Several companies... competitors if you will, with different products or locations that work together to procure business they wouldn't get by themselves.\n\nYou might have a requisition put out by IBM to supply electical equipment for all it's locations. Being a single location company, you might ally with companies like yours across the country to be able to service the contract. Company A handles the NY locations, company B the facilities in CA, etc.

Your employer can't interfere in your personal matters, however if some matters involve direct consequences to the company in that case they are allowed to a certain extent. If your contract of service does not provide for the things you mentioned then you are not bound to do that.

Hi!\n\nIn general, contracts are 100% binding if the parties signing the contract are legally able to do so (ie: they're not impaired) and if the subject matter of the contract is not illegal.  (This is a VERY watered down overview.)\n\nThis means, however, if you have agreed to non-compete or non-solicitation language in your contract, courts are very reluctant to step into the agreement and try to figure out the intention of the parties.  As a result, language like this, while potentially harmful, is valid language.\n\nOn the non-compete side of things, though, there has also been a general reluctance to stop a person from doing the work that is their livelihood.  In otherwords, if you are a carpenter and you sign non-compete language, you will probably still be able to work as a carpenter even if this means breaking the agreement.  The test usually used is whether not performing whatever it is that you said you wouldn't perform will result in substantial harm to you.  In other words, the courts are willing to invalidate this specific language because you not working would actually potentially result in a burden on society... which outweighs the possible benefit the other party has in you not working.\n\nNon-solicitation language, on the other hand, is more flexible.  Language such as this is usually between two businesses and merely says that you will refrain from hiring employees away from the other party... and that they will refrain from hiring your employees away from you.  A good contracts person, however, will limit this language to say that this does not extend to an individual from Company A actively responding to open job postings from Company B... but will prevent Company B from directly asking that Company A employee to apply.\n\nSo, the quick answer is that non-competes are generally not favorably viewed, as they are damaging to the interests of the public, however, non-solicitation language is usually ok.\n\nGood luck!

There's not a contract as in a signed one, but in this case there is a contract under the UCC.  This is especially true since both the parties are merchants who have a good deal of knowledge on the subject at hand, however since the merchant selling the books made a counter offer (the change in shipping price) the buyer must accept the counter offer for it to become binding.  ie If they don't wish to pay $6/bk for shipping they must not take the books, otherwise they are consenting to the counter-offer.

I've been an attorney since 1993 and I've never heard the term "under letting".  In a traditional sublease, the first tenant signs a sublease for some or all of space to another tenant.  The sublessee does not have a direct contract with the owner/landlord.  The original lessee remains liable to the landlord while the sublessee pays rent to the lessee/sublessor.  Both can be evicted if the lessee fails to pay rent to the landlord.\n\nSome leases prohibit subleases, so you should check with attorney in your state before doing a sublease.

When you say "usatisfactory service, there are no two sides.  If the Principal is not getting what they expected when they empowered the Agent, they can and should retract the authority.  If the written agreement entitles the agent to a termination fee, I'd argue that it is invalidated by poor performance.  \n\nAn Agency is subject to the rules of any other contract. A does this, B does that.  Agent serves, Principal pays. If Agent doesn't serve, Principal doesn't have to pay.

SLA stands for "Service Level Agreement" and TAT stands for "Turn Around Time"\nIdeally in a service industry when the customer faces any issue pertaining to the type of service he is promised and what he pays for has to be resolved within a particular time frame . That time frame is the agreement between the Customer and the Service Provider.......this is known as the "Service Level Agreement" and TAT is the time which is actually the numerical value (eg: 7 days, 1 hour....etc) this is known as TAT or the "Turn Around Time"  and are common jargons used in the Service Sector and in a Customer Care Center

Outsourcing (or contracting out) is often defined as the delegation of non-core operations or jobs from internal production within a business to an external entity (such as a subcontractor) that specializes in that operation. Outsourcing is a business decision that is often made to lower costs or focus on competencies. A related term, offshoring, means transferring work to another country or , typically overseas. Offshoring is similar to outsourcing when companies hire overseas subcontractors, but differs when companies transfer work to the same company in another country. Outsourcing became a popular buzzword in business and management in the 1990s.

A contract between the provider and the user who specifies the level of service that is expected during its term. SLAs are used by vendors and customers as well as internally by IT shops and their end users. They can specify bandwidth availability, response times for routine and ad hoc queries, response time for problem resolution (network down, machine failure, etc.) as well as attitudes and consideration of the technical staff.\n\nSLAs can be very general or extremely detailed, including the steps taken in the event of a failure. For example, if the problem persists after 30 minutes, a supervisor is notified; after one hour, the account rep is contacted, etc.

a contract has three essential elements. CONSENT, CONSIDERATION, and OBJECT. it is a binding agreement between two or more parties to do something or not to do something. all contracts are agreements. the exception would probably be quasi-contracts. because here, there is no agreement since it is the law that creates the obligation. two of the most common quasi contracts would be negotiorum gestio and solutio indebiti. the first is under the principle that no body should enrich himself at the expense of another. for example, when your neighbor makes repairs on your house while youre away to prevent it from falling apart, then you are obliged to reimburse him for the expenses. the second would mean payment by mistake. for example when you paid mc donalds more than the actual cost of the food you ordered, they are obliged to return to you the change. i hope my answer helped.

it depends on the contract you signed.

As for your first question, under the UCC, the additional terms become part of the contract if the parties are merchants unless the offeree expressly limits acceptance to the terms of the offer, materially alters the contract or the offeree objects within 10 days. If this is the case, then the offeree has made a counter offer and there is no contract. \n\nSo if one party is not a merchant, then the additional or different terms are merely proposals and are disregarded(mean nothing). \n\nYou need to read 2-207 carefully and get a good Barbri outline.
