Contracts and agreements are a crucial part of any business and as such need to be created by an experienced commercial lawyer.
A business contract is a legally binding written agreement between two or more parties and gives each party the opportunity to:
- Specify all obligations they are expected to fulfil
- Describe all obligations the other party/parties are expected to fulfil
- Clearly set out the responsibilities and risks of the parties
- Limitation of any liabilities
- Set a time frame in which the terms of the contract will be met
- Specify payment terms
- Establish terms of sale, lease or rental
- Determine the terms required for each party to end the contract if necessary.
