Contracts

If I signed a contact with a construction company and in their own contract one of the terms is they collect 10% upon signing and do not do so - did they breach the terms of their own contract?

How long must I give a contractor to finish a job he has started and warranty work to also be redone? I hired a contractor to redo two bathrooms for me. He finished the first and rework has been done and more needs to be done and he has been paid for this one. The second one he has completed but also has rework that needs to be redone. He has not asked for payment on the second one nor have we heard from him in almost two months. He has on two occasions suppose to have come by to look at it but he is also now telling me he thinks the house has structure problems and that is why he is having so much rework. The two occasions he was to come by and look at it was for the so called structure problems. I did get a hold of him again yesterday only after leaving a msg that i needed closure on this and what was his intentions since I have not heard from him in almost two months and did i need to hire another contractor and send him the bill or did I need to go other legal ways. I DO NOT feel comfortable with this contractor anymore.

I have a business to business service agreement with Brinks Security for a cash pick up/safe rental service. We have used the service for about 2.5 years. I want out of the contract. They want a hefty termination fee.The agreement was signed in our DBA name. We currently are no longer operating under that DBA name. The contract was also signed prior to our LLC even being established by law. I signed the agreement prior to becoming a legal member of the LLC. The 100% member at the time did not sign. Would the contract be null and void based on the above conditions?

I own a check cashing business, I would like a Employee contract, that holds the Employee responsible for her cash drawer being short and that if The Owner and Manager cannot find that money he or she has to pay it back to the company.

I have a furniture store, a customer purchased about $8,000 in furniture and has not paid the bill. I just found out that he has died. His family has given us permission to take back the furniture and are willing to sign a document allowing it but they have an under aged child that cannot sign. The building that this is in is rented and the landlord will not allow me to get the furniture without the proper documents. His fear is that the family can come back on him and make him liable for the unpaid furniture. Is there a document that I can write to the landlord to guarantee that if the family ever does comes back to claim the furniture that he is not liable?
