Legal Templates For Marketers FAQs
What do I do when a client doesn’t pay me? Can I recover late fees if a client fails to pay me?
It’s important to have smart policies in place to encourage both a good relationship with your client but also an avenue to recover if they need some nudging. We typically recommend some payment up front with your agreement being back by a prevailing party clause.
What’s the way to handle termination policies?
This can vary based on your personal preferences. Some people like to make it easy for either party to terminate and some people like to be sure they can get paid for several more months as expected. The latter requires careful writing to make sure it’s enforceable.
What’s the best way to avoid a problem with clients?
Prevent it. We like to start clients off with the right expectations. This avoids a massive amount of disputes. This way you will know if a client is a right fit for your process before you even get started.
How do I protect my content and strategies for marketing?
Your best route to protect your work from clients will be in your agreement with them. Include smart clauses that make sure they do not have permission to reuse or misappropriate your work.
Can I protect my team of contractors and/or employees from getting poached?
Great question and an important one as your company grows. You may have an employee or independent contractor working primarily on a project with a client. For example, you may have your videographer that you use or SEO specialist talk directly with the client. Here is where you want to prevent your company from being cut out of the relationship by using a nonsolicitation clause. It’s a simple and enforceable clause that just states that clients will not solicit to hire your contractors or employees.
What will my clients think if I ask them to sign an agreement?
That you’re a professional that does everything from design to business top notch. People are not offended by agreements; instead, it speaks to your professionalism.
