Know the basics
Contracts law 101
Contracts are everywhere — loan agreements, service agreements, partnership papers, supplier terms, sales agreements and the fine print behind the services you use. Each one sets out who does what, who pays, and what happens when things go wrong.
Reviewing a contract before signing is far easier than disputing it afterwards. RPAI members can have important documents reviewed and receive guidance on risky clauses, missing protections and their options.
