Things to consider
Unfair contract terms
Australian Consumer Law protections against unfair terms in standard form contracts apply to many small business and consumer contracts, and penalties now apply. Standard terms should be checked.
Risk and liability
Limitation of liability, indemnity and insurance clauses decide who bears the cost when something goes wrong. They deserve careful attention.
Getting out
Check the term, renewal and termination provisions, and what happens to payment and deliverables if the agreement ends early.
Common questions
Can I use a contract template?
Templates can be a starting point, but they may not fit your business, your industry or current law. A review helps make sure the document does what you need.
What if the other party won’t change their contract?
Even when terms are non-negotiable, understanding the risks helps you decide whether to proceed and how to manage those risks.
