, "you must close 12 transactions every 12 months," that’s enforceable. Your brokerage also has to follow the proper process if they decide to terminate. They need to notify the Florida Real Estate Commission and pay you for any commissions you’ve already earned under your agreement. Once a commission is earned (usually when you’ve procured a ready, willing, and able buyer on the agreed terms) it can’t be taken away simply because your affiliation ends. Florida courts have consistently upheld this principle. See Shuler v. Allen, 76 So. 2d 879 (Fla. 1955). Courts won’t usually step in unless the quota provision is so one-sided that it becomes legally “unconscionable,” which is a pretty high bar. Even a tough market isn’t enough to meet that standard if you signed off on specific numbers. What Happens If You're Terminated for Not Meeting Quotas? First, your license itself stays intact. Getting terminated doesn’t cancel your real estate license with the state. It just means you can’t practice until you link up with a new brokerage. You’ll need to affiliate with a new broker if you want to keep working in the field. You should still be paid for any commissions you earned before the termination. But don’t assume you’re entitled to commissions from deals that close after you’re let go. Unless your contract specifically says you are, you won’t be. How to Protect Yourself Check if your contract includes a cure period. Many agreements give you a window—say, 60 days—to turn things around after you’ve been notified of a performance issue. That’s your chance to meet the quota and avoid termination. It’s also a good idea to document your sales efforts and keep a record of market conditions. If your brokerage works across different markets and applies quotas the same way everywhere, regardless of local trends, you might have grounds to negotiate fairer terms. If you’re new to the field, try negotiating for lower quotas during your first year. Many brokerages are open to this, knowing that new agents need time to build momentum. When You Should Talk to an Attorney If your quota seems unrealistically high for your market, or if the termination process seems off, it’s worth getting legal advice. The same goes if your brokerage tries to withhold commissions you’ve already earned or hits you with penalties that aren’t spelled out in your contract. A Florida real estate attorney can go over your agreement with you and let you know where you stand. Even if a quota clause is enforceable, that doesn’t mean you have zero negotiating power. If you’ve been a solid producer but are going through a rough patch, many brokerages would rather work with you than lose you.
