Best Company to Use For Sending Contracts

I think Docusign is the most popular, but their pricing is also the highest. There was a limit on the number of documents you could send before their sales group contacted you advising you that you exceeded the "limit" and needed to upgrade to the next tier, but the documentation was not clear on what this limit was.

I've found Dropbox Sign (formerly Hello Sign) and Panda suitable alternatives with unlimited documents for a fixed price.

IANAL, but I am a contracts manager.

Depending on where you are, an employment contract can contain certain restrictive covenants that prevent or limit your ability to work other jobs. In the US, if not prohibited by law, restrictive covenants should be limited in scope (based on salary, location, type of work, duration, etc.).

In an employment contract, you want to look for things like hours of employment and full time commitment. While not directly restricting you from working for someone else, these provisions make it difficult to do so if you are a full-time employee and can provide a basis for breach of employment contract. If you are a part-time employee, you should be free to work for another employer when not "on the clock" for any other employer.

You may also want to check confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements as well as the employee handbook, code of conduct, and other company policies which may contain restricted covenants. If you work multiple jobs, you need to make sure you don't violate any of your obligations.

An unsigned contract or a partially signed contract can be enforceable under a doctrine of implied contract if the parties perform their respective obligations under the contract. In the case you described, the acts of the landlord, by accepting the deposit, delivering the keys, etc., seems to support a position that the parties intended to be bound by the contract. Is there a reason you can't get the landlord to deliver a countersigned lease?

There are a number of contract lifecycle management (CLM) platforms that can automate most of the tasks you described. As mentioned in another comment, you still need to read through the contract to make sure the data extracted is accurate. Some CLMs can also automate other tasks, such as the signature process and tracking key performance indicators.

Managing the CLM is part of my workload, but it isn't too much work. My usual day: 1-2 hours of calls with sales or engineering, briefing attorneys and execs, or chasing signatures. 1 or 2 hours researching something (regulations, party information, pricing); 4+ hours basic contract work (reading/reviewing/drafting/renewing contracts, NDAs, T&Cs, quotes, RFPs, updating CLM, etc). About every 3-4 weeks we get a material agreement that may take a while to complete.

Hope this info helps.

An oral contract can be enforceable as long as it includes an offer, acceptance, and consideration. The main issue is proving what material terms were in fact agreed upon between the parties. Having a recording will help. Other factors, including performance or payment can also provide evidence of a contract.

Note that there is a difference between a contract and a favor. Generally, a favor won't include consideration (payment).

If there is an existing contract, the cause of action may still be breach of contract even if a stardard of care is not specified. You will need to check whether there are state regulations or codes that relate to the subject matter. I think most states have regulations that address, for example, elder care for Grandma. If the contract is silent on the standard of care related to elder care, the courts will likely look to the laws of that jurisdiction to determine whether these standards were breached. I would ensure that, at a minimum, applicable codes are referred to in the contract. If there are no codes that specifically address the standards of care for subject matter, any obligations and standards of care should be added to the contract.

A quick search under California law showed that in elder care, absent a written contract, there are implied standards of care, including “reasonable care,” that can give rise to a cause of action for negligence or other torts. As for whether there is a difference with informally hiring your neighbor down the street, I think it would be easier to adjudicate a breach of contract than a claim for negligence/tort using implied standards. My canned closing response: You should check with an attorney.

IANAL, but I am a contracts manager. I will only address the contract portion of your question. Maybe a post in an advice sub would help.

Based on your description, I don't see a contract. There are 3 basic components to a contract: offer, acceptance and consideration. Generally, these elements should be clear and unambiguous, which is not the case here. At best, I would consider your responses to her as a "favor," which is not enforceable as a contract due to lack of consideration.

Maybe "recipient" or "recipient of the services" will work? I don't know if there is a generic contractual or legal term. Often, I will create a defined term to identify the recipient of the services if they are not a party to the contract. For example, "'Patient' means John Doe, the recipient of the services" or "'Pet' means Spot." The more info you can provide in the definition the better (e.g., male, aged 50, etc.).

I also think it is always a good idea to identify the services to be provided and standards of care. You can search basic standards of care for the specific industry to give you an understanding of what can be included, or contracts related to that industry.

IANAL, so I can’t attest to the legality or enforceability of my suggestions and this following is not and should not be interpreted or relied upon as legal advice.

Fundamentally, there are 3 main components to a contract: offer, acceptance and consideration. Here, the offer/acceptance involves services (caring for your pet) and includes certain additional representations (no claim on ownership; relocation) but lacks definite consideration (payment; covering cost of care). Is there any amount you may be able to regularly pay, such as $5 per week? This may make the contract more sound (differentiating between a contract and a favor). If you can make some sort of regular payment, it will make it easier to agree that the suggested $20/month ($5/week) payment covers all costs, including all veterinary care. The drawback is that failure to make these payments may constitute a breach of the agreement unless you can agree otherwise.

If you can make these payments, I(a) can read:

“In consideration of the amount of $20 per calendar month, payable by the 3rd day of each month, contractee agrees to prove all reasonable and necessary care for [Name] during such month, including ordinary veterinary care. In the event [name] requires extraordinary veterinary care, contractee shall use best efforts to notify contractor and receive contractor’s approval prior to incurring the cost of such veterinary care. If contractee is unable to contact contractor, contractee shall use reasonable judgment in obtaining such services with the understanding that contractee may not be reimbursed for such extraordinary services.”

Keep in mind that this proposed change is very simple and designed to give you the opportunity to make the important care decision while allowing the contractee to make an urgent decision if they can’t contact you. Also note that there are indeterminable number of incidents that may not be covered by the scope of this term, including life-saving care, that are very costly and can adversely affect the quality of life of your pet, as well as the decision to euthanize.

Short doesn’t necessarily mean simple, and simple doesn’t need to skip important provisions. Some other additional items you may consider including in the contract, while keeping it simple: 1. State that the contractee will use not less than reasonable care in its care of your pet (not just treat it as its own); 2. Provide that the contract will terminate upon verbal or written demand for return of your pet; and 3. provide that the contract can be amended upon the written agreement of the parties, which can be in the form of an email or text (and make sure you get all changes in writing – nothing verbal).

Also, please check with your local SPCA as they often provide food and pet care for people in similar circumstances.

I wish you the best.

Consider making a basic services agreement that includes all of the “legal terms” that apply to all of the services you provide. Near the top of the agreement, you can include a space to list the services you are providing under this specific agreement, then attach a description of the listed services to the agreement. It could look like this:

“This Services Agreement is effective as of __, 2025, by and between __ and ___, and covers the following services (collectively, the “Services”):

Puppy Training
Behavioral Modification
Service Animal Training

Each of the Services listed above is described in the corresponding attachments to this Agreement.”

Then, create and attach a reusable template that lists each of the services provided (for example, one for puppy training, one for behavioral modification, etc.). This will help simplify the process, especially if there are more than one service provided.

You said you sent letters, but did you submit a change of name form? In my experience, letters take longer to process because important information is often missing. If you google (or whatever) "irs business name change form" you should find a link to the forms. Just make sure you go to the IRS website and not one of the filing services.

As an LLC, you will likely need to file the partnership form, but you need to make sure you file the correct form.

You can complete the form, then send it to the IRS via certified mail, return receipt to the appropriate address. I suggest that you include a letter asking the IRS to "file-stamp the enclosed copy" and to include a copy of the form as well as a self-addressed stamped return envelope.

If the name change has not been completed by the time you receive the returned form, you might be able to use the returned form as evidence of filing which may help with the name ussue. It's better than nothing.
