Website Agreement
Texas
Is it necessary for my website to have a Terms of Service agreement?
I am in the process of launching a new website that will offer services and allow users to create accounts. I have heard that having a Terms of Service agreement is important to protect my website and outline the rights and responsibilities of users, but I am unsure if it is legally necessary and what specific elements it should include.
Jennifer B.
Every website that offers services and lets users create accounts needs Terms of Service - it's like having a contract with your users. It's crucial, especially in Texas. Recent Texas court cases have made it clear: you need to make sure users actually see and agree to your terms. The StubHub case is a perfect example. The court looked at whether users had fair notice of the terms and actively showed they agreed to them. The best way to do this is with what we call a "clickwrap" agreement - that's where users have to click "I agree" during sign-up. Your Terms of Service should include: ACCEPTANCE: Clear instructions on how users accept the terms - that "I agree" button. Then, spell out exactly what services you're providing and what users can and can't do on your site. PRIVACY POLICY: You'll also need a privacy policy section that explains how you handle user data. Depending upon your services and the nature of the data you are collecting and from where your users are arriving, you may need separate detailed privacy policy and a cookie policy. ADDITIONAL: You'll want sections on how disputes get resolved (like arbitration), limits on your liability, and your right to update the terms later. Getting this right protects you legally and sets clear expectations with your users.

Joint Venture Agreement
Texas
What's normal term in a joint venture?
I am currently in discussions with another company to form a joint venture to pursue a business opportunity. As part of our negotiations, we are trying to determine the appropriate term for the joint venture, including the duration of the joint venture and the conditions under which it can be extended or terminated. However, I am unclear on what is considered a normal or typical term for a joint venture, and what factors should be considered when determining the length of the venture. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to guide me through the process of negotiating the term of the joint venture and to ensure that the terms are legally sound and meet my needs.

A joint venture is a partnership organized for a specific purpose. Let's say that you formed a joint venture to renovate a house and sell it. The joint venture ends once the project is completed. In this case the joint venture would end when you sold the house, PS For more information about business entities, download a free copy of my ebook "Should Your Small Business Become a Corporation or an LLC?

Any tax benefits of a joint venture?
I am currently exploring the possibility of forming a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity. While I am aware of the potential benefits of sharing resources and expertise with another company, I am also interested in understanding if there are any tax advantages to forming a joint venture. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to guide me through the potential tax benefits and implications of a joint venture.
Jimmy V.
A joint venture is a type of partnership. Unless the partnership elects to be taxed like a corporation, it is a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. In other words, there is no taxation at the company level, just at the individual level.

Business Contract
Texas
Jurisdiction for a business contract?
I am starting a new business venture and need to create a business contract. I am unsure of which jurisdiction the contract should be written in, as my business will have operations in multiple states. I am looking for advice on which jurisdiction would be most suitable for my business contract.
Curt L.
I most instances, I would specify in the contract that the laws of the State of your principal office and business operations apply to the contract. I would also include a mandatory local jurisdiction and local venue for the same reasons. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue are each separate concepts.

Liability Waiver
Texas
Is a liability waiver binding on heirs?
I recently inherited a business from a family member and I am looking to create a liability waiver for the business. I want to make sure that the waiver is binding on the heirs of the business in the event that the business is passed down. I want to make sure that any potential liabilities are not passed on to future generations of the family.
J.R. S.
A liability waiver can indeed be binding on heirs if the language of the waiver expressly includes heirs or assigns. However, the binding nature of a waiver on heirs could be affected by several factors. Administrative regulations such as 1 TAC § 373.209 and statutes like V.T.C.A., Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 71.021 and V.T.C.A., Special Districts Code § 8502.020 stipulate conditions under which heirs can assert claims, which could potentially affect the binding nature of a waiver on heirs. Finally, the enforceability of such waivers can be influenced by whether the instrument is recorded or not, as per V.T.C.A., Property Code § 13.001. In summary, while a liability waiver can be binding on heirs, the enforceability of such waivers can be influenced by various factors, including the specific language of the waiver, the termination of the contract, administrative regulations or statutes, and whether the instrument is recorded or not. I recommend having a discussion with an attorney and have them draft the language to achieve your goal.
