Looking for advice on this situation. Vendor Contract Has Unlimited Indemnification - Should I Sign? Am I overthinking this?
Details: I'm in a situation where I need to understand my legal options. Has anyone dealt with something similar?
Idk but small claims court update: filed my case, hearing is in 6 weeks. The filing fee was only $75 and I don't need a lawyer. The court clerk was actually very helpful in explaining teh process. If your claim is under $10K (or $12.5K in some states), small claims is the way to go.
For freelancers: always have a clause specifying who owns the work product. Without it, the default rule varies by state. In most states, the client owns work-for-hire, but that's not universal for independent contractors.
Have you reviewed the dispute resolution clause? Many contracts require arbitration first.
+1 to this. Professional advice made all the difference for me.
