Wilson \u00b7 Published October 22, 2026<\/p>\n\n<article lang=\"en\">\n\n\n<p>A service agreement dispute happens when a business believes its vendor did not do the work the written contract requires. KEW Legal helps business owners and managers in Miami-Dade and Broward County review these contracts and decide what to do next. The firm acts as outside general counsel for South Florida businesses and focuses on business contracts and vendor disputes. This page explains what these disputes look like and what to do first if you think you have a service agreement dispute.<\/p>\n<h2>What a service agreement dispute involves<\/h2>\n<p>A service agreement dispute is a disagreement about whether a vendor performed as the contract promised. A service agreement is a contract in which a provider delivers ongoing or project-based work for a company. Common examples include IT support, digital marketing, logistics, facility maintenance and staffing.<\/p>\n<p>The dispute starts when one side believes the other broke the contract. Breaking a contract means failing to do what it promises, and the law calls that a breach. The business may say the work was late, weak or incomplete. The provider may say the invoices were correct, the business did not pay, or the business changed the scope without a written change order.<\/p>\n<p>This page is for owners and managers who pay for these services and now face a problem they cannot settle on their own. You do not have to be in a lawsuit to need help. Reviewing the contract early gives you more choices.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-contrast-color has-surface-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--surface,#f2f3f5);color:var(--wp--preset--color--contrast,#22252b);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a vendor has stopped delivering the work you paid for, we can review your service agreement and explain your options before you decide what to do next.

Knowing which one you face helps you find the clauses that control your next move.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Underperformance.<\/strong> The work misses the scope, specifications, deadlines or service levels in the agreement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Over-billing.<\/strong> The provider charges above the agreed rates, bills the same item twice, or adds fees the contract does not allow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refusal to fix.<\/strong> The vendor will not correct defective work or finish the remaining scope.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Staffing and maintenance failures.<\/strong> Placed workers or service visits fall short, and the parties disagree about who is responsible for damage or repeated failures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Termination disputes.<\/strong> The parties disagree about whether either side could end the agreement, whether notice was valid, and what is owed at exit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each problem turns on specific wording. A missed deadline matters most when the contract sets a timeline and a remedy for missing it. Many contracts also require written notice, sent in a set way, before either side can act.<\/p>\n<h2>What our contract dispute work covers<\/h2>\n<p>We review the contract, the records around it, and the notices, then negotiate or move the dispute to the forum the contract requires. Our work includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Full contract review:<\/strong> scope, service levels, payment terms, change orders, notice and cure provisions, limitation of liability, dispute resolution and termination clauses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Records review:<\/strong> emails, texts, invoices, statements of work and meeting notes, and whether those communications may change the agreement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Demand letters and formal notices<\/strong> that follow the contract&#8217;s notice requirements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negotiation<\/strong> toward a corrected performance plan, a credit, a refund or a negotiated exit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mediation or arbitration<\/strong> when the contract requires it, and litigation in Florida courts when the dispute cannot be resolved another way.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Responses to counterclaims,<\/strong> which arise when the provider disputes the balance or says the business broke the agreement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How the process works<\/h2>\n<p>The process moves through five steps, from the first call to a resolution. Each step builds on the one before it.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Intake.<\/strong> You describe the services, the problem and the key dates during a consultation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document review.<\/strong> We read the agreement, invoices and communications to find the notice, cure and payment terms that control your next move. Preserve everything now, including the signed contract and any amendments, invoices, payment records, emails, texts, meeting notes, and photos or logs of defective work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strategy.<\/strong> We explain your options in plain terms, such as sending a notice, withholding a disputed amount, negotiating, or preparing a claim, along with the risks of each.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Notice and negotiation.<\/strong> When the contract calls for a cure notice, we send one and then open settlement talks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resolution.<\/strong> The matter ends in settlement, mediation, arbitration or court, depending on the contract and the other side&#8217;s response.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>How long each step takes depends on the facts, the contract and the provider&#8217;s response. We explain the likely steps at intake.<\/p>\n<h2>Why business owners work with KEW Legal<\/h2>\n<p>KEW Legal is a Florida business law firm with offices in Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach.

Most answers turn on the contract&#8217;s own wording.<\/p>\n<details class=\"wp-block-details chg-faq is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can we withhold payment to the vendor?<\/summary><p>Withholding payment turns on the contract&#8217;s payment and dispute terms. Review those terms before you hold back any money.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details chg-faq is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can an email change the agreement?<\/summary><p>It can, depending on how the contract defines amendments, change orders and written notice. Florida law also says an electronic signature has the same force as a written signature unless another law provides otherwise, under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0668\/Sections\/0668.004.html\">Florida&#8217;s electronic signature statute<\/a>.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details chg-faq is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Do we have to keep using the vendor during the dispute?<\/summary><p>The answer comes from the termination and transition clauses in your contract.

A contract clause cannot shorten that period below what the statute allows, under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.03.html\">Fla.

Early review helps you protect your options.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details chg-faq is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Does the contract require arbitration first?<\/summary><p>A valid arbitration clause is generally enforceable under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0682\/Sections\/0682.02.html\">Florida arbitration law<\/a>.

Stat. \u00a7 682.03<\/a>. Federal law also treats arbitration clauses in maritime transactions and in contracts evidencing a transaction involving commerce as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/9\/2\">valid and enforceable<\/a>, save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract.<\/p><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details chg-faq is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Where can we file a lawsuit?<\/summary><p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0047\/Sections\/0047.011.html\">Florida&#8217;s venue statute<\/a>, a suit must be brought only in the county where the defendant resides, where the cause of action accrued, or where the property in litigation is located.
