For breach of contract, you get time to cure b/c you don’t want the relationship  to just go away so you give the party in breach of K time to make things right

When drafting a contract, what should you always ask the client regarding automatic outs?

Why?

Always ask client if you want to to get an automatic out of a K in case they client ever things they want to change their mind and get out of K. Always ask clt this. “do we need an automatic out.”

a stmnt other party is making that is inducing the pty to enter into the contract (i.e. I will perform in a professional manner)- you represent why you are entering into the contract

During the term of the K you will warrant all this stuff (i.e. if they don’t send professional folks, then that would be breach of k)

I.e. you make sure that you put in the provisions that the vendor with whom your are contracting must send professionals to your job-site. Failure to do so would constitute breach of the contract?

Brackets [] mean that you either include it in a k or don’t include in k if it fits with the situation.

If people are not going to be supervised while on your presmises, Good idea to have people who are coming into building have a background check done- good thing to include into contract.

Also have financial background check to keep financial stuff up.

Indmenification- when you pay a judgment on someone else’s behalf when it was their fault, you can imdeminify them to get the $$ back. So for example, if your partner causes a law suit for breach of k and you loose money, then you can get them to imdemnify you

to get your money back.

Force majeure clause basically says that you are not liable for any delays in a contract if something like war, terrorism, etc. causes a delay, you can’t sue over it. Basically if it’s out of the person’s control, you can’t sue them for it
