Whatever your business is, having clear agreements in place means everyone knows what the deal is, you are protected if something goes wrong and disputes are far less likely. That is where our commercial law services can help your business.
Terms of business, which are also known as Terms & Conditions, are important for protecting your business should something go wrong, which is why it is important to ensure that you set them up correctly. They can include everything from payment terms, liability provisions, and even something as simple as service descriptions.
If you’re working with freelancers, then it is important to ensure you have your freelancer contracts in place. A contractor agreement outlines the terms and conditions between a service provider or contractor, and a client. It includes scope of work, payment terms, deadlines, confidentiality, termination rights and other key information about the relationship between contractors and the business.
All businesses need agreements for the goods or services they provide, whether this is in the form of:
These documents help protect businesses if a dispute arises, and they should include a clear scope or specification of the goods or services, the parties involved, contract pricing, and liability details.
Your standard agreements should be straightforward to use and understand, consistent with your brand’s tone of voice and reflect your appetite for risk.
Whether you need new standard contracts for your business or help reviewing third party contracts, we’ll take the time to really understand your business, the goods or services you offer and your particular needs or concerns. We’ll then make sure the documents reflect you needs and protect you properly and that you understand what you’re signing.
Distribution agreements are written commercial contracts that set out the terms and conditions and the relationship between a manufacturer or supplier and a distributor. They often include product descriptions, customer type, duration of the agreement, payment details, IP clauses, and termination arrangements.
Agency agreements are written commercial contracts that set out the terms and conditions and the relationship between a principal and an agent. Key points to include are whether the agent is instructed on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any restrictions on territory, the term of the contract, terms for payment of fees or commission and termination rights.
We can assist with all stages of distribution and agency agreements, including drafting and negotiation, to ensure that the agreement is beneficial to both sides.
Website terms of use outline the rights and obligations for users who visit and use a website. They typically cover user behaviour, IP rights, content usage, disclaimers, use of cookies, and privacy policies. They are used to set expectations regarding interactions on the website, and protect site owners from disputes that may arise.
It is important to make sure your website terms are correctly set up before you start your business. Here at Tend Legal, we can help with the process of setting up your website terms of use before it even goes live. We can also help you update existing terms.
Making sure you adhere to data protection laws is a must. Your business and websites need to ensure they are abiding by GDPR and other regulations to protect your business from any potential infringements or disputes, and make sure you are fulfilling your legal obligations.
Here at Tend Legal, we can help you with your data protection notices and policies to ensure you are meeting all the legal requirements you need to. We can also help make any changes should the rules change in the future.
