Asset Purchase Contract
Texas
Business has been sold
I sold my business in 9-2016 for $300,000 at 6% interest and received $4500 a month for payments then in January 2020 lowered the payments to $3000. How long until the note is paid off? Also the buyers now think they paid too much and want to change the amount, can they so that?
Donya G.
Hello, Everything will depend on what your contract states. If the agreement said they paid the amount they did, it would not matter if they now think otherwise but it depends on your agreement. Generally, any modifications and revisions to an agreement must be in writing and signed by the parties. This would also need to be in your agreement. How I can help - I can review your agreement and advise you on how to take next steps with the buyers. You can connect with me through the website or directly to my profile page at Donya Gordon Esq.

Terms of Service
Texas
How to include confidentiality in terms of service?
I recently started a business and need to include terms of service for my customers. I want to ensure that all customer data is kept confidential and secure, and am looking for advice on how to include this in the terms of service. I understand the importance of having a well-drafted terms of service to protect my business, and I want to make sure that the terms of service include confidentiality provisions.
J.R. S.
Congratulations on your new business. I am happy to see you are taking the steps to protect your customers, as well as your business. Here is a general list of things for you to consider as a Texas entity: 1. Clear Definition of Confidential Information: This can include customer files, lists, business, marketing, financial or sales record, data, electronic data, program, plan, survey, and any other record or information relating to the present or future business, products, or services. It can also include customer and patient related information that could damage the company if this information were to come into the possession of competitors. 2. Confidentiality Conditions: The terms of service should detail the conditions under which information qualifies as confidential. For instance, the information could be considered confidential if it's disclosed to the recipient, either directly or indirectly, including the identity of customers, consultants, and suppliers. 3. Regulations for Public Access: The terms of service should include regulations to ensure non-discriminatory public access while complying with confidentiality and disclosure protections. 4. Non-Disclosure of Customer Information: The terms of service should state that customers' identities should not be disclosed, even if the trade secret being protected is a customer list. 5. Return of Confidential Information: The terms of service should state that upon termination of the agreement, the recipient is required to return all confidential information. Depending on what your company does, and the type of information that is collected on your customers, there may be more necessary legal disclosures. You can contact me for more details or to set up a private consultation to evaluate your legal disclosures necessary for your industry.

Are electronic signatures valid on contractor agreements?
I am an independent contractor and I was recently asked to sign an agreement using an electronic signature. I am concerned about the validity of this agreement and want to make sure that I am protected under the law if I sign it. I am looking for advice from a lawyer to understand if electronic signatures are legally valid on independent contractor agreements.

YES. How is that for a simple answer? Sadly - simple answers are rare with most lawyers. Not me. Check out my website where I offer fixed fee services on 1099 Contractor Agreement review or templates. www.fixedfeelawfirm.com.

Partnership Agreement
Texas
What about confidentiality in a partnership agreement?
I am starting a business with a partner and we are in the process of creating a Partnership Agreement. We both want to ensure that anything discussed or shared between us as part of the business is kept confidential. We are looking for advice on how to ensure that this is upheld in the Partnership Agreement.
Darryl S.
You can sign a Non-Disclosure provision within the Partnership Agreement or as a separate document. These are fairly standard and can be drafted quickly and easily.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts 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.
