Business Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Business Contracts

Independent Contractor Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Nov 11, 2023

Can I set performance metrics in the contractor agreement?

I am a small business owner who recently hired an independent contractor to help with some of my projects. I want to ensure that the contractor is held accountable for their work, so I am looking to set performance metrics in the contractor agreement. I am hoping to find out the legalities of doing so and what kind of metrics are legally allowed to be included in the agreement.

N'kia N.

Answered Nov 14, 2023

A business that hires an independent contractor should be careful not to confuse an independent contractor relationship with an employment relationship. Treating an independent contractor like an employee can result in the law ultimately determining that the contractor is actually a "misclassified" employee. In North Carolina, "performance metrics" typically apply to employees, not independent contractors. This is because the "independent" in "independent contractor" means that the hiring party does not "control" (manage, monitor, supervise, etc.) the contractor like it would an employee. The hiring party is entitled to hold the contractor accountable for the results that it hires the contractor to achieve. However, the independent contractor is entitled to determine the manner, means, and methods of achieving the desired results. With that all being said, it is important for the parties to an independent contractor relationship to have clear expectations. An independent contractor agreement should outline the essential terms and conditions of the engagement. These might include such terms as definitions of the deliverables, deadlines for the deliverables, remedies for the independent contractor's failure to produce the deliverables by the agreed-upon deadlines, and special considerations. A knowledgeable North Carolina attorney can advise on the legalities of the proposed terms and conditions of an independent contractor relationship that is to be governed by North Carolina law.

Consulting Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Nov 8, 2023

How to handle data protection in a consulting agreement?

I am a business owner looking to hire a consultant to provide services to my organization. As part of the consulting agreement, I need to ensure that any sensitive or confidential data used by the consultant is handled in a secure manner. I want to understand what steps need to be taken to ensure that data protection is addressed in the consulting agreement.

N'kia N.

Answered Nov 12, 2023

A business that wishes to protect its sensitive or confidential data has several options. Numerous types of agreements or contracts (or clauses or provisions) can help a business protect its data, including those that focus on confidentiality and/or non-disclosure, privacy, or publicity. For a business that is contemplating hiring a consultant who will have access to sensitive or confidential data, the first step is typically to have the consultant sign an agreement protecting that data before granting the consultant access to it. A knowledgeable attorney can assist with review, negotiating, or writing agreements that protect a business' sensitive or confidential data. Consult with a North Carolina attorney who can help you tailor the agreement to comply with North Carolina law and meet your specific legal needs.

Business Partnership Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Sep 28, 2023

Multilingual business partnership agreement?

I am looking to enter into a business partnership with a foreign partner and we would like to ensure that both parties are aware of the terms of the agreement. We want to make sure that the agreement is in our native language as well as the language of our partner in order to ensure that both parties have the same understanding of the agreement. We are looking for advice on how to draft a multilingual business partnership agreement.

N'kia N.

Answered Oct 17, 2023

Generally speaking, contracts should be in a language that all the parties understand. However, many legal terms do not have exact translations in other languages. Therefore, many businesses that use multilingual contracts will identify one language as the contract's "official" language. Anyone who is considering using a multilingual business contract, including a business partnership agreement, should also consider using translators who are well versed in "legalese" in the languages to be used in the contract.

Business Contracts

Independent Contractor Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Nov 10, 2023

What about confidentiality in the contractor agreement?

I am an independent contractor and I recently entered into an agreement with a company for a project. The agreement does not contain any language regarding confidentiality or non-disclosure, and I am unsure what legal protection I have regarding the confidential information I may be exposed to during the project. I am looking to understand what legal protections I have regarding confidentiality in the contractor agreement.

N'kia N.

Answered Nov 14, 2023

While an independent contractor agreement is not absolutely required to include terms and conditions regarding confidentiality, including such terms and conditions can help protect both the hiring party and the contractor. An independent contractor agreement that does not address confidential information can potentially exposes the contractor to unnecessary risk and liability. For example, the hiring party could claim that the contractor improperly disclosed or used its confidential information, although the parties have not agreed to what would constitute improper disclosure or use. If you have already signed an independent contractor agreement, you can attempt to negotiate an amendment to the agreement. A North Carolina attorney who is knowledgeable in independent contractor agreements and confidentiality clauses should be able to advise about amendments or even help negotiate additional or amended terms and conditions.

SaaS Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Jun 2, 2023

SaaS agreement and maintenance?

I am a small business owner who is looking to develop a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product. I am interested in understanding the legal requirements and obligations associated with a SaaS agreement, as well as what kind of maintenance is required to keep the service running. I am looking for legal advice to ensure that my business is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Nicholas M.

Answered Jun 9, 2023

A SaaS agreement is just like every other business contract with just a few notable exceptions. They can be "click-wrap" agreements where your users are not able to negotiate the terms of service. These agreements must be inherently reasonable and fair aligned to traditional notions of fair play. If you intend for a more enterprise service, then your agreements can be a more traditional bargain for exchange so long as they are not deceptive and misleading. The other major difference with SaaS agreements is typically their ability to be unilaterally updated when written properly and applied fairly. You should definitely work with a lawyer experienced with data security and privacy issues to write your agreement and ensure it aligns to your terms and services, privacy policy, and internal business practices.
