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
Contracts
Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
Are templates for independent contractor agreements okay?
I am an independent contractor and am currently in the process of negotiating a new agreement with a client. I am trying to understand the implications of using a template agreement, as opposed to having an agreement written specifically for our situation. I want to ensure that I am protecting my interests and that the agreement is legally binding.
Shelia H.
If you are considering using a template for your independent contractor agreement, you should view it as a starting point. It can be a good way of finding boilerplate provisions that are going to be in just about every agreement. Unfortunately, because they are templates, you run the risk of leaving out important details that may apply to your situation. Additionally, the template might not go far enough in protecting interests that you specifically need to have protected. Think of it this way. Template agreements are usually so general, they will probably be valid in almost every state. Consequently, by being general, they usually leave out key details that would apply in your situation but not in other contractors' situations. You should always consider having an attorney review your agreement to make sure that the agreement meets your legal needs and that it is legally binding in your state.
Contracts
Nondisclosure Agreement
New York
Is pricing protected under an NDA?
I am in a negotiation with a vendor and they are trying to get us to sign a mutual NDA because they want to protect their pricing.
Ramsey T.
The answer depends upon how you define protected or confidential information under your NDA. Even if pricing is included as protected information, often pricing becomes "excluded" from the NDA protection because the "pricing" has been made public to other third parties. You are often better protected by having a pricing methodology and ensuring that such is protected under the NDA.
Contracts
Software Agreement
California
Can a SaaS company terminate and agreement with a client?
We are a SaaS company that wants to get out of a relationship with a client. What are our options?
Christopher M.
Typically your options are going to be controlled by the SAAS Agreement or other contracts between you and the client. There should be a section in there called “Termination” or something similar. Really, it would require a review of the contract to give more specific advice on this one.
Contracts
Debt Settlement Agreement
Florida
Debt settlement agreement due diligence?
I recently entered into a debt settlement agreement with a company and I am concerned about the due diligence that was conducted by the company. I am worried that I may have been taken advantage of and I would like to know if the agreement is legally binding. I would also like to know what options I have if the agreement turns out to be invalid.
Diane D.
The only way to tell if your agreement is legally binding and what options you have is to have an attorney review it. However, if all the parties have signed the agreement, it is most likely legal.

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.
