Contracts
Agreement And Release
North Carolina
We signed a contract with a travel baseball team and in the middle of a game the coach lost it and started cussing in front of my son. Is that a breach of contract?
This is what we initialed. NCBA Team Players will carry themselves and conduct themselves with the highest degree of integrity and class. We expect to set the standard for sportsmanship, respect of the game, respect of our opponents, respect for the umpires and everyone that allows us to play this great game. Our appearance will be professional and our manners will reflect our character. Language not conducive to these standards will not be tolerated. These simple rules allow you to represent your family name, the game of baseball and the NCBA at all times with class on and off the field of play
Richard G.
That clause addresses the NCBA Team Players' conduct. I would need to see the entire agreement to know what the coach's obligations are, if any.

Catering Services Agreement
New York
Can a catering services agreement be terminated if the caterer fails to provide the agreed-upon services?
I hired a catering company to provide food and beverage services for my upcoming event, and we entered into a catering services agreement that outlined the scope of services, menu, and payment terms. However, the caterer has been unresponsive and has failed to provide any updates or confirmations leading up to the event. With the event approaching, I'm concerned about their ability to fulfill their obligations and wondering if I have grounds to terminate the agreement and seek alternative catering services.
Randy M.
If your caterer has stopped responding and missed key confirmations as your event approaches, you may be within your rights to cancel the agreement. Under contract law, when one party clearly fails to meet essential obligations, or shows signs they won’t follow through, the other party may be released from their responsibilities. When You Can Cancel 1. Material Breach. If your caterer isn’t communicating and you can’t finalize your menu or logistics, that’s more than a minor problem. It may qualify as a material breach—meaning they’ve failed to deliver something critical to the agreement. In catering, timing and communication are central. If they’re missing in action, you may have grounds to walk away. 2. Anticipatory Breach. If it appears your caterer isn’t going to show up—such as ignoring multiple follow-ups as your event nears—you don’t have to wait for them to officially back out. Their silence may count as an anticipatory breach, which allows you to end the contract and secure a replacement in advance. Review the Agreement Before taking action, read the contract closely. Pay attention to: • Termination clauses: Are there specific steps or notice rules you need to follow? • Cure periods: Do you have to give them a certain number of days to fix the issue? • Refund or cancellation policies: Do they address partial payments or deposits? • Force majeure clauses: These usually cover uncontrollable events like natural disasters, not a vendor’s failure to communicate. Your Next Steps • Keep detailed records Save emails, texts, and call logs, noting dates and unanswered messages. This creates a paper trail that supports your decision if challenged. • Send a demand for assurance Before canceling, send a written request asking them to confirm they’ll perform. Be specific about what they’ve failed to do, set a 24- to 48-hour deadline if the event is near, and state that if they don’t respond, you’ll treat it as repudiation. This process reflects the concept of “adequate assurance” under UCC § 2-609, often applied to service contracts. • Provide formal notice If they don’t respond, send a termination notice in writing. Refer to their lack of performance or failure to reply, and follow any notice requirements in the contract—such as sending it by certified mail. • Find a replacement You’re expected to minimize your losses, so line up another caterer as soon as possible. If the replacement costs more, you may be able to recover the difference, provided the cost is reasonable. Potential Remedies If termination is justified, you may be able to recover: • Deposits or payments already made • Additional costs from hiring a replacement caterer • Other foreseeable expenses, such as venue penalties or last-minute rental fees A Word of Caution Your ability to recover money depends heavily on the contract language. A “non-refundable deposit” clause may complicate refunds, though you can argue that keeping the deposit is unfair when the caterer failed to perform. If significant amounts are at stake, consult a lawyer. Outcomes depend on local law and the specifics of your agreement. If you need guidance, the attorneys at Contracts Counsel can help you review your contract and advise you on your next steps.

Landscaping Contract
Washington
Can I terminate a landscaping contract if the contractor has failed to meet the agreed-upon deadlines?
I entered into a landscaping contract with a contractor to redesign my backyard, which included various tasks such as installing a patio, planting trees, and laying down new turf. The contract specified that the work would be completed within six weeks. However, it has been over three months, and the contractor has consistently failed to meet the agreed-upon deadlines, causing significant inconvenience and frustration. Can I terminate the contract due to the contractor's breach of the agreed-upon timeframe?
Merry K.
Usually, yes, but it depends in the terms and conditions of the signed agreement, and what steps you have taken to date (such as written correspondance with the contractor) to try to get the landscape contractor to fullfil the contract. You may want to start by verifying the contractor's license: https://lni.wa.gov/licensing-permits/contractors/hiring-a-contractor/verify-contractor-tradesperson-business There are remedies you can use through this state agency (put another way, the agency may be able to accept a complaint from you and help you with this situation for free). Best, Merry
Contracts
Nondisclosure Agreement
New York
Is pricing protected under an NDA?
I am in a negotiation with a vendor and they are trying to get us to sign a mutual NDA because they want to protect their pricing.
Ramsey T.
The answer depends upon how you define protected or confidential information under your NDA. Even if pricing is included as protected information, often pricing becomes "excluded" from the NDA protection because the "pricing" has been made public to other third parties. You are often better protected by having a pricing methodology and ensuring that such is protected under the NDA.
Contracts
Coaching Agreement
New York
Can a coaching agreement be terminated if the coach fails to meet the agreed-upon objectives?
I entered into a coaching agreement with a professional coach to help me improve my business skills and achieve specific objectives within a certain timeframe. However, after several sessions, it is becoming apparent that the coach is not adequately addressing my needs and failing to help me make progress towards my goals. Can I terminate the coaching agreement and seek a refund or another coach who can better meet my needs?
Damien B.
In this situation, both parties agreeing to terminate the contract is best because of your dissatisfaction. The coach's failure to provide adequate advice could be difficult to prove. Conversely, the coach would have to prove they provided adequate services. So, a mutual agreement to terminate the agreement is preferable. You could attempt to negotiate a partial reimbursement.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
