Personal guarantee or liquidated damages

Wat hierdie klousule doen

You are personally on the hook for money beyond the business.

Waarom dit jou seermaak

This reaches past the business into your personal assets. A liquidated-damages figure can exceed anything you ever earned through the agency, turning a bad contract into a life-altering debt.

Hoe 'n billike weergawe lyk

No personal guarantee. Liability capped at fees paid over the prior 12 months.

Jy kan terugstuur in woord wat jy kan stuur

Neither party shall be personally liable beyond the scope of this Agreement. Each party's aggregate liability is limited to the total fees paid in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Plak hierdie in jou antwoord. Vra vir 'n spesifieke verandering is baie doeltreffender as om hulle te vra na "s dikwels"' n klousule.
