Business Partnership Agreement
Tennessee
Zied kefi partnership
I wanna open restaurant with my friend and make legal partnership documents
Rebecca R.
You have the right idea to put the partnership in writing. Your attorney will be able to help you think through several issues: investment into the business, operating the business, the potential to add more partners or investors, and an exit strategy for each partner or both partners. The document to start with is a business partnership agreement that outlines the ground rules for your partnership based on the Tennessee law. It can be a very straightforward document, or more complex depending on your needs. For instance, you may also want to create a statement of partnership authority which designates which partners have the authority to enter into agreements on behalf of the partnership, or it may limit the authority of certain partners. This is the kind of business agreement I help small business owners with regularly, and I invite you to request a bid for my services on your project through ContractsCounsel.

Noncompetition Agreement
New York
Looking for legal advice on a non-compete agreement in NY State
I am an existing employee of a medium sized privately owed manufacturing company and have worked here for over 15 years. I recently was asked to sign a non-compete and non-disclosure agreement. I have had a series of promotions over the last 7 years but this agreement was presented several months after my latest promotion without any additional consideration for signing this agreement now.
Donya G.
Signing a non compete or a non disclosure is not in and of itself illegal. In NY and in most states a non compete are individually accessed based on the language and scope (how long and what the non compete entails) and is generally examined by courts under a watchful eye as long as its not too restrictive or burdensome and would not prevent the free movement of goods and services. In order to advise you on your agreement, I would need to review it to advise you. If you need additional assistance, you may contact me directly on Contracts Counsel to engage my services. All the best. Donya Gordon

Contractor Agreement
California
Can a contractor agreement be modified without written consent?
I recently entered into a contractor agreement with a company to provide my services for a specific project, but the company has now informed me that they want to make changes to the terms of the agreement, including the scope of work and payment terms, without obtaining my written consent. I am unsure if they have the legal right to modify the agreement without my agreement and would like to understand my rights in this situation.
Dawn K.
Without seeing the terms in question, this is a general contracts answer: 1. Does the contract itself specify how it can be modified, changed or amended? If so, the contract itself should tell you whether this is okay. 2. If the contract doesn't state how, it can usually be modified, changed or amended, if you both have "mutual" agreement to change any terms, and in writing. 3. If they are trying to change it on their side only, and it is not permitted in the original agreement, this may not be allowed and depending on the terms to be changed, and to what extent, it may be some level of breach. Again, I do not have the contract, but I understand the terms to be changed include scope and payment, which may be enough of a change from the original agreement to potentially create a new one to substitute- with your consent. Hope this helps.

SaaS Reseller Agreement
North Carolina
Can a SaaS reseller agreement be terminated by the software provider without cause?
Can a SaaS reseller agreement be terminated by the software provider without cause? I am a software reseller who has entered into a reseller agreement with a SaaS provider. The agreement does not specify any termination clauses or conditions, but it also does not explicitly state that the software provider can terminate the agreement without cause. Recently, the software provider informed me that they will be terminating the agreement without providing any specific reason. I am concerned about the potential impact on my business and want to understand if the software provider has the legal right to terminate the agreement without cause, and if so, what my options are moving forward.
Jeff G.
Hi. The answer is entirely dependent on the agreement’s language. Without seeing the contract, it’s impossible to give you a complete answer. Generally, an agreement can only be terminated by it’s own conditions, and absent a specific termination clause, it can usually be terminated either due to a breach of the agreement or by suing for breach and asking for termination as the result (so-called “equitable relief”). But with a reseller agreement, there are lots of new variables, as you’re not a user of the product… questions about to who and when you can resell., specific product versions, support provisions, etc. And there’s also a general prohibition against contracts of servitude, requiring an indefinite provision of personal services (which a SaaS contract could be argued to be). So again, the contract language is critical.
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
