Business contracts: what to check before signing
A practical checklist for reviewing an agreement before committing to it.
Check the essentials
Confirm the parties, obligations, price and payment terms, duration, renewal, termination, confidentiality, intellectual property, dispute resolution, liability and indemnity clauses.
Before signing
If a clause is unclear or creates an obligation you do not understand, obtain advice before signing. Contract wording can materially affect a business’s rights and obligations.
Important: This is general information, not legal advice. Laws, procedures and deadlines can change, and the facts of an individual matter must be considered.
