InclinedPlane on June 17, parent prev next [—]. You think that will fly in court? A contract is an agreement between two parties. If there are provisions in the contract known only to one party that renders it potentially invalid, because the other didn't agree to it. Agree to what? The contract isn't signed, it is returned with the offending parts stricken. That's pretty silly. Just quit if that's how you feel. Lawtonfogle on June 17, root parent [—].
Just strike out the parts you don't agree with if that's how you feel. Is there a reason why one should quit instead of negotiating the contract while also letting them know you are offended by their initial offer?
Of course, if my current employer pushed something like that on me, I would be starting to look around. If anything, quitting is likely worse than being let go because you likely have less of a claim with regards to unemployment a lawyer would need to specify the actual details.

Lawtonfogle on June 17, root parent next [—] Agree to what? I'm negotiating changes to a contract. We have agreed on the changes by me emailing scans of the contract with lines through the contract, strike-outs.
I got back all the changes I requested in a document that has my strikeouts intact using the strike-out font. I am thinking that I can't really sign a contract full of strike-outs.
Or can I? Sure it isn't that track changes is on and you need to accept the changes and sign the document if everything appears to be in order? Track changes is not on. And of course the solution is to ask for a copy with no strike-outs on it. But what if you sign the contract and it goes to court for some reason? Will the court go with the intent of removing the text?
Kind of curious. IANAL and don't deal with contracts but I believe that if it is initialed by both parties it would be fine. The reason for the initialing is so that later one party can't come back and say it was struck out after signing. If it bothers you you could always ask for a fresh copy with the changes made in. Both parties need to initial the strikeouts, at least that how my lawyer has handled in the past.
Examples of material alterations include:. In most cases, the intention behind any contract alteration is not important. However, if the modification was made with the intent of one party to defraud the other, the contract is considered invalid and the damaged party may seek a remedy in a court of law.
If you suspect that a contract you have entered into has been altered without your consent, it is highly recommended that you seek the counsel of an experienced contract attorney. The attorney should be able to advise you of the best course of action, whether it is to agree to the modifications, negotiate new terms, or take legal actions against the other party. It is better than being forced to adhere to unfavorable terms. UpCounsel accepts only the top 5 percent of lawyers to its site.
