• A contract is an agreement between you and your agency.

• A contract should represent the expectations and obligations of all parties.

• You want a “meeting” of minds, otherwise no go!

• Read your travel contract carefully.

• Clarify or change any problematic clauses.

• Watch out for and understand the implications of non-compete clauses.

• Avoid signing contracts with at-will language.

• Don’t sign unless you are reasonably happy with the details.

• Plan to uphold your side of the agreement, just as you expect your agency to do.

• It is far better to prevent problems before a contract starts.

• Use the Association legal resources if a problem does occur.
