Contracts
Settlement Agreement
Florida
Are settlement agreements common in business?
I am a small business owner considering entering into a business partnership with another individual. We have discussed the possibility of a settlement agreement to define our respective rights and responsibilities in the partnership. I am interested in knowing if settlement agreements are common in business, and how they are typically used in such agreements.
Diane D.
Their called Operation Agreements, and every partnership and LLC should have one. Most do.
Contracts
Noncompete Agreement
Florida
Noncompete agreement choice of law?
I recently accepted a job offer with a new employer and they sent me a Noncompete Agreement to sign. I have some questions about the agreement, specifically related to the choice of law. My former employer and I are in different states, and I want to make sure I understand the implications of the agreement before signing.
Venus C.
Congratulations on your new job. Generally, a choice of law clause contained in a non-compete agreement indicates which state law will govern the contract. By way of general example, let's pretend we have a non-compete agreement that states the choice of law is Florida. Let's also pretend the parties to this agreement had a dispute and one party filed a lawsuit against the other in the state of New York. In this pretend scenario, because the parties agreed Florida to be their choice of law for the non-compete agreement, the court in New York would abide by that contractual agreement and apply Florida law. While choice of law clauses are commonly used to indicate what law will apply to a contract, the language used or omitted plays a significant role in their interpretation and enforceability.
Contracts
Terms and Conditions
Florida
Are vague terms and conditions valid?
I recently signed a contract with a company that included terms and conditions. Many of the terms were vague and I'm concerned that they may not be valid. I'm worried that this could put me in a vulnerable position and I want to make sure that I understand my rights and obligations before proceeding.
Diane D.
Yes, vague terms and conditions are valid. If you would like for me to review the contract for you before you sign to let you know what you will be or not be liable for, please contact me at ddowns@dmdlawpa.com

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.
Contracts
Artist Management Agreement
Florida
Can an artist terminate an Artist Management Agreement if the manager fails to fulfill their obligations?
I am an aspiring musician who recently signed an Artist Management Agreement with a manager, but I am now facing issues with their lack of commitment and failure to fulfill their obligations outlined in the contract, such as securing gigs and promoting my music. I want to understand if I have the legal right to terminate the agreement and seek a new manager who can effectively support my career.
Ralph S.
I would begin by looking at your contract first. Usually, there is a termination clause that talks about what happens in the event of a material breach. It may well be that there's conduct such as repeated breaches, prolonged breaches etc that allow for the contract to terminate. Also- look in the dispute resolution section- if you can sue or if you have to arbitrate or follow some procedure. If one side fails to perform, they are in breach- but a breach of contract doesn't automatically terminate it. You can send a letter notifying the other side of the breach, you can tell them you believe the contract should terminate - but they can disagree. And the risk is that you decide that you are not bound by the contract and refuse to perform they can pursue you for breach. Additionally, Florida courts have consistently recognized that a material breach goes to the essence of the contract, allowing the non-breaching party to terminate the agreement. The situation is tricky as both sides can end up stuck litigating what was and what was not "material" and what was terminated when. But if we are looking at whether there is a legal theory that supports rescinding the contract in the event of the other side's unwillingness to perform the answer is yes- Under Florida law, anticipatory repudiation occurs when one party to a contract unequivocally refuses to perform its contractual obligations before the time for performance has arrived. This doctrine is well-established in Florida contract law and allows the non-breaching party to take specific actions in response to the repudiation. However, the non-breaching party must demonstrate that it was ready, willing, and able to perform its obligations under the contract at the time of the breach.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
