FAQs
Commercial contracts vary significantly from contract to contract. You should read the whole contract before signing to ensure it meets your requirements. The key elements we suggest you review are:
- The payment terms – what you are expected to pay and when? Are there additional payments or retainers due?
- Termination clause – look at how you can exit the agreement and what are your termination rights?
- Liabilities – what are you liable for, and the limits of those liabilities, should you breach the terms?
- Governing law – what is the governing law?
Our commercial team can help you understand the key terms of the contract.
