Contracts Legal Questions and Answers
Contracts
Waiver
Washington
Can a waiver signed by a participant in a recreational activity protect the activity organizer from liability for injuries caused by their negligence?
I recently participated in a recreational activity organized by a local company, and before participating, I was required to sign a waiver releasing the company from any liability for injuries. During the activity, I sustained a serious injury due to the organizer's negligence in maintaining the equipment. I am now wondering if the waiver I signed is legally enforceable and if it can absolve the company from responsibility for their negligence, or if I still have grounds to seek compensation for my injuries.
Merry K.
I am very sorry to hear about your injuries, and wish you a speedy and quick recovery. Many attorneys who practice full-time in personal injury law (I'm not one of them) can overcome a release and waiver. Moreover, it's often possible to go after more than just the company in this type of circumstance - there's the company, but there's also the Board, there are individual employees, and there is the manufacturer of any equipment uses (this would be a products liability matter). In Washington, you have at least a year to sue for personal injury. I recommend that you talk with at least three personal injury attorneys. They will want you to have a time line of the event and all the medical treatment you received, and will want to see all your medical records. You don't need someone in your county - it can be anyone licensed in WA State.
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
Contracts
Ground Lease
New York
Can a ground lease be terminated early by the lessor if the lessee violates a non-monetary covenant?
I am currently in a ground lease agreement where I am the lessee, and I recently received a notice from the lessor stating that they intend to terminate the lease due to a violation of a non-monetary covenant. The specific covenant in question pertains to the maintenance and upkeep of the property. I have been diligently maintaining the property, but there may have been some minor lapses in the past. I would like to know if the lessor has the legal right to terminate the ground lease early based on a non-monetary covenant violation, and what options I have to defend against this termination.
Damien B.
Hello: The success of a claim of breach of the agreement depends on whether the alleged violation of the specific non-monetary covenant is material and whether there is a right to cure it. If it is a minor or curable breach, and the lessee can cure it, then the lessee may have defenses to an alleged breach claim.
Contracts
Stock Purchase Agreement
Ohio
Stock purchase agreement and stock certificates?
I am looking to purchase stock in a company and need to understand the legalities of the stock purchase agreement. I have been asked to sign a stock purchase agreement and want to make sure that I understand the implications and the requirements of the agreement as well as the process for obtaining the stock certificates.
Paul S.
I suggest you post a job on Contracts Counsel for help with this.
Contracts
Maintenance Services Agreement
New York
What are the key provisions that should be included in a Maintenance Services Agreement?
I am a small business owner who is in the process of hiring a maintenance services provider to handle the upkeep of my office space. I have been asked to draft a Maintenance Services Agreement to outline the terms and conditions of the arrangement, but I am unsure of what provisions are essential to include. I want to ensure that the agreement covers all necessary aspects, such as the scope of work, payment terms, liability and insurance, termination rights, and any other key considerations that may be relevant to protect my interests as the client and ensure a smooth working relationship with the maintenance services provider.
Damien B.
You are on the right track in identifying the key provisions: scope of work, payment terms, liability and insurance, and termination rights. Not all maintenance service agreements are exactly the same. Generally, what I do is look at a few of them. Then I speak with my client about the facts. Afterward, I draft the specific agreement for their purposes, including the appropriate provisions based on the client's specific needs.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
