Why a Business Owner Needs This

A contract is a risk management tool, not a formality. Before you sign, check these 7 key points.

Checklist

  1. Accurate identification of the parties and the signatories' authority.
  2. A clearly defined subject matter of the contract.
  3. Payment terms and penalties.
  4. Transfer of intellectual property rights.
  5. Limitation of liability.
  6. Confidentiality and personal data processing.
  7. Jurisdiction and the dispute resolution process.

Conclusion

This checklist is the bare minimum. If a contract's annual impact exceeds 100,000 UAH, have a lawyer review it.
