Contracts Legal Questions and Answers
Contracts
Consulting Agreement
Massachusetts
Can a consulting agreement be terminated without cause?
I have recently entered into a consulting agreement with a company to provide my expertise and services on a project basis. However, I have concerns about the termination clause in the agreement, as it states that the company can terminate the agreement at any time, without cause. This worries me because it leaves me vulnerable to sudden termination without any valid reason, potentially resulting in financial loss and damage to my professional reputation. I would like to understand if such a termination clause is legally enforceable and what options I have to protect my interests in this agreement.
Laura H.
As a general rule, a contract can be terminated without cause if the document says as much. It's a good idea to have your agreement reviewed by a local attorney for more information.
Contracts
Restricted Stock Agreement
North Carolina
Can you explain the terms and conditions of a Restricted Stock Agreement?
I recently started a new job at a tech company, and as part of my compensation package, I was granted restricted stock units (RSUs). I received a Restricted Stock Agreement document outlining the terms and conditions of the RSUs, but I'm having trouble understanding some of the legal language and implications. I want to ensure that I fully understand the agreement before I sign it, so I'm seeking clarification on the specific terms and conditions, such as the vesting schedule, tax implications, and any restrictions on selling or transferring the RSUs.
Jeff G.
While there are many standard terms in a RSA, each one can be drafted uniquely. As such, while a competent attorney can review your agreement and explain the terms in plain english, it would be impossible for any of us to answer your questions without a detailed look at the document itself.
Contracts
Venue Rental Agreement
Wisconsin
If a new company takes over my wedding venue is my original contract still valid at all?
I originally signed a contract months ago for my wedding venue. The venue was free as long as a $5,000 catering minimum was hit. Now a new company took over the venue and they are charging $3000 to use the venue not including catering and regardless of any food and beverage minimum. Needless to say this is about $3000 more than I was anticipating to spend. Is this legal?
Robert A.
I know people hate this answer from attorneys, but it depends on the wording of the contract and the specific facts of the situation. Most contracts will have a clause governing assignment of the contract to a third party. That clause will determine if the terms of the original contract are assignable to the new company operating the venue. If the contract is not assignable, or if the original operator decided not to assign the contract to the new operator, then you will have a new agreement with the new operator. Most contracts will also have a clause governing how the terms of the contract can be changed. If you would like a review of your situation and your contract, you can request a proposal for a review session. I generally do those at a flat fee, based on the length of the contract. I'm sure other attorneys would offer similar rates.

Equipment Lease
Maryland
Can an attorney negotiate an equipment lease to own purchase
I enter into a lease to own purchase HVAC equipment agreement; unfortunately, have fallen behind on payments-would like to keep unit! - In need of an attorney
Donya G.
Hello, I can assist you in negotiating to keep the equipment. I would first need to review the agreement and advise of the terms in which we can achieve that based on your contract. I would then call the leasing company and negotiate a settlement if I can. It would be up to the language in the agreement and the parties to decide whether or not to accept the offer. I have negotiated settlements in the past for my clients and have extensive experience with it. If you would like my assistance, you can contact me through the website. Otherwise, you can post your job on the website for other attorneys to bid and apply to the job. All the best Donya Gordon
Contracts
Book Publishing Agreement
Texas
Can a book publishing agreement be terminated if the publisher fails to fulfill their obligations?
I recently signed a book publishing agreement with a small publishing company, and they promised to provide editing, marketing, and distribution services for my book. However, it has been several months since the agreement was signed, and the publisher has failed to fulfill their obligations. They have not provided any editing or marketing support, and my book is not being properly distributed. I am concerned about the future success of my book and wondering if I have grounds to terminate the agreement due to the publisher's breach of contract.
Ricardo A.
Material Breach by Publisher – Right to Terminate:Ye s – under Texas law, if a book publisher fails to fulfill fundamental obligations under the publishing contract, the author (non-breaching party) may have the right to terminate the agreement. A material breach (a failure that goes to the heart of the contract) by one party allows the other party to end the contract and cease further performance. For example, if the publisher does not publish the book or fails to provide agreed-upon marketing/promotion crucial to the book’s success, that failure can be deemed a material breach of the publishing agreement. In such a case, the author can treat the contract as terminated due to the publisher’s non-performance. Texas courts recognize that when one party doesn’t “hold up their end of the bargain” in a significant way, the other party is relieved from continuing the contract. Contractual Termination Clauses: The specific written contract terms are critical here. Most publishing agreements are written and often contain provisions addressing default or termination. For instance, the contract might state that if the publisher fails to publish the book by a certain deadline or fails to pay royalties, the author can terminate and regain rights. Any such clause in the agreement will govern the termination process. Typically, publishing contracts include a requirement that the author give the publisher written notice of the breach and a chance to cure it within a specified time before the author can terminate. Texas law enforces these notice-and-cure provisions as written. Always check if the agreement has a clause like “Termination for Publisher’s Failure to Perform” or an “out-of-print”/reversion clause that triggers if the publisher isn’t meeting obligations. Notice and Opportunity to Cure: Before immediately canceling the contract, the author should follow any procedural steps required by the contract. Commonly, formal notice to the publisher describing their failure is required, along with a reasonable opportunity for the publisher to fix the problem. For example, if the publisher missed the publication deadline, the contract might require the author to give notice and maybe 30 days for the publisher to cure (publish or make arrangements) before termination is effective. This aligns with general contract principles in Texas – acting in good faith and giving the breaching party a chance to remedy can be necessary if the contract stipulates it. If the publisher fails to cure the breach in the prescribed time, the author can proceed to terminate the agreement. Grounds for Termination – “Failure to Fulfill Obligations”: Failing to meet essential obligations– such as not meeting publication deadlines, not printing or distributing the book at all, or not paying the author – typically constitutes a material breachin a publishing contract. If the breach “defeats the purpose of the contract” (for instance, the whole point was to publish and promote the book, and the publisher isn’t doing that), Texas law would consider it a substantial failure warranting termination. In one illustrative scenario, an author asked if they could end the contract because the publisher missed multiple release deadlines; the legal reasoning was that if timely publication was a key term, repeated delays amount to a major breach justifying termination. Likewise, lack of promised marketing support could be a breach if it significantly undermines the book’s success. The author should document how the publisher’s non-performance is a serious violation of the agreement. Remedies upon Termination: If a publishing agreement is terminated for the publisher’s breach, the author is generally released from any further obligations to that publisher and can seek remedies. This often means the author can keep any advance already paid (depending on the contract) and reclaim the book rights. The author may also seek damages for any financial losses caused by the delay or non-performance, though in publishing, usually the primary “remedy” is getting the rights back so the author can find a new publisher. Under contract law, the non-breaching party is entitled to be put in the position they would have been if the contract had been performed – in practical terms, the author could claim lost profits or opportunities if provable. However, many publishing contracts limit remedies, so it’s important to follow the contract’s termination procedure to ensure the rights revert to the author cleanly. In summary, yes, an author can terminate a book publishing agreement if the publisher materially fails to fulfill their obligations. Texas law treats a publisher’s significant failure (missed deadlines, no publication, lack of payment, etc.) as a material breach that can justify ending the contract. The author should invoke any applicable contract clauses, give required notice and time to cure, and then terminate if the issue remains unremedied. Once properly terminated for breach, the author is no longer bound by the contract and can seek appropriate remedies for the publisher’s breach.
