Contracts Legal Questions and Answers
Contracts
Industrial Building Lease
Kansas
Can the landlord change the terms of an industrial building lease agreement without my consent?
I recently signed a lease agreement for an industrial building to use as a manufacturing facility for my business. However, the landlord has informed me that they want to make changes to certain terms of the lease, such as increasing the rent and reducing the duration of the lease, without seeking my consent. I am concerned about my rights as a tenant and whether the landlord has the authority to unilaterally modify the lease agreement without my agreement.
Cherie M.
Unless there is something in the agreement that states otherwise, no, they are not allowed to make those kinds of changes without your consent.
Contracts
Service Level Agreement
North Carolina
Can a company be held liable for not meeting the service level agreement outlined in a contract?
I recently entered into a contract with a software development company to build a custom application for my business. The contract included a service level agreement (SLA) that outlined specific performance metrics and guarantees for the software. However, since the project started, the company has consistently failed to meet these performance metrics, causing significant delays and impacting the functionality of the application. I want to understand if the company can be held legally liable for not meeting the SLA and if I have any recourse to seek compensation or terminate the contract due to their failure to meet the agreed-upon terms.
Jeff G.
Yes. A SLA in a written contract is part of that contract. And even without a specifically-stated remedy, you may be able to sue for breach. It's not all cut-and-dried, however, as there can be a multitude of other contractual limitations or considerations that would need to be considered after a thorough review of the agreement, the documentation of the work that's been done and any type of waivers provided for missing the SLAs.
Contracts
Independent Contractor Agreement
Illinois
How to ensure fairness in a contractor agreement?
I am an independent contractor that is about to enter into an agreement with a company. I am looking to ensure that the agreement is fair and beneficial for both parties. I want to make sure that my rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined in the agreement and that I am not being taken advantage of. I am looking for advice on how to ensure that the agreement is fair and equitable.
Jeff A.
You're correct that your agreement should be fair and beneficial to both parties involved. Often, however, when an independent contractor receives an agreement from a company, that proposed agreement has been drafted to be favorable to the company, because that's the company's primary interest. In order to ensure the agreement is fair and equitable, you'd need to identify the business and legal provisions that are drafted in a way that protects the company but not you, and either strike those provisions entirely (if the terms are unreasonable), or suggest they be written in a mutual form. Some common examples of these provisions are warranty disclaimers, indemnity, limitation of liability, and exclusivity.
Contracts
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.
Contracts
Note Payable
Virginia
I loaned money to a 5013c organization, I want a lawyer to look over the contract, worried about them defaulting on it
I am worried about a 5013c organization defaulting on a promissary note, they do not seem to have their act together, want to have a lawyer look over the promissary note and get advice on what happens if they default on it
Donya G.
Sure. I take it they have not yet signed as yet? You can draft the agreement with some protections to ensure payment; however, you need to keep in mind that payment will always be contingent on whether they have money to pay or not. I am a contracts attorney and if you you would like my services, you can contact me on the contracts counsel website, or post your job on the website and attorneys will respond to your job. All the best Donya Gordon
