Critical — do not sign

Personal guarantee or liquidated damages

O que fai esta cláusula

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

Por que che doe?

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.

Como se ve unha versión xusta

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

Texto que pode enviar de volta

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.

Apegue isto na súa resposta. Pedir unha modificación específica é moito máis efectivo que pedirlles que "ablanden" unha cláusula.
