Physician Employment Agreement
North Carolina
Can a physician employment agreement be digital?
I am a physician looking to enter into an employment agreement with a hospital. I am currently in the process of negotiating terms of the agreement, and am considering the possibility of signing a digital version of the agreement. I want to know if this is legally permissible, and if there are any potential risks or considerations associated with signing a digital agreement.
Nicholas M.
The federal ESIGN Act, passed in 2000, gives full force and effect to digital signatures with the same weight as "wet" signatures. However, you should discuss this with an Attorney for your specific agreement if you are concerned. An Attorney can research your specific industry, regulations, and state statutes that may impact digital signatures or have specific requirements around digital signatures that are different from other documents.
Business Contracts
Joint Venture Agreement
North Carolina
Who's liable for contracts in a joint venture?
I'm a small business owner looking to start a joint venture with another business. We have discussed the terms of the venture and are ready to move forward, but I want to make sure that I understand who is responsible for which contracts. I'm concerned that if either party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations, I need to know who will be held liable.
N'kia N.
Typically, liability for each party to a joint venture is determined by the joint venture agreement itself. However, if the joint venture agreement is not sufficient to establish liability or there is no agreement, the law imputes "per capita" (per head) liability. For example, in a joint venture that involves three separate individuals and/or entities, each venturer bears one-third of the total liability. For this reason, joint venturers commonly register a separate entity such as a limited liability company ("LLC"). Hope this helps!

SaaS Agreement
North Carolina
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.
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.
Business Contracts
Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
Are templates for independent contractor agreements okay?
I am an independent contractor and am currently in the process of negotiating a new agreement with a client. I am trying to understand the implications of using a template agreement, as opposed to having an agreement written specifically for our situation. I want to ensure that I am protecting my interests and that the agreement is legally binding.
N'kia N.
Contract templates tend to follow the "Goldilocks principle." 1. The first template is too generic, so it won't likely protect many user-specific interests. 2. The second template is too specific, so it won't likely protect the interests of users outside of a specific category. 3. The third template is just right, so it is most likely to protect a specific party's legal interests. However, this template is one that an attorney created after having the opportunity to understand that party's goals and preferences. If a template was not created (or at least revised by an attorney) specifically for you, it might be best to think of it as a point of origin rather than a final product to be used as-is. Also, the independent contractor relationship is a widely misunderstood legal concept. But it is important for an independent contractor to understand how to leverage the nature of the relationship to negotiate favorable contract terms. An attorney can review, revise, negotiate, or write a contract, including an independent contractor agreement. Consult with a North Carolina attorney who is knowledgeable about independent contractor relationships and able to tailor your independent contractor agreement to your specific needs.

Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
Are there templates for a contractor agreement?
I recently hired a contractor to complete a project for my business, but I need to create a legal agreement between us. I understand the importance of having a contract that outlines the expectations and terms of the project, but I don't have any experience with creating such an agreement. Therefore, I am wondering if there are any templates available for contractor agreements.
N'kia N.
Typically, a (bona fide) independent contractor will prepare an agreement and present it to a hiring party to sign. However, for various reasons, a hiring party might prepare the agreement instead. Although there are plenty of templates available for independent contractor agreements, it would not be wise to use a template blindly. It is important for a hiring party to understand the true nature of an independent contractor relationship. Otherwise, the hiring party could inadvertently create an employment relationship and "misclassify" the employee as an independent contractor. If you are considering creating a North Carolina independent contractor agreement, you might consider scheduling a legal consultation first. A knowledgeable North Carolina employment attorney can advise you on the legal distinctions between an independent contractor and an employee, review a template or an agreement that you create, or create an independent contractor agreement that complies with North Carolina's nuanced independent contractor rules. Good luck!
