Master Service Agreement
Texas
What should be included in my master services agreement?
I am a small business owner who is in the process of entering into a Master Service Agreement with an outside party. I am looking for guidance on what should be included in the agreement in order to ensure that my interests are protected and that all parties involved are aware of their rights and responsibilities. I am seeking legal advice on this matter to ensure that the agreement is comprehensive and legally binding.
Kathryn K.
The critical terms for an MSA will vary widely depending on your industry and the nature of the transaction. Generally speaking, MSAs should include terms addressing: term, termination, structure of the transaction (i.e., are multiple SOWs contemplated), intellectual property ownership, limitations on liability, indemnification, warranties, timing and payment terms, and confidentiality. Those are what I would call the material terms that are critical to setting the expectations of the parties, protecting your interests, and most likely to come up in the event of a dispute. There are myriad other issues that are slightly less important but still need to be addressed, including everything from dispute resolution to assignment to independent contractor status. Depending on your industry, you may need highly detailed sections on data protection and service levels, or not need any language on those issues whatsoever. I highly recommend you consult with an attorney who has experience in drafting MSAs and can prepare a template for you to use for this transaction and all similar deals moving forward. Please note this is not legal advice and this message does not create an attorney-client relationship; I do, however, have extensive experience in commercial contracts and would be happy to assist.

Purchase Contract
Texas
Auto purchase agreement on trade in payoff.
The dealer we recently purchased a new car from didn’t pay off our trade in until 7 weeks after the contact. In Texas they have 25 days to pay off a trade in. We asked the dealer to to push back our payment 2 months since they were late paying off our trade in. I called the bank we financed with (Kia Financial) and they said to go to the dealer and have them push back the contract payments 2 months The dealer is saying there’s nothing they can do. I feel like we are being taken completely advantage of.
Donya G.
Have you spoken to the dealers manager or the manager of the dealership? if you haven't already done so, you should. Make sure to mention the delay in the dealer paying off the trade in and the fact that you called the the bank and they have told you this delay of two months can be done. If they don't listen to you, then it would be time to hire an attorney to assist you. If you would to engage my services where I would call the dealership on your behalf, you can contact me on the contracts counsel website and I would be happy to assist. Regards, Donya Gordon

Contractor Agreement
Texas
How to handle breaches in a contractor agreement?
I am currently working with a contractor to complete a project for my business. We have agreed to a contract and have been working together for the past few months. Recently, I have noticed that the contractor is not meeting the requirements of the contract and I would like to know how to handle these breaches in a contractor agreement.
Michelle T.
Great question. First, you want to read your contract very carefully to see if the actions are in fact a violation of its terms, sometimes there can be flexibility in the provisions with regard to timelines and so forth. If there is in fact a breach, make sure you keep accurate documentation of the violations. Often times, a well written letter to the other party listing their obligations under the contract and how they have breached those violations is enough to get them to change their behavior. If not, you have the option to ask the court to enforce the agreement or require the breaching party to compensate you for any damages.

Agreement Of Purchase And Sale
Texas
could the owner finance seller still be able to change the maturity date payment term of the contract post signature.
I sold my mortgage home by owner finance in 2016. It has 15 year maturity date term.
Max N.
Hello! Just to be clear, I am not licensed to practice in Texas, but I am a licensed attorney in Oklahoma. I have seen this question be unanswered for a while, so I thought I'd respond. Typically, once the parties have both agreed (by writing and signing) terms of a contract, including a maturity date for payment, the maturity date can only be changed by all parties in another signed writing. That means that one party (such as the owner finance seller) should not be able to change the payment terms of an agreement without your express approval. Hope that helps!

Consulting Agreement
Texas
What are common pitfalls in consulting agreements?
I am a business owner who is looking to hire a consultant to provide services for my company. I am currently in the process of drafting a consulting agreement and want to make sure I am aware of any potential pitfalls that could arise. I want to make sure that the agreement is fair to both parties and that all of our rights are properly protected.

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.
