What Is a Breach of Contract?
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform their obligations under the terms agreed upon in a contract. This can include failing to deliver goods or services, not paying for services rendered, or even a misinterpretation of the terms. Breaches can be categorized as:
- Minor Breach: A small or insignificant failure to perform that doesn’t affect the overall agreement.
- Material Breach: A significant failure that undermines the contract’s core purpose.
- Anticipatory Breach: When one party indicates in advance they will not fulfill their obligations.
Regardless of the type of breach, it’s essential to consult with experienced attorneys like those at PM Attorneys to determine the best course of action.
