How a Computer Software Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Reseller Agreement in California

In 2025, a business in California sought assistance with a reseller agreement related to a new feature enabling users to accept payments through its software. The client needed a thorough review of the contract established with the payment processing company to identify potential pitfalls and ensure fair terms, specifically regarding indemnification, warranty, and arbitration clauses. They aimed to understand any language that could be disadvantageous and to explore more balanced indemnification options. As a result, the client received 12 proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $1,500, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of one week.
