Franchise Agreement

Pennsylvania

Asked on Feb 5, 2022

I need help getting out of a franchise agreement and not paying the upfront fee

I have signed an agreement with nurse next door but that a crisis happened in my life that i had to spend my start up funds for, and now i cant start because i will end up filling for bankruptcy. And i told them this they did not reconsider pulling the agreement i signed when i have not started anything i have not take their training or and did not start doing the home care license and i don't have access to any of there software I just signed so is there a way that i could get out since i have not started anything please i can’t afford this anymore i used to when i signed but life happened

Ryan W.

Answered Feb 14, 2022

Hi I am sorry to hear about the crisis going on in your personal life. Unfortunately, the best answer I can provide is that "it depends." Once you sign a valid contract, the terms of the contract will likely control how you get out of that contract. Some contracts will have a rescission clause that will let you terminate if done so within a prescribed period of time. Others may have written notice requirements or other actions that are needed before the contract can be terminated. It is tough to tell you exactly how you can terminate your contract without first reviewing it.

Demand Letter

Maryland

Asked on Sep 19, 2023

Can I resend a revised demand letter?

I recently sent a demand letter to a business regarding payment owed for services rendered. The demand letter was not answered and I am looking to take further action. I am wondering if I can resend the demand letter with revised terms, or if I should pursue other legal action.

Kimm M.

Answered Oct 13, 2023

Theoretically, you can resend the demand letter with revised terms. However, if the business never responded to your first letter at all, that probably would not yield a good result. The next best step in this situation would be to pursue other legal action.

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.

Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 30, 2023

What are common clauses in purchase agreements?

I am in the process of purchasing a business, and I am looking for more information on the common clauses in a purchase agreement. I need to understand what is typically included in a purchase agreement so that I can make sure all the necessary terms are included in the document. Additionally, I want to make sure that I am not missing out on any important provisions or language that could be beneficial to me.

Sarah S.

Answered Nov 14, 2023

The purchase agreement includes essential clauses such as the identification of parties, a detailed description of the property or assets, the specified purchase price, payment terms, closing date, representations and warranties, indemnification provisions, details regarding default and remedies, confidentiality agreements, and termination conditions.

Consulting Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Nov 5, 2023

Can I have multiple clients in a consulting agreement?

I am a consultant looking to enter into an agreement with a client. I am interested in having multiple clients, but am not sure if this is allowed under a consulting agreement. I am concerned that if I am only able to take on one client, I will miss out on potential opportunities to expand my business.

N'kia N.

Answered Nov 7, 2023

A consultant who is an employee of the hiring party (an employer) is usually bound by the employer's restrictions, such as a prohibition against performing the same or similar work for third parties. On the other hand, an outside consultant is usually an independent contractor to the hiring party (a client). An independent contractor is a separate (independent) business from its client and is expected to generate revenue to cover its overhead, pay its employees and contractors, and make profit. Subject to applicable laws, whether to enter into an agreement that would limit its rights to provide services to third parties is in an independent contractor's discretion. A knowledgeable attorney can advise you on your rights under a proposed consulting agreement. The attorney might also be able to help you negotiate terms of a consulting agreement that protect you and your business.

I 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.
