Business Contract Law FAQs
What constitutes a breach of contract?
A breach of contract happens when any party fails to execute their duties according to the terms specified in the agreement. A material breach refers to a major violation which results in substantial damage to the entire value of the contract.
What are the remedies for a breach of contract in Texas?
Texas law provides three main options for handling contract breaches. The available remedies for breach of contract in Texas include monetary compensation for losses through compensatory damages and specific performance orders from the court and liquidated damages when the contract specifies them.
How long do I have to sue for a breach of contract in Texas?
Texas law provides a four-year time period to file a breach of contract lawsuit starting from the date of the breach.
Can I terminate a business agreement after signing it?
Most business agreements cannot be terminated after signing. The three-day right to cancel exists only for specific door-to-door sales and timeshare purchases under particular circumstances.
What is a "force majeure" clause?
A force majeure clause exists in contracts to provide protection when parties cannot fulfill their duties because of unpredictable and uncontrollable circumstances like natural disasters and wars and pandemics.
A business contract needs to contain which essential elements?
The essential elements of a good business contract should include all parties' identification and complete work description and payment schedules and confidentiality agreements and intellectual property protection and termination rules and conflict resolution mechanisms.
Are non-compete clauses enforceable in Texas?
Texas courts enforce non-compete agreements when they contain specific boundaries regarding scope and duration and geographic area. Texas law requires non-compete agreements to receive valid consideration at the time of signing for protection of confidential information and specialized training.
Do I need a lawyer to draft or review a business contract?
Business owners should seek legal representation for both creating and reviewing their contracts. A business attorney provides essential services by creating legally valid contracts that safeguard your interests while preventing future disputes which could become expensive.
