Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Contracts

Photography Usage Rights Agreement

Washington

Asked on Aug 23, 2024

Can a photographer include a clause in a license agreement that prohibits the client from editing or altering the photographs?

I recently hired a photographer to take some professional headshots for my business. The photographer sent me a license agreement that includes a clause stating that I am not allowed to edit or alter the photographs in any way without their express permission. While I understand the importance of protecting the photographer's work, I also want to have the flexibility to make minor adjustments or enhancements to the images for my specific business needs. I'm wondering if this clause is legally enforceable and if there are any potential repercussions if I were to make edits without seeking permission.

Merry K.

Answered Sep 3, 2024

When entering into any type of contract with anyone and about anything, one of the parties can include any terms they desire as long as the term is not illegal. If you signed the license agreement before the photographer completed the work for you, you will need to seek and obtain express permission to edit or alter the photographs. If, however, the photographer sent you the agreement after he or she completed the work, including sending you the photos, and you paying for it, the photographer can't make you sign a contract after the fact, and such terms would likely not be enforceable. If you signed the agreement before the work was done, and you alter the photos, the photographer could sue you for breach of contract, copyright violation, and perhaps a few other types of intellectual property claims. If you like the photographer's work, it's best to work out arrangements with him or her or the company, because you may want a good relationship with them going forward. Moreover, the photographer may have a better skillset in regards to editing the photos to meet your needs. Please note that I am not accepting new work until the end of October - I just wanted to answer your question; I'm turning down all offers of work at this time. I also do not engage in litigation any more.

Book Publishing Agreement

Washington

Asked on Aug 2, 2024

Can a book publishing agreement be terminated if the publisher fails to meet certain obligations?

I have recently signed a book publishing agreement with a reputable publisher, but I have noticed that they are not fulfilling some of the obligations outlined in the contract, such as providing adequate marketing and promotion for my book. This has raised concerns for me as I believe their lack of effort may negatively impact the success of my book. I would like to know if there are any grounds for terminating the agreement based on the publisher's failure to meet these obligations.

Merry K.

Answered Sep 10, 2024

Like any other contract, if one party is not doing what they promised, that can be a valid reason for terminating a contract. I suggest that you first send a certified, return receipt letter and express your concerns. Use a polite, collaborative approach - don't make any threats.

Real Estate License Agreement

Washington

Asked on Jul 13, 2025

Is it possible to terminate a Real Estate License Agreement before the agreed upon expiration date?

I recently entered into a Real Estate License Agreement with a broker to work as a licensed real estate agent, but due to unforeseen personal circumstances, I am no longer able to continue in this profession and need to terminate the agreement before the agreed upon expiration date. I want to know if it is possible to end the agreement early and if there are any legal implications or penalties associated with doing so.

Merry K.

Answered Jul 29, 2025

It is usually possible to get out of a contract for employment (or work as an independent contractor) for these types of reasons (slavery was banned in the US some 150 years ago - no one can force you to work). I suggest that you talk with the broker and ask to get out of your contract. Let him or her know that you can provide a general letter from a health care provider to back up your request based on a health reason making you unable to work and/or fulfill your contract (the letter need not give specifics or otherwise violate your privacy). This could be a bit "trickier" if the broker has invested in you, eg, paid for training, licenses, etc - if that's the case, be prepared for this, and have a counter-offer ready, at least in your head. You will need to use all your negotiation skills - if your health issues may limit your ability to be at your best in such negotiations, you may want to bring in someone to negotiate on your behalf - this does not need to be an attorney. I hope that that helps. Please be aware that I've responded solely for educational purposes, and no attorney/client relationship has been formed between us.

Business Contract

Washington

Asked on Sep 24, 2023

Business contract with non-disclosure?

I am a small business owner looking to enter into a contract with another party. I am concerned about protecting my intellectual property and proprietary information that I will be sharing with the other party. Therefore, I am looking for advice on how to draft a non-disclosure agreement that will adequately protect my interests.

Merry K.

Answered Sep 26, 2023

Creating a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a crucial step to protect your intellectual property and proprietary information when entering into a contract with another party. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to draft an NDA that will help safeguard your interests: Understand Your Needs: Clearly identify what specific information you want to protect. This could include trade secrets, business plans, customer lists, product designs, or any other sensitive information. Consult an Attorney: It's highly recommended to consult with an attorney who specializes in intellectual property or contract law. They can provide you with tailored advice and ensure your NDA complies with applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Basic NDA Structure: Title: Start with a clear title such as "Non-Disclosure Agreement" or "Confidentiality Agreement." Parties: Identify the parties involved, including your business and the other party. Recitals or Purpose: Include a brief statement explaining the purpose of the agreement, such as why the parties are entering into it. Definition of Confidential Information: Define what constitutes confidential information. Be as specific as possible to leave no room for ambiguity. Obligations of the Receiving Party: Clearly outline the receiving party's obligations, including: The duty to keep the information confidential. The prohibition on disclosing, sharing, or using the information for any purpose other than the specified one. The requirement to use reasonable care to protect the information. Duration of Confidentiality: Specify the duration for which the information must remain confidential. This could be for a set number of years or until a specific event occurs. Exclusions from Confidential Information: Clearly list any information that is not considered confidential. This could include information that was already public, independently developed by the receiving party, or disclosed with your written consent. Consequences of Breach: Describe the consequences of a breach of the NDA, such as injunctive relief, monetary damages, or both. Jurisdiction and Governing Law: Specify the jurisdiction where disputes will be resolved and the governing law that will apply. Miscellaneous Provisions: Include any other necessary clauses, such as dispute resolution methods, severability, and the entire agreement clause (which states that the NDA constitutes the entire agreement between the parties). Execution and Signatures: Provide spaces for the signatures of both parties, along with their printed names and dates. Review and Negotiation: Allow both parties to review and negotiate the terms. Be prepared for some back-and-forth discussions before reaching a final agreement. Legal Counsel Review: Before finalizing and signing the NDA, have your attorney review it to ensure it meets your specific needs and is legally enforceable. Remember that NDA templates are widely available, but they may not fully address your unique situation. It's essential to tailor the agreement to your specific needs and consult with legal professionals to ensure it adequately protects your intellectual property and proprietary information. Additionally, you should make sure that the other party understands the terms and willingly agrees to them before proceeding with any confidential discussions or transactions.

Recruitment Agency Contract

Washington

Asked on Apr 27, 2025

Is it legal for a recruiting agency to charge a fee for providing a candidate who was previously referred by another agency?

I recently engaged a recruiting agency to assist in finding a suitable candidate for a position at my company. However, another agency had previously referred a candidate who I ultimately hired through the new agency. Now, the first agency is claiming that they are entitled to a fee for the candidate, even though they did not actively participate in the hiring process. I would like to know if it is legally permissible for the new agency to charge a fee for providing a candidate who was previously referred by another agency.

Merry K.

Answered Jun 10, 2025

I'm sorry to hear about what seems like a complicated mess. I suggest that you carefully review the contracts from each agency. The types of questions a contracts attorney would look for would include whether or not you're obligated to the first agency for referring a person and whether or not the second agency may be on the hook to the first agency for referring an employee signed up with the first agency. I'd want to know the time limits for referrals - eg, if the first agency's contract says that you would be obligated to pay them for a hire within "x" amount of time after referring the candidate. To my knowledge, this is the only chapter of Washington State law to review, that is on point: https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=19.31 It's often possible to negotiate a settlement in these types of situations. The first agency wants to be paid for their time/effort, which is reasonable, especially if they had a contract with you, but you may be able to settle (if you do, be sure to get everything in writing - that they release you from further liability). If the second agency is somehow at fault, you may be able to get them to reduce the fee they charged you, and/or pay the first agency some or all of the first agency's fee. I hope this has been helpful. This is not the kind of project I take on anymore, but you should be able to find a great employment attorney through ContractCounsel.com if you need one to help you navigate.
