Contract question

[dx4100]

Hi All

Im just reading through my first contract which has been drafted by the company I will be working with.

On the second page it names the parties the contract is between and it says:

Parties:

(1) The comany whose registered address is....

(2) My company whose registered address is....

(2) Me of [my address]

Is this right ? Should the contract be nameing me in this manner or should it just state my company ? Abit of a trival issue but just want to make sure everything is good. Already found one naughty clause that has to come out :P

It's a bad sign for the limited liability side of things. But we can't really say unlesss we know what rights and responsibilities are assigned to Me

Thats what I was thinking.

The contract is littered with the "consultant" agrees to...instead of my limited co agrees to....

I have changed the contract to name just company in the parties seciton and names me as a designated consultant in the "terms" section. Any clasues which suggest the "consultant" would be liable have been removed and replaced with my company

I think that should cover me, just hope the companya ccepts !

That's the idea. It's (finally!) becoming the norm for the contract not to name the consultant anywhere at all.

Your customer probably thinks that they are the customer; you personally are the supplier; and your company is just a technicality that needs to be involved for accounting purposes. You need to get them out of thinking that ASAP.
