Take care in drafting your small business contracts
Are your small business contracts ‘fair’?
With the ACCC cracking down on the newly-extended unfair contract term laws that now apply to standard form small business contracts, it is more important than ever to consider the fairness of their contracts with small businesses to ensure that the terms of the contract are enforceable.
In a previous article, we mentioned that a number of terms in waste management company, JJ Richards & Sons Pty Ltd’s small business contracts were declared void. The ACCC has since commenced proceedings against Servcorp Ltd, a serviced office space provider, alleging that 19 terms in its agreements with small business clients are unfair.
