What should I do? How should I proceed this situation.
Hello, I sign a sale contract to buy a dog with a purchase of travel cost. The sales person received a payment and started the process to ship the puppy. But it came a hiccup when the puppy to small to be in a crate that was not secure. The airport was trying to charge 1000 to 1500 which the sales person did not have and wanted me to pay it. I could not pay it and the sales person could not supply the crates from a local store. So we made a agreement he would pick the dog up from the airport and refund the money back. It has been 6 hours and the sales person did not refunded and now I can not get in touch with him. What should I do

Do you have a written agreement? Does this agreement deal with what happens in the event that either party breaches the agreement? How did you pay? If you paid by credit card, you can call and cancel payment.

Can I edit a signed business contract?
I am starting a business and am in the process of signing a contract with a vendor. I am concerned that some of the details in the contract may need to be changed after it is signed. I am wondering if it is possible to edit a signed business contract or if I would need to create an entirely new contract.

It is almost always possible to amend a signed contract, but, of course, all signatories to the original contract would also need to sign any amendment. If, however, you foresee things you may want to sign later down the road, it'd be best to negotiate changes to the original contract, rather than amending an existing one....for one thing, what if the other signatories don't agree to your proposed amendment(s)?

Penalty for breaking a business contract?
I am a small business owner looking to enter into a contract with a larger company. We have negotiated terms and conditions, but I am concerned about the potential penalty if either party breaks the contract. I would like to know what the legal consequences may be for a breach of contract, so I can make an informed decision about entering into the agreement.
Merry K.
Some contracts incorporate both reasons for breaching or ending a contract, and some incorporate the amount of a penalty. Most business contracts incorporate what state's laws apply, and whether a dispute will be taken to arbitration or court. If nothing is specified in a contract, parties are most likely to sue for lost income. To truly make an informed decision, I recommend that you consult with a business attorney BEFORE you sign a contract, so that he or she can review the proposed contract and recommend changes BEFORE you sign.

Witnessing a business contract: required?
I am a small business owner who is considering signing a business contract with another party. I am aware that contracts are legally binding documents, and I want to ensure that I am making the best decision for my business. I am wondering if it is necessary to have a witness present when signing the contract, and what the implications of not having a witness present would be.
Merry K.
It is not necessary to have a witness(es) witness the signing of a contract, but it can be helpful if you later wanted to content that you were coerced into signing or agreeing to terms that you protested. However, if you have such concerns, you should not sign any contract. The advantage of having a notary witness a signing is that a WA State notary will check the legal indentification of all signatories to a contract and ensure they are who they say they are; appear to be competent to understand what they're signing; etc.

Do I need a user agreement for my business?
I’ve recently started my business which is a web-based sentimental message delivery company. Essentially my business allows people to upload written, Audio, and video files to my website (data warehouse is managed through Amazon Web Services), for these messages to be delivered to their intended recipients at a later date in the future or after they pass away. I intended to manage the post-life part by asking the customers to submit their DOB, full name, and most recent address, as we plan to run regular scans against the SSA’s death master. I realize that this is personal information, that may fall under HIPAA penalties. My Amazon expert recommended a user agreement so I’ve been reading up on them, and I just want to confirm this is the appropriate approach. Please advise and let me know what the rate for this user agreement would be through your services. My website is below. Here’s the website: O1morething.com

My company is going to have a contract deal with another company from Togo. And we have to find a Senior Advocate of Togo to represent us because we couldn't go there for the signing ceremony. But the problem is, we still don't know the average cost to hire a senior advocate when it comes to power of attorney. Can you help us by giving the average cost so we know how much money we can negotiate? Thank you so much for your help.
We are exporters who's going to have a contract deal with an importer from Togo.
