Why write a contract? 

 

The best way to set up a business for success is to memorialize the terms of an agreement in writing. How an agreement is worded will determine each party’s liability throughout the lifespan of the agreement and what risks will be allocated to which party. In addition, dictating the scope of each party’s responsibilities will clarify each party’s role and the consequences of breaching those terms. Therefore, it is best to have a detailed written agreement framing the relationship of the parties. This includes writing out provisions related to: 

​

  • Employees: 

    • Type and length of the employment

    • Nature of the employment

    • Restrictions on actions

    • Pre-employment qualification 

    • Roles and responsibilities of the employees. 

  • Property: 

    • Scope of property usage 

    • Which party is responsible for property maintenance

    • Length of property usage

    • Ability to transfer property or assign property

    • Consequences of damage to property

  • Payment terms of the deal: 

    • How payment is tendered

    • Payment due dates

    • Type of payment (flat fee, contingent, percentage, ect.) 

    • Consequences of late payment or no payment  

  • How the agreement terminates; 

    • Who may terminate 

    • Method of termination

    • Date or timing of termination

  • Which party takes on a specific liability

  • Insurance requirements

  • The role and responsibility of each party

  • Consequences of breaching the agreement
