Hypothetical question

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

influencer contract unfair terms. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 5 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $140,000.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the implied covenant of good faith. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct commercially reasonable.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

Here's where people usually go wrong is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. But honestly you should verify this with someone who knows your state's laws.

Check if there's a choice of law provision. That determines which state's law applies.
