Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Re: Contracts

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

It depends on what the error is. If the error is material and makes it so the contract was never truly agreed upon between the parties, it can be argued that there was never a "meeting of the minds" and thus the contract is unenforceable. If the error is not of a substantial nature, many contracts also contain a provision that states that if a clause is unenforceable it will be stricken and then the remainder of the contract will remain valid. You should meet with an attorney to have the contract reviewed, and then the attorney can provide advice on your legal rights and remedies.
