It is the mother's parental right to make any new boyfriend's life hell.  Now, what age were you when you signed it?  If you were under age, then technically no, it can't be legal.  I don't know the age at which she/you are considered adults in your own community.  When she turns 18, will she be living at home or move out?  If she lives at home, mom's/dad's house rules apply.  OR, maybe certain terms can be negotiated with her parents.  Good Luck!

I found this information on a web site.  It doesn't specify 5 elements, but it does specify 'necessary' elements for a binding contract.  However, you should always have a lawyer read over any contract to ensure that it is actually binding and proper before anyone signs and agrees to it.\n\n"Not every agreement between parties is binding in a court of law.  In order to be enforceable, contracts require the following elements:\n\n    * Mutual Assent – this means that the parties involved have a shared understanding as to what the contract covers.  For example, in a contract involving a “model,” if one party thinks the contract is for a model car and the other thinks it’s for a supermodel, there is no mutual consent and the contract probably will not be enforceable.\n    * Offer and Acceptance – One party must make an offer, or a communication of the intent to be bound by a contract.  The other party must accept, or assent to the terms offered.  See also alternatives to acceptance.\n    * Consideration – the mutual exchange of something of value.  Note that even though there may be no mutual consideration, there are rare cases where a mere one-sided promise can be enforced.  See detrimental reliance."\n\nThere's more on the web page... the above is just an excerpt.

just make sure it is a bilateral contract, and NOT a unilateral contract. make sure the terms are expressely stated in the contract. in order to have a waiver, there must be an intentional and voluntary abandonment or relinquishment of a known right, claim or privilige....HIS LIFE!!! make sure he knows this so he can't raise a CLAIM OF MISTAKE!!!! go for it, just CYA!!!! good luck!!!

That depends on what the option to purchase agreement says. As well as any agreement you may have with any agent. You had better start reading.

How about a sales/purchase agreement?\n\nThis document defines the parties, price and terms, what is included and excluded, assignment of lease(s), representations and warranties, time, date and location of closing, allocation of purchase price, responsibilities for taxes and fees, etc.\n\nIt is essential for you to have one.\n\nMichael Casey CPA\nBusiness Consultant\n608-271-0068

Read your contract for a clause that explains how you can get our of it.  Also, get advice from an attorney - show him your contract.  Good luck!

To answer the question you'd have to know more: \n1) what does the contract say?  Ordinarily it would contain a paragraph stating that the contract contains the full understanding between the parties, etc.\n2) what law applies - this, too, may be specified in the agreement.

the needed papers/license to build something like that.\n\nThe construction should be checked also before building (strong enough etc)

A contract is an agreement. If the agreement changes after its typed and BOTH parties agree, then its binding. Any changes needs to be initialed or signed AT THE POINT OF THE CHANGE. \nUsing your example, both parties agree that a provision typed in a contract needs to be eliminated. Draw a single line through the statement and ALL parties that sign the contract initial and date, ON ALL COPIES OF THE CONTRACT. All copies should have "wet" signatures or initials. A wet signature is one that is obvious it was done with a pen, not a copy. If you have a copy that has a change and the other party also has a copy that does not have a change, it would not take too much to convince a judge that you changed the contract and attempted to forge the other parties signature. You need to show there was, at one time, an agreement between all parties of the change. \n\nWithout something very close to what is described above, you may have a problem.

Will the party requesting the estimate share any historical data with you?\n\nIf it's a legitimate RFP you should be able to get some guidance as to what their previous contract was, what they have budgeted, what their expectqations are or who held the contract previously.\n\nIf it's all brand new, you need to bid a number you can live with if you win the contract, even if that makes you high bidder.  Look carefully at the criteria you are being asked to use to find these sites and how much time you think you will need on average to complete the search.  Then take the hourly wage you want to earn and do the math.\n\nRemeber bad business is bad business...\nThere's no point winning a contract you can't afford to fulfill.

I believe it depends on what is written in your contract.  I recommend asking a professional (i.e. attorney).

First, I am NOT a lawyer....However, in my career I have dealt with creating and becoming party to contracts on several occasions.  Here are some of the things I have learned:\n\n1.) Contracts CONCEPTUALLY should be a two way benefit for both/all parties involved. A contract HIGHLY 'loaded' for benefit of one party is probably illegal, and would be hard to defend in court.\n\n2.) It is assumed, although not always clearly stated, that the contract is entered into willingly and with good intent for all signors. If there is reason to believe one or the other parties was 'co-erced' or ' manipulated' into signing the document, the contract probably will not stand up in court.\n\n3.) ANY contract is only as valid and strong as the skills and dedication of your lawyer...\n\nHope this helps....
