Contracts
Business Contract
North Carolina
Business contract with a termination fee?
I am currently in the process of starting a business and I have been presented with a contract that includes a termination fee. I am not sure what obligations I have with respect to this fee and I would like to know what kind of legal implications I may be subject to in the event of a termination. I am also interested in exploring the potential for negotiation of this fee in order to ensure that I am not overpaying for services that I may no longer need.
N'kia N.
A termination fee is a payment that one party to a contract pays the other party for terminating the contract before it expires. The general purpose is to compensate the non-terminating party for resources used and/or opportunities missed as a result of entering into the contract that is then terminated early. A well-written termination fee clause will typically include the exact fee to be paid or, if not exact, a clear explanation of how the fee is to be calculated. Additionally, it will include a timeline for the payment(s). Unless the terms of the contract are otherwise contrary to law, the terminating party is presumed to be responsible for paying the stated sum at the stated time. While it is common for a business contract to contain a termination fee clause, a termination fee that is unreasonable under the circumstances is at risk of not being enforceable. However, disputing a termination fee clause can require a lot of the parties' time and money. Before signing a contract with a termination fee clause, all of the parties should be sure that they understand and agree with the clause. If you are considering signing a contract with a termination fee clause, you might have an attorney review it before you sign it. The attorney might even be able to assist you with negotiating changes, if needed or helpful.

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.
Shelia H.
If you are considering using a template for your independent contractor agreement, you should view it as a starting point. It can be a good way of finding boilerplate provisions that are going to be in just about every agreement. Unfortunately, because they are templates, you run the risk of leaving out important details that may apply to your situation. Additionally, the template might not go far enough in protecting interests that you specifically need to have protected. Think of it this way. Template agreements are usually so general, they will probably be valid in almost every state. Consequently, by being general, they usually leave out key details that would apply in your situation but not in other contractors' situations. You should always consider having an attorney review your agreement to make sure that the agreement meets your legal needs and that it is legally binding in your state.
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.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
