Los mensajes de texto y los correos escritos con enojo pueden citarse en su contra m\u00e1s adelante, as\u00ed que mantenga los primeros mensajes breves y objetivos.<\/p>\n<p>Evite admisiones por escrito, como &#8220;fue culpa nuestra&#8221;, y amenazas que quiz\u00e1s no pueda cumplir. Esas frases pueden debilitar su posici\u00f3n antes de que alguien lea el contrato.<\/p>\n<p>Despu\u00e9s, re\u00fana todo en un solo lugar. Eso incluye el contrato firmado, las enmiendas, las \u00f3rdenes de compra, las facturas, los correos electr\u00f3nicos, los mensajes de texto y las notas de las llamadas. Conserve los archivos originales sin cambios y guarde copias en una carpeta aparte.<\/p>\n<p>Luego, elabore una cronolog\u00eda con fechas. Anote cu\u00e1ndo venc\u00eda cada obligaci\u00f3n, qu\u00e9 ocurri\u00f3, qu\u00e9 pag\u00f3 y qu\u00e9 lleg\u00f3 tarde, incompleto o no lleg\u00f3. Las lagunas en las fechas son comunes, y una cronolog\u00eda las revela r\u00e1pidamente.<\/p>\n<p>Por \u00faltimo, calcule sus p\u00e9rdidas hasta el momento. Sume los pagos en efectivo, los costos de reemplazo y los ingresos perdidos, y respalde cada cifra con un recibo o una factura. Espere antes de calificar el problema como &#8220;incumplimiento&#8221; hasta tener los hechos completos. Esta es la etapa en la que un abogado de disputas por contratos comerciales y con proveedores puede ayudarle a organizar el expediente. El error m\u00e1s com\u00fan es depender de la memoria o de promesas verbales que nadie dej\u00f3 por escrito.<\/p>\n<h2>Lea el contrato en busca de cl\u00e1usulas de notificaci\u00f3n, subsanaci\u00f3n, disputas y honorarios<\/h2>\n<p>El contrato establece las primeras reglas, as\u00ed que l\u00e9alo antes de actuar. Cuatro tipos de cl\u00e1usulas son los m\u00e1s importantes al inicio.<\/p>\n<p>Las <strong>condiciones de notificaci\u00f3n<\/strong> indican c\u00f3mo debe comunicar a la otra parte un problema. Pueden exigir un m\u00e9todo de entrega, una direcci\u00f3n y una redacci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica. Un correo electr\u00f3nico informal podr\u00eda no contar si el contrato exige un env\u00edo certificado a una direcci\u00f3n determinada.<\/p>\n<p>Los <strong>periodos de subsanaci\u00f3n<\/strong> le dan a la otra parte un n\u00famero fijo de d\u00edas para corregir el problema. Es posible que los recursos no est\u00e9n disponibles hasta que venza ese plazo, as\u00ed que controle sus fechas con cuidado.<\/p>\n<p>Las <strong>cl\u00e1usulas de disputas<\/strong> pueden exigir mediaci\u00f3n o arbitraje primero. Tambi\u00e9n fijan el foro y la ley aplicable. Florida hace cumplir los acuerdos de arbitraje por escrito conforme a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0682\/Sections\/0682.02.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 682.02<\/a>, por lo que una cl\u00e1usula as\u00ed merece una lectura detenida.<\/p>\n<p>Las <strong>cl\u00e1usulas de honorarios<\/strong> determinan qui\u00e9n paga los honorarios legales. Seg\u00fan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0057\/Sections\/0057.105.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 57.105<\/a>, si un contrato permite que una de las partes recupere honorarios por hacerlo cumplir, el tribunal puede otorgar honorarios a la otra parte cuando esta prevalezca.<\/p>\n<p>Revise tambi\u00e9n el lenguaje sobre limitaci\u00f3n de responsabilidad, porque puede limitar lo que usted puede recuperar. Omitir un paso de notificaci\u00f3n o de subsanaci\u00f3n exigido puede debilitar una reclamaci\u00f3n posterior.<\/p>\n<h2>Acuerdos verbales y acuerdos parcialmente escritos: qu\u00e9 sigue teniendo validez<\/h2>\n<p>Un acuerdo que solo est\u00e1 parcialmente por escrito puede seguir siendo importante, pero es m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil de probar. La ley de Florida exige un escrito firmado para algunos acuerdos, as\u00ed que el tipo de acuerdo cambia la respuesta.<\/p>\n<p>La ley de Florida puede exigir que ciertos acuerdos comerciales consten por escrito y est\u00e9n firmados antes de que un tribunal los haga cumplir, por lo que vale la pena confirmar si un acuerdo en el que usted conf\u00eda entra en esa categor\u00eda. Los contratos de suministro o de servicios plurianuales suelen caer dentro de esta regla.<\/p>\n<p>En cuanto a las ventas de bienes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0672\/Sections\/0672.201.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 672.201<\/a> establece que un contrato de bienes con un precio de $500 o m\u00e1s no es exigible, salvo que exista un registro firmado que demuestre que se realiz\u00f3 una venta. Entre comerciantes, una confirmaci\u00f3n por escrito puede satisfacer esa regla frente a quien la recibi\u00f3, a menos que esa persona la objete por escrito dentro de 10 d\u00edas.<\/p>\n<p>Otras pruebas incluyen correos electr\u00f3nicos, mensajes de texto, facturas, registros de pagos y la forma en que ambas partes cumplieron efectivamente. Esos registros con frecuencia muestran lo que se acord\u00f3.<\/p>\n<p>Si los t\u00e9rminos est\u00e1n en disputa, env\u00ede un resumen escrito de su entendimiento. Pres\u00e9ntelo como su entendimiento y pida a la otra parte que corrija los errores dentro de un plazo determinado. Un error com\u00fan es un mensaje de texto informal que resume el acuerdo de forma que parece aceptar un punto que nunca acord\u00f3.<\/p>\n<h2>Qu\u00e9 hace que un contrato sea nulo, anulable o inexigible en Florida<\/h2>\n<p>Un contrato puede impugnarse por varios motivos, y el motivo adecuado depende de los documentos y del momento. Florida tiene leyes que pueden volver inexigible un acuerdo o una cl\u00e1usula.<\/p>\n<p>Las reglas sobre la forma escrita mencionadas arriba son un ejemplo. Un requisito de escrito firmado puede impedir la ejecuci\u00f3n de ciertos acuerdos verbales, y un requisito de registro puede limitar las reclamaciones por venta de bienes.<\/p>\n<p>Otro ejemplo es <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. Stat. \u00a7 95.03<\/a>, que declara nula cualquier cl\u00e1usula del contrato que fije un plazo para demandar m\u00e1s corto que el de prescripci\u00f3n legal. Muchos due\u00f1os conf\u00edan en un plazo breve escrito en su propio acuerdo, y esa cl\u00e1usula podr\u00eda no sostenerse.<\/p>\n<p>Otros motivos que suelen plantearse incluyen el fraude, los t\u00e9rminos il\u00edcitos y ciertos errores. Cu\u00e1l de ellos aplica depende de los hechos.<\/p>\n<p>Las impugnaciones de un acuerdo pueden surgir incluso cuando usted quiere hacerlo cumplir. La otra parte podr\u00eda plantearlas, as\u00ed que revise tambi\u00e9n su propio acuerdo. Un error com\u00fan es asumir que un contrato firmado siempre es exigible o siempre es nulo. Ambas suposiciones pueden resultar costosas.<\/p>\n<h2>Los cuatro elementos de una reclamaci\u00f3n por incumplimiento de contrato y los tipos de incumplimiento<\/h2>\n<p>Las disputas contractuales suelen depender de lo que dice el acuerdo, de c\u00f3mo cumpli\u00f3 cada parte y de qu\u00e9 p\u00e9rdida sigui\u00f3.<\/p>\n<p>Cada elemento debe coincidir con documentos que usted pueda presentar, no con suposiciones.<\/p>\n<p>El tipo de incumplimiento importa:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Un <strong>incumplimiento sustancial<\/strong> afecta el n\u00facleo del acuerdo. Un <strong>incumplimiento menor<\/strong> no. La diferencia puede afectar si usted puede dejar de cumplir, as\u00ed que no la decida por intuici\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>Un <strong>incumplimiento anticipado<\/strong> ocurre cuando una parte afirma de antemano que no cumplir\u00e1.<\/li>\n<li>Un <strong>incumplimiento parcial<\/strong> abarca el cumplimiento tard\u00edo, incompleto o defectuoso. Muchas disputas con proveedores caen en este grupo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cada tipo apunta a pruebas distintas. Una entrega tard\u00eda requiere fechas de entrega y avisos. Una negativa requiere la declaraci\u00f3n escrita. Un error com\u00fan es dejar de pagar o de cumplir antes de comparar los hechos con los t\u00e9rminos. Ese movimiento puede convertirlo en la parte incumplidora.<\/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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-contrast-color has-text-color\">\u00bfTiene preguntas sobre lo que pas\u00f3?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preg\u00fantele directamente a nuestro equipo.

Por eso conviene revisar con calma los t\u00e9rminos de un contrato antes de firmarlo.<\/p>\n<p>Los argumentos de injusticia s\u00ed surgen en las disputas. Los tribunales examinan c\u00f3mo se celebr\u00f3 el acuerdo y qu\u00e9 dicen sus t\u00e9rminos. Si ese argumento ayuda depende de los hechos, y puede plantearse como defensa y no como una reclamaci\u00f3n independiente.<\/p>\n<p>Los contratos entre empresas suelen hacerse cumplir tal como est\u00e1n escritos, sobre todo cuando ambas partes negociaron los t\u00e9rminos. Preguntas \u00fatiles incluyen: \u00bfrevis\u00f3 y anot\u00f3 el borrador? \u00bfTuvo oportunidad de preguntar por los t\u00e9rminos? \u00bfHubo t\u00e9rminos ocultos o tergiversados? Las respuestas determinan el an\u00e1lisis.<\/p>\n<p>El error frecuente es tratar un mal resultado comercial como prueba de un contrato injusto. Separe dos preguntas. \u00bfLa otra parte no cumpli\u00f3? Esa es una cuesti\u00f3n de incumplimiento. \u00bfSon injustos los t\u00e9rminos en s\u00ed? Esa es una pregunta distinta.<\/p>\n<h2>Opciones previas a la demanda: aviso, cartas de requerimiento, negociaci\u00f3n y mediaci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n<p>La mayor\u00eda de las disputas comerciales comienzan con un aviso formal, una carta de requerimiento o conversaciones directas antes de que alguien presente una demanda. Cada paso puede reducir los puntos en conflicto, pero ninguno puede prometer un resultado.<\/p>\n<p>Un <strong>aviso formal de incumplimiento<\/strong> sigue las reglas de entrega y subsanaci\u00f3n del contrato. Debe indicar el problema, la cl\u00e1usula involucrada y el periodo de subsanaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Una <strong>carta de requerimiento<\/strong> expone los hechos, identifica los t\u00e9rminos del contrato que se incumplieron, solicita una subsanaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica, fija un plazo y reserva sus derechos. Mant\u00e9ngala objetiva. Un tribunal podr\u00eda leer la carta m\u00e1s adelante, as\u00ed que evite insultos y amenazas exageradas.<\/p>\n<p>La <strong>negociaci\u00f3n<\/strong> puede producir un plan de pagos, un cr\u00e9dito, una entrega corregida o una salida mutua. Ponga cualquier acuerdo por escrito y f\u00edrmelo.<\/p>\n<p>Si una demanda busca da\u00f1os monetarios, el tribunal debe remitirla a mediaci\u00f3n cuando una de las partes lo solicite, salvo que aplique una excepci\u00f3n, conforme a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0044\/Sections\/0044.102.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 44.102<\/a>. Las disputas entre arrendador e inquilino que no incluyan una reclamaci\u00f3n por lesiones personales est\u00e1n excluidas. Su contrato puede exigir mediaci\u00f3n o arbitraje primero. Ambas partes tambi\u00e9n pueden acordar por escrito suspender los plazos durante las conversaciones. Obtenga ese acuerdo firmado antes de que venza el plazo.<\/p>\n<h2>Remedios y da\u00f1os: c\u00f3mo puede ser una recuperaci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n<p>Lo que usted puede recuperar depende del contrato, de las p\u00e9rdidas que pueda probar y de lo que permita la ley. No se puede prometer ning\u00fan resultado, y las cifras deben provenir de sus propios registros.<\/p>\n<p>Las ofertas de transacci\u00f3n influyen en el costo. Seg\u00fan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.79.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.79<\/a> y la Fla. R. Civ.

Stat. \u00a7 672.607<\/a> exige que notifique al vendedor el incumplimiento dentro de un plazo razonable despu\u00e9s de descubrirlo o de cuando debi\u00f3 haberlo descubierto. De lo contrario, podr\u00eda quedar impedido de obtener cualquier remedio. Esta es una trampa com\u00fan en las disputas con proveedores.<\/p>\n<p>La recuperaci\u00f3n de honorarios depende de la cl\u00e1usula de honorarios del contrato, como se explic\u00f3 arriba. Sus p\u00e9rdidas documentadas marcan el punto de partida para cualquier cifra de da\u00f1os. Mantenga organizados los recibos, las facturas y las cotizaciones de reemplazo. El error com\u00fan es estimar las p\u00e9rdidas de memoria.<\/p>\n<h2>Plazos: prescripci\u00f3n en Florida y periodos de notificaci\u00f3n contractuales<\/h2>\n<p>Los contratos verbales generalmente tienen un plazo de cuatro a\u00f1os.

Stat. \u00a7 95.031, una causa de acci\u00f3n generalmente nace cuando se cumple su \u00faltimo elemento. Esa fecha puede ser distinta de una fecha que indique el contrato, as\u00ed que no d\u00e9 nada por sentado.<\/p>\n<p>Su contrato puede contener sus propias disposiciones de notificaci\u00f3n, por lo que vale la pena revisarlas pronto. Un requisito de notificaci\u00f3n o una ventana para reclamar en su acuerdo puede vencer primero, as\u00ed que act\u00fae antes de la fecha m\u00e1s temprana que aplique. Una cl\u00e1usula que intente fijar un plazo para demandar m\u00e1s corto que el que permite la ley es nula conforme a Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.03.<\/p>\n<p>Las disputas por bienes a\u00f1aden otra capa. El aviso de incumplimiento conforme al \u00a7 672.607 debe darse dentro de un plazo razonable. Esperar mientras contin\u00faan las negociaciones puede costarle el remedio.

Stat. \u00a7 620.8307<\/a>, una sociedad puede demandar y ser demandada en el nombre de la sociedad, y una sentencia contra una sociedad no es por s\u00ed sola una sentencia contra un socio. Una disputa societaria o de arrendamiento puede requerir una revisi\u00f3n propia.<\/p>\n<p>Antes de firmar cualquier documento o enviar una demanda, verifique la situaci\u00f3n de la otra parte en la <a href=\"https:\/\/dos.fl.gov\/sunbiz\/\">Divisi\u00f3n de Corporaciones de Florida (Sunbiz)<\/a>. All\u00ed se indica si una entidad est\u00e1 registrada y activa.<\/p>\n<h3>Preguntas frecuentes<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u00bfCu\u00e1nto tiempo tiene para demandar por incumplimiento de contrato en Florida?<\/strong> Los contratos escritos generalmente tienen un plazo de cinco a\u00f1os, y los verbales generalmente tienen cuatro. Sus hechos determinan cu\u00e1ndo empieza a correr el plazo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfEs exigible un contrato verbal en Florida?<\/strong> Algunos acuerdos verbales pueden hacerse cumplir. Los acuerdos que no pueden cumplirse dentro de un a\u00f1o generalmente requieren un escrito firmado.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfTengo que intentar la mediaci\u00f3n antes de demandar?<\/strong> No siempre. Un tribunal puede enviar un caso de da\u00f1os a mediaci\u00f3n cuando una de las partes lo solicite, pero su contrato puede exigir la mediaci\u00f3n primero.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfPuedo dejar de cumplir cuando la otra parte incumple?<\/strong> Posiblemente, pero detenerse demasiado pronto puede generar un incumplimiento propio. Revise primero los t\u00e9rminos.<\/p>\n<p>Si acaba de detectar un incumplimiento, recibi\u00f3 un requerimiento o ve acercarse un plazo, puede describir esos hechos al equipo de KEW Legal.
