District32 Experts Webinar – Shields for Success Part 2 – ACL, Indemnities and IP- with Juan Perez
February 28 @ 4:00 pm - 4:30 pm AWST
Build ‘Shields for Success’ for your business in 2024. Part 1 of this series covered reducing the risk of previous employees stealing your customers, how to stop competitors riding on your good will by stealing your brand identity and how to protect your business if one of your customers or suppliers go bust. Part 2 of this series will focus on two other key areas businesses need to be aware of relating to unfair contract terms (and the expensive penalties for breaching the ACL), how to protect your business using indemnity clauses, as well as delving deeper into the world of Intellectual Property, which is your business’ biggest asset.
Key learnings from this webinar are:
✅Australian Consumer Law (ACL) rules on unfair contract terms – recent amendments to ACL introduced significant penalties on businesses that have unfair contract terms in their standard form agreements. Learn how to spot unfair contract terms and re-draft your agreements to ensure your business is properly shielded for success, without being unfair;
✅Indemnities – indemnity clauses can be used to reduce your liability under an agreement. Learn about what they are and how you can include one in your agreements to protect and reduce your businesses liability; and
✅Intellectual Property (IP) – your business’ IP is in everything you do. See real-life examples of IP infringements so you can learn what types of IP your business has and how you can protect it.
