Freight Forwarding & Clearing Business Sectors
Freight Forwarding companies have a very technical legal relationship with their customers. Although they provide credit to their customers, they also operate as an agent of their customer (principal). The agency relationship gives rise to very particular risks, making it vitally important that the freight forwarders controls risks in its terms and conditions. Of course, it remains important to also cover the typical risks associated with the granting of credit.

Manufacturing
Manufacturing is prone to unexpected delays: your supplier drops you, your machinery breaks, you suffer industrial action, your transporter has a breakdown. Worse still your customer orders the wrong product. It is vital that you cover the risks and ensure that you are not liable for delays, shortages, stoppages and most importantly, for consequential losses. Add in comprehensive credit terms and you are sorted.
If you are intending to outsource your manufacturing to a third party, we also have a contract that will suit your requirements.

Property
An agreement to buy and sell immovable property must be in writing in order to be valid. Our online contract guides you through the relevant building blocks of a fair sale agreement.

Services
Service related contracts cover a broad spectrum of industries, from maintenance contracts, to professional services & other service related industries. Generally, if you are in the service industry, you are selling time which is in limited supply. So, make sure that you define the services, and that you get paid! Our Contract Lawyers have got you covered.

Software Dev & Design Services
Whether you are a software developer or a client, navigating the complex field of intellectual property rights is tricky. Often parties engage and start development or design work either without any contract at all, or with a loose contract that doesn't define when and how the intellectual property rights transfer, what stages payment will be made, the duration of warranty periods, etc.

Trading
So you buy and sell products. Even as the proverbial middle man, you can easily be caught short. Your supplier is perhaps overseas and you aren't covered for delays beyond your control. What about your customer's expectations regarding warranties? Do they match those that your supplier provides you with? Proper credit terms are also vital in ensuring that you aren't footing the bill to your supplier while your customer drags you along (eroding your margins along the way).

Transportation of Goods
If a transporter's terms and conditions do not specifically exclude them as a "common carrier" the transporter is liable for loss or damage to goods whilst the goods are under their control. Kind of makes the transporter an insurer of sorts. The transporters terms and conditions need to regulate risk, insurance, loading requirements, delays, etc. In addition, if credit is granted, it is important to ensure that the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed.

Stuff you need to know
1Shareholders Agreements can be impacted by the NCA.
If a shareholder is a natural person, as opposed to a company, trust or CC, a Shareholders Agreement often provides for deemed sales upon the happening of certain events (insolvency, death, breach, etc). Now if the agreement provides for deferred payment of the purchase price, and for interest to be paid on the transaction, it will be a credit agreement under the NCA. If the seller is not a registered credit provider, the buy-sell agreement will be void.
The Contractzone Shareholders Agreement is drafted by our expert Contract Lawyers.
2Protect your Company against Bank Fraud.
Bank fraud is a serious problem. We believe that it is important that terms and conditions make it clear that your customers cannot just accept that banking details have changed. They must take responsibility for verifying apparent changes in banking details, failing which, they are at risk (even if the email appears in all respects to be the correct email address).
Our Contract Lawyers have ensured that your customer takes responsibility for verifying "changes" in banking details.
3The National Credit Act, 2005 has limited application in B2B transactions.
If your customer is an incorporated entity and has either an asset value or a turnover above R1million, the contract is not governed by the National Credit Act. Importantly, the National Credit Act provides for a declaration made by a customer to be binding. So, make sure that your credit application form includes a declaration of asset value and turnover. We prefer a simple tick box. It can save you a lot of trouble if you end up in legal proceedings.
Our Contract Lawyers have drafted our Credit Application Forms & Terms and Conditions to cover all bases.
4Your Software Developer typically copyright in work produced for your business.
It is often a sober reality for companies that appoint third party developers to find that they don't necessarily own their own code, even though they paid for it. This makes the terms and conditions of a contract to appoint a software developer critical. It is important to find the balance between pre-existing code used by the developer and new code written for a project
Our Contract Lawyers have the right document to protect your rights.
5You can limit Liability for Consequential Losses even if caused by Gross Negligence.
Clauses that limit liability are interpreted by South African courts restrictively. This makes it very important that these clauses are carefully formulated. You don't know just how important these clauses are until you end up in litigation.
