Contracts Legal Questions and Answers
Real Property
Real Estate Sale Agreement
Massachusetts
Can a seller back out of a Real Estate Sale Agreement after signing it?
I recently entered into a Real Estate Sale Agreement with a seller to purchase a property. However, a few days after signing the agreement, the seller expressed their desire to back out of the deal. They claim that they received a better offer from another buyer. I'm wondering if the seller has the right to do this, or if I have any legal recourse to enforce the agreement and proceed with the purchase of the property.
Moss S.
It all depends on the contingencies that are contained in the agreement. Some of those contingencies include an inspection, financing, title defects and more. I would have to review the agreement to let you know precisely what rights that you have to terminate the transaction.
Contracts
Photography Usage Rights Agreement
Florida
Can a photography license agreement restrict the use of photographs taken in public places?
As a professional photographer, I often capture images in public places, such as city streets and parks, and license them to clients for various purposes. Recently, I received a photography license agreement from a potential client that includes a clause restricting the use of photographs taken in public places without obtaining additional permissions or model releases. I am unsure if such a clause is legally enforceable and if it infringes on my rights as a photographer to freely capture and license images in public spaces. Can a photography license agreement restrict the use of photographs taken in public places, and if so, what are the limitations and considerations that need to be taken into account?
Ralph S.
You can put pretty much any kid of restriction in your agreement and decide what you want and not want transferred. It's your artistic work, it does not matter what the picture is of (I guess maybe it's difficult to prove the photo is yours?). However, in a breach of contract situation, you need to show your damages. I would consider some liquidated damages provision that they would pay you a set amount if it used for any other purpose.
Contracts
Coaching Agreement
New York
Can a coaching agreement be terminated if the coach fails to meet the agreed-upon objectives?
I entered into a coaching agreement with a professional coach to help me improve my business skills and achieve specific objectives within a certain timeframe. However, after several sessions, it is becoming apparent that the coach is not adequately addressing my needs and failing to help me make progress towards my goals. Can I terminate the coaching agreement and seek a refund or another coach who can better meet my needs?
Damien B.
In this situation, both parties agreeing to terminate the contract is best because of your dissatisfaction. The coach's failure to provide adequate advice could be difficult to prove. Conversely, the coach would have to prove they provided adequate services. So, a mutual agreement to terminate the agreement is preferable. You could attempt to negotiate a partial reimbursement.
Contracts
Demand Letter For Payment
New Jersey
I provide$5000 deposit to reserve an apt for my mother in an ALF. Was gold it would be returned if she needed a higher level of care, which she did. they refused to refund
When I asked why they could not reimburse even part of the deopost becasue she needed a higher level of care, they then told me that the $5000 had already been paid to the attorney who propared the promissary note. I have researched the cost of promissory notes and they run at abbout $575 max, I then asked if tthat money could be put toward her goin to the faciity once she had become more stable and they said they would look intoit and never got back to me.
Michael J.
I am sorry to hear about this situation. Your rights will be primarily dictated by the terms of the contract you signed when you gave the deposit, as well as any subsequent written communications with them. Assuming the terms therein are favorable, a demand letter from an attorney setting forth what specially you want from them and why it’s permitted is the best chance you have of getting this resolved quickly in your favor.
Contracts
Settlement Agreement
Connecticut
How are disputes resolved in settlement agreements?
I recently reached a settlement agreement with another party in a dispute, and I am concerned about how disputes would be handled if they arise in the future. I understand that settlement agreements are legally binding contracts, but I am unsure of what the process is for resolving potential disputes that may arise. I would like to know what my rights are and how disputes are typically handled in settlement agreements.
Donya G.
Typically in a settlement agreement there are terms that identify what the parties can do if there is a dispute. If the settlement agreement does not have dispute resolution language, then the parties genrally refer to the contract the parties engaged in, if there was one, and look to the dispute resolution in that document. As a CT licensed contract attorney and arbitrator, I can assist you with dispute resolution. Please contact me if you need further assistance. Donya Gordon
