cancellation of a company contract (b2b)

    Good Day,

    I am working as a business lawyer for a company outside the EU. My company has signed a three years agreement with an european company that provides service regarding marketing and advertising. However within the first year we have recognized that their service does not provide any benefit for our company and we therefore are looking to cancel the contract before its due. The Order contained references to the Order Terms posted by the counterparty on its website, including the terms on the impossibility of early termination of the Order. At the time of signing the Order, these terms could not be adjusted, despite the fact that they are essential terms.We have requested an early termination that was unfortunately unsuccessful. The Order is governed by the norms of Irish law. How can I terminate thecontract early without paying for the service for the next 2 years?

    I hope someone might be able to help me since I do not posess any knowledge on irish law.

    Thanks in advance!

    Most likely some form of company that over promises and rarely delivers.

    Then they scare the customer into continuing to pay.

    Pass the details onto a solicitor here or contact a barrister Directly for an opinion (now permitted)

    My guess is that the best solution is to stop paying and let them know you will be defending any legal action and ensuring maximum publicity to prevent other companies falling for their service.

    To lock someone in for 3 years without a termination clause could be considered as unfair.

    Well its a very big and well known company and they do provide proper service. Its just that we have found it to be of no real use for the growth of our company.

    A “business lawyer” is coming on to an internet forum of random stranger to ask them for legal advice ….. seriously?
