These negotiations take place to assist you in performing your daily business functions. For instance, you may use contracts when acquiring goods or providing services to other agencies. In the performance of these contracts, you will need to agree on a set of terms with another business to form a legally binding contract. Many businesses set out such terms on what is known as a term sheet. This document dictates the basic terms of a contract and is only legally binding in certain circumstances. This article will explain the situations where a term sheet is legally binding and how you could enforce its provisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is a Term Sheet?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A term sheet is an agreement made before a formal agreement to document the basic contract terms for an investment. You may also hear it referred to as a:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">head of agreement; <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">letter of intent; or <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">memorandum of understanding. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Common use cases include financial transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is a Term Sheet Legally Binding?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On its own, a term sheet is not legally enforceable. Therefore, you cannot use a term sheet as a replacement for a legally binding contract. This will be the case even if both parties have signed and have agreed to its provisions. Indeed, for a contract to be legally binding and enforceable, there must be an offer and acceptance of the contract\u2019s terms. Additionally, there must be payment for the services provided and clarity of the contract\u2019s terms. Finally, there must be an intention to create legal relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, while a <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-contracts\/understanding-term-sheets\/\">term sheet<\/a> is not usually considered a legally enforceable document, it is useful for establishing a parties\u2019 intent to create an enforceable agreement. By setting out the main obligations of an agreement in a term sheet, you can prove that both parties agreed to form legal relationships. However, there are some circumstances where the provisions of a term sheet may impose legally binding obligations on a contracting party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n

It is always wise to look out for the wording in a term sheet to establish when or if it might be legally binding. For example, if the letter starts with the phrase \u2018subject to contract and without prejudice\u2019 or \u2018subject to contract\u2019, that will typically mean that the term sheet is not legally binding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a business, you will come across the following four <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-lease-property\/key-provisions-heads-of-terms\/\">legally enforceable provisions<\/a> in a term sheet that you must adhere to. Those include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">provisions on exclusivity;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">provisions on confidentiality;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">negotiation terms; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">closing costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Provisions on Exclusivity<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exclusivity is an important part of most business dealings. It essentially means that you will contract solely with the other entity included in the agreement that is being formed. Exclusivity prevents you from, for example, looking to transact with other agencies who might buy your products. Additionally, exclusivity may prevent you from transacting with businesses that may become competitors with the party you have originally agreed to do dealings with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/disputes-litigation\/options-breach-of-contract\/\">breach an exclusivity clause<\/a>, the other party can take legal action against you. For example, you may be bound by an exclusivity clause in a term sheet to only trade with party Y when it comes to selling apples. So, if you sell apples to party X, you may be in breach of the exclusivity term in your term sheet and could become open to legal action.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Confidentiality Provisions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Disclosing <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/regulatory-compliance\/sensitive-data-information\/\">commercially sensitive business information<\/a> can come with big ramifications. Especially when negotiating a contract, a term sheet may include provisions that prevent you from disclosing the nature of the agreement you are working on to a third party. Moreover, the term sheet may also prohibit the disclosure of any the financials relating to that business transaction. This is particularly important in financial transactions that occur on the stock market. Indeed, this is because possessing certain confidential information can allow you to take advantage of a market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Closing Costs\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Terms relating to the closing costs can allow one party to enforce another to pay specific fees. For example, a term sheet might mandate that one party pays the legal fees and administration fees associated with a financial transaction. These terms are binding, and a contract will be invalid if one party does not pay the closing costs outlined in a term sheet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Negotiation Terms\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A negotiation term requires parties to negotiate in good faith. This means that any entity negotiating on the terms of the transaction must at least attempt to negotiate with other parties before they walk away from the negotiation table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before a business enters into a legally binding contract, it is important to set out a term sheet that will detail the main terms to be included in that contract.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Term sheets are not legally binding but may include specific provisions that impose legally enforceable obligations on parties to that agreement. Those terms can include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">provisions on exclusivity;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">provisions on confidentiality;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">negotiation terms; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">closing costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is also advisable to get a lawyer\u2019s advice if you\u2019re looking to draft a term sheet.
