Contracts
Venue Rental Agreement
Wisconsin
If a new company takes over my wedding venue is my original contract still valid at all?
I originally signed a contract months ago for my wedding venue. The venue was free as long as a $5,000 catering minimum was hit. Now a new company took over the venue and they are charging $3000 to use the venue not including catering and regardless of any food and beverage minimum. Needless to say this is about $3000 more than I was anticipating to spend. Is this legal?
Robert A.
I know people hate this answer from attorneys, but it depends on the wording of the contract and the specific facts of the situation. Most contracts will have a clause governing assignment of the contract to a third party. That clause will determine if the terms of the original contract are assignable to the new company operating the venue. If the contract is not assignable, or if the original operator decided not to assign the contract to the new operator, then you will have a new agreement with the new operator. Most contracts will also have a clause governing how the terms of the contract can be changed. If you would like a review of your situation and your contract, you can request a proposal for a review session. I generally do those at a flat fee, based on the length of the contract. I'm sure other attorneys would offer similar rates.

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.

Rental Agreement
North Carolina
How long is a typical rental agreement?
I am a landlord who is looking to rent out a property I own. I am in the process of drafting a rental agreement but I am unsure of the typical length of a rental agreement. I need to know how long a typical rental agreement is in order to ensure I am making a legally binding agreement.
N'kia N.
In North Carolina, it is hard to identify a "typical" length of a property rental agreement. A one-year term is quite common for residential rental agreements. However, for commercial rental agreements, duration varies widely. For example, a lease agreement for a suite in a hair salon might be month-to-month while a lease agreement for a medical facility might be for ten years or longer. In and of itself, the length of a property rental agreement does not determine its validity; but it can certainly affect other aspects of the rental relationship. For example, duration might affect whether the rental agreement must be recorded, whether the landlord must have insurance, how much notice one party must give the other in specific circumstances, and even what happens when the lease expires. Once in effect, a faulty rental agreement can leave a landlord with fewer rights and more liability exposure than expected. It might not hurt to have a knowledgeable attorney review a proposed rental agreement before presenting it to a prospective tenant to sign.
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.

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.
