You may want to start with having an attorney contact the breaching party to cure the default or pay you for the breach. If this cannot be resolved via negotiations, then litigation may be necessary. Please resubmit as a project on this platform so attorneys can bid on it.

SaaS Agreement
Illinois
Why do SAAS companies not provide warranties in their agreements?
Being asked to sign and am curious...
Sarah S.
Because it's in the name "Software as a service." Warranties are only for products. SAAS is constantly evolving and has a strives to always be working but it would be very hard to guarantee. Plus, product warranties are generally only guaranteed for a certain period of time and SAAS is usually good for the contract duration.

Consulting Agreement

Can I modify a consulting agreement later?
I am a small business owner who recently hired an independent contractor to provide consulting services. We have drafted a consulting agreement that includes the terms of our arrangement, but I am now considering making modifications to the agreement. I am seeking advice from a lawyer to understand the legal implications of modifying the agreement.
Jeff A.
Hi there, Yes, you can modify a consulting agreement by preparing an amendment, and having both you and the independent contractor sign it. The key is having the contractor first agree to any changes in principle, and then making sure the amendment (1) accurately reflects those changes, and (2) includes other standard language ensuring the continued integrity and enforceability of the original agreement.

Independent Contractor Agreement

How to ensure fairness in a contractor agreement?
I am an independent contractor that is about to enter into an agreement with a company. I am looking to ensure that the agreement is fair and beneficial for both parties. I want to make sure that my rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined in the agreement and that I am not being taken advantage of. I am looking for advice on how to ensure that the agreement is fair and equitable.
Jeff A.
You're correct that your agreement should be fair and beneficial to both parties involved. Often, however, when an independent contractor receives an agreement from a company, that proposed agreement has been drafted to be favorable to the company, because that's the company's primary interest. In order to ensure the agreement is fair and equitable, you'd need to identify the business and legal provisions that are drafted in a way that protects the company but not you, and either strike those provisions entirely (if the terms are unreasonable), or suggest they be written in a mutual form. Some common examples of these provisions are warranty disclaimers, indemnity, limitation of liability, and exclusivity.
