Business Contract
Tennessee
Do I need a user agreement for my business?
I’ve recently started my business which is a web-based sentimental message delivery company. Essentially my business allows people to upload written, Audio, and video files to my website (data warehouse is managed through Amazon Web Services), for these messages to be delivered to their intended recipients at a later date in the future or after they pass away. I intended to manage the post-life part by asking the customers to submit their DOB, full name, and most recent address, as we plan to run regular scans against the SSA’s death master. I realize that this is personal information, that may fall under HIPAA penalties. My Amazon expert recommended a user agreement so I’ve been reading up on them, and I just want to confirm this is the appropriate approach. Please advise and let me know what the rate for this user agreement would be through your services. My website is below. Here’s the website: O1morething.com

Purchase And Sale Contract
New Jersey
When do you sign a purchase and sale agreement?
Getting my ducks in a row for a house transaction that is coming up. Who signs and when do you sign?
Donya G.
You should sign a PSA after you have done your due diligence. You will need to look at the financials and the books of the company and complete any background check, including searching the court system for any lawsuits against the entity. Once you are comfortable with what you see, and you have the PSA reviewed by an attorney and it is in line with what the parties agreed to and protects your rights, then you can sign. As a contracts attorney that specializes in the purchase and sale of business, I can assist you with your PSA. You can find me on the website or my profile page - Donya Gordon Donya Gordon

Consulting Agreement
North Carolina
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.
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.

LLC Operating Agreement
Florida
What should be included in my LLC operating agreement?
I recently formed an LLC with two other partners and we are in the process of finalizing our operating agreement. I am looking for advice on what should be included in the agreement in order to ensure the legal and financial protection of all partners involved. I understand the importance of having a comprehensive agreement in place, and would like to ensure that all of our interests are properly represented.
Fabian G.
Hello, My name is Fabian Garcia and I am a Florida-licensed attorney. What follows is a brief overview of certain important considerations when drafting an Operating Agreement: There are several items that need to be considered when drafting an Operating Agreement. First, you will need to determine whether your company will be manager-managed or member-managed. This is important because it will lay the foundation as to which individuals/entities will have the ability to control the company. Proper definitions should be used throughout the entire Operating Agreement to make sure that there are no ambiguities. Capital contributions are generally attached as an exhibit to the Operating Agreement, and describe the amounts that each member has contributed. Note that capital contributions can also be in the form of sweat equity. You will also want to make sure and address whether additional capital contributions will be required. Another item that must be touched on the Operating Agreement is membership. How will new members be admitted? Will a vote be required? Note that typically, members are not liable for the company's obligations by merely being members. There should be language addressing that as well. You will also want to make sure that there is a mechanism as to how members may dissociate from the company and whether the remaining members will have any buy-out rights. Next, the Operating Agreement should clearly address how profits and losses will be allocated. This goes hand in hand with how distributions will be made to the members, if any. Typically, if it is a manager-managed company, the manager will determine when the distributions must be made. All of the items which need to be voted on, along with the required voting percentages, need to be included in the Operating Agreement. The Operating Agreement should address whether the members will be able to transfer their membership interests in the company. Some third-parties may be considered permitted transferees. Additionally, the Operating Agreement should generally state that it will indemnify the members in the event of a lawsuit, under certain circumstances. Lastly, the Operating Agreement should always have a dispute resolution mechanism, indicating how disputes are to be handled. I routinely assist business owners by drafting Operating Agreements, along with other complex legal documents. Please let me know if I can ever be of assistance. Thank you.

Asset Purchase Agreement
North Carolina
How to handle disputes in an asset purchase agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a business and the seller and I have agreed on all the major terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. However, we are having difficulty agreeing on the terms of dispute resolution. We both want to ensure that any disputes arising from the agreement are handled in a timely and cost-effective manner. As such, I am looking for advice from a lawyer on how best to handle disputes in an asset purchase agreement.
N'kia N.
The 4 main options for dispute resolution in North Carolina are negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. The best option(s) for dispute resolution will differ depending on such factors as types of claims and amount in controversy. Although clauses requiring private arbitration have become commonplace in business-related contracts, with the exception of small claims, private arbitration through organizations like the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service ("JAMS") often costs the parties as much time and money as litigation. Therefore, it is important to choose your dispute resolution option(s) carefully and not enter into an agreement blindly. A knowledgeable corporate attorney can help evaluate your best option(s) for dispute resolution related to your business purchase agreement and can even draft the relevant contract term(s). Good luck!
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts 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.
