What Is a Breach of Contract?
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their legal obligations under the terms of a valid agreement. This breach can take many forms, including:
- Failure to Perform: One party does not deliver goods, services, or payments as agreed.
- Substandard Performance: Delivering goods or services that do not meet the contract’s quality or standards.
- Late Performance: Failing to meet the deadlines specified in the contract.
- Anticipatory Breach: Indicating, before the performance is due, that one party will not fulfill their obligations.
If you believe a breach has occurred, consulting with a knowledgeable breach of contract attorney can help protect your rights and interests.
