legal tips for businesses collaborating on a project
clearly consider what you want the collaboration to achieve. before entering into a collaboration agreement work out exactly what it is you want to achieve through the collaboration with the other party. once you’ve determined your key objectives, make sure to communicate these to the other party and negotiate with them about the terms of your agreement. remember that you can always ask a lawyer if you require assistance with this.
consider what each party’s maximum liability under the agreement will be
there is no set amount that you should limit liability to, however, the limit must be reasonable and should take into account:
-
the sort of goods and/or services being provided
-
the goods’ and/or services’ potential to cause loss and damage
-
what is common in the relevant marketplace
understand when to seek legal advice
while it’s always a good idea to have your collaboration agreement reviewed by a lawyer, there are certain circumstances in which you should seek specific advice. ask a lawyer for advice if:

-
identify who has rights to the finished product or service
for more information, read collaboration agreements.
-
-
what are the benefits of collaborating with another party?
a collaboration allows both parties to benefit from the expertise that each can offer. it can be a useful strategy when one business wants to enter a new market or launch a new product or service. by cooperating and working together both businesses can share resources, risks and rewards.
-
what are charges?
a charge is a fee in relation to the project collaborated on under the collaboration agreement. either party may be charged a certain amount in connection with the collaboration. this means that one party may have to pay the other for any resources (eg equipment, materials or licences). for example, if one party is providing staff to work on the project, the other party may have to pay for the staff members.
details relating to charges are set out in the project schedule. for example, the schedule sets out that charges become payable after receipt of an invoice.
-
what is the 'focus' of the agreement?
the 'focus' of the collaboration is the overall goal of the collaboration. this is not the same as the actual project that the parties are collaborating on. for example, the overall goal of the collaboration may be to combine expertise on the development and design of software. whereas the actual project could be the development of a specific piece of software.
-
what are the contributions?
the contributions relate to the actual resources the parties will contribute towards the collaboration. this can be services, resources, manpower (ie staff), software or other tangible assets provided in the course of the collaboration.
-
what is a non-solicitation clause?
a non-solicitation clause is a type of restrictive covenant that is generally used to prevent a business from approaching another business:
-
customers in a bid to win their custom
-
staff in a bid to entice them away from the other business and engage them
for more information, read non-solicitation and restrictive covenants.
-
-
what are warranties?
warranties are a statement of fact, or promises, that each party gives to assure the other that certain conditions are true. for example, a warranty stating that the parties entering into the collaboration agreement is not infringing any third party intellectual property rights. if this statement of facts turns out to be untrue, then the party in breach can be liable for damages.
-
what is a project schedule?
the project schedule is a separate agreement under the collaboration agreement for the parties to agree on specific projects or tasks. the project schedule outlines details relating to a specific project carried out under the wider collaboration agreement. project schedules usually contain:
-
a description of a specific project
-
each party’s contributions to the project
-
any charges payable
-
any information being exchanged that is considered confidential
the project schedule is designed to be in print when and if the parties agree to the specifics of a project schedule to avoid any ambiguity or conflict. this will often be after the main collaboration agreement is signed.
-
-
are intellectual property rights covered?
all intellectual property rights created or developed by a party while working on a project governed by the collaboration agreement are owned by that party. during the duration of the respective project, each party grants the other a licence to use their intellectual property rights. this is to allow them to carry out their respective obligations with regard to the project.
at the end of the project period (ie when the project comes to an end), a party licenced to use the other’s intellectual property rights should immediately stop doing so.
