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.

SaaS Reseller Agreement
North Carolina
Can a SaaS reseller agreement be terminated by the software provider without cause?
Can a SaaS reseller agreement be terminated by the software provider without cause? I am a software reseller who has entered into a reseller agreement with a SaaS provider. The agreement does not specify any termination clauses or conditions, but it also does not explicitly state that the software provider can terminate the agreement without cause. Recently, the software provider informed me that they will be terminating the agreement without providing any specific reason. I am concerned about the potential impact on my business and want to understand if the software provider has the legal right to terminate the agreement without cause, and if so, what my options are moving forward.
Jeff G.
Hi. The answer is entirely dependent on the agreement’s language. Without seeing the contract, it’s impossible to give you a complete answer. Generally, an agreement can only be terminated by it’s own conditions, and absent a specific termination clause, it can usually be terminated either due to a breach of the agreement or by suing for breach and asking for termination as the result (so-called “equitable relief”). But with a reseller agreement, there are lots of new variables, as you’re not a user of the product… questions about to who and when you can resell., specific product versions, support provisions, etc. And there’s also a general prohibition against contracts of servitude, requiring an indefinite provision of personal services (which a SaaS contract could be argued to be). So again, the contract language is critical.

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.

Investment Advisory Contract
North Carolina
Can an investment advisor change the terms of an advisory contract without the client's consent?
I recently entered into an investment advisory contract with a financial advisor to manage my portfolio. However, I received a notice from the advisor stating that they will be making changes to the terms of the contract, including an increase in their fees and additional services that were not initially agreed upon. I am concerned about these changes as they were made without my consent and I would like to know if the advisor has the right to unilaterally modify the terms of the contract without my agreement.
Jeff G.
If the original agreement allowed for the advisor to make these changes unilaterally (without your input/consent) and/or on some predefined periodic basis, then yes, they can. However, if the agreement is silent about changes to the terms of your relationship, or is otherwise restrictive about how/when changes can happen, then no, they can't simply decide to change the terms. The next thing you'll want to evaluate is the termination language of your agreement and see if and how much notice is required for either of you to end the relationship. It's sometimes the case that the change notification you received is really an attempt to get you to terminate the agreement when they don't have the power to do so. But you'd need someone to review the agreement for you to provide competent advice.
Contracts
Non-Competition Agreement
North Carolina
Can you review 2 Non compete agreements to ensure I’m not in violation
I found a noncompete agreement with a prior employer. The potential employer wants to hire me and is asking me to sign another noncompete. I need someone to look over both agreements to ensure I’m not in violation
Cindy A.
Yes. Have you signed both agreements?
