BEFORE YOU SIGN – KNOW WHAT YOU ARE AGREEING TO!

Signing a contract without fully understanding its terms can have significant consequences. The principle of caveat subscriptor holds that a person who signs a document is generally bound by its terms, even if they did not read or understand them. However, exceptions may apply if the other party misled the signatory or failed to highlight unusual or unexpected clauses. It is crucial to carefully review all terms and seek clarification where necessary to avoid unintended obligations.

A signature is a promise in law.

Once the ink dries, your rights are set – whether you understood them or not. Don’t gamble with clauses.

Know what you’re agreeing to, before you’re bound by it.

10 minutes with your attorney can save 10 months in court.
