Personal guarantee or liquidated damages

Ko te mea e mahi ai tēnei waehere

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

He aha te take i pā ai ki a koe

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.

He aha te āhua o te putanga tika

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

Ka taea e koe te tuku i te kupu

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.
