Frequently Asked Questions
A commercial contract can be:
- A verbal agreement
- An implied agreement
- A written agreement
All the above types of contract can be legally binding as there is no legal requirement for a commercial contract to be in writing. However, we strongly recommend that your commercial contracts are in writing to reduce the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Although you may be tempted to use an ‘off the shelf’ agreement it’s important that any contract meets your specific business needs rather than using standard wording that may end up costing your business money. That is because a standard contract probably won’t reflect what you need in your contract.
The extent of the advice that your business needs on a new commercial contract will very much depend on the nature of the contract. If you enter into one type of contract frequently with different third parties it is still advisable to get us to periodically check the terms to ensure the contract remains fit for purpose and there haven’t been any legislative or other developments that mean it should be revised.
When it comes to commercial contracts an experienced drafting contract drafting expert can advise you on:
- The process of entering into a commercial contracts
- Negotiating the key terms of the contract
- Drafting the contract
- Reviewing and assessing a contract submitted to you by the other party to the contract
- Amending or changing a contract
- Considering if your business or the other party has the right to terminate the contract and the consequences of doing so
- The consequences of a breach of contract and the legal remedies
- Resolving contract disputes
Any business can change or update a commercial contract provided that the other party agrees to the contract being amended. If they won’t agree to change the contract then it is a case of looking at the agreed terms.
When you are considering varying or amending an existing contract it is best to check if there is a clause in the contract that sets out how the contract can be varied and how the amendment should be evidenced. Normally any amendment to the contract has to be in writing.
Any notice to terminate a contract must take account of:
- Any express terms about termination in the contract.
- Any common law grounds for termination that aren’t excluded in the contract.
- The risks of wrongful termination if you don’t use the correct ground or follow the right process.
- Where notice periods are not specified in the contract, what would count as ‘reasonable’ notice.
If you decide on the DIY route, how will you prepare the contract? Will you base it one you have entered into previously? If so, is that from a competitor or a customer or supplier? Will you obtain a template from the internet, or will you write it yourself? The answer will probably be a combination of two or more of these possibilities. But what might be the risk to your business?
If you download a template, this will be a case of one size trying to fit all. Your business is unique and so are your important contracts with suppliers and customers. There’s really no such thing as a ‘standard agreement’ and, although these are certainly better than nothing, they won’t give you the security and confidence you need. Whenever things go wrong in business relationships, the first thing everyone looks at is the contract. You need to be certain that it addresses all the things that could go wrong in your business relationship and what you want to happen if they do. It’s unlikely that a general template document will do this.
