Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.11(2)(b)<\/a>, the general limitation period for claims founded on a written instrument is five years. This is a general rule. Florida has no separate UCC limitation section for sales of goods, so a four-year period under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.11(3)(j) applies to claims not founded on a written instrument, including actions for the sale and delivery of goods. This guide explains those first steps for businesses across Miami-Dade County.<\/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 refused to pay or deliver for your Doral business, you do not have to sort out the contract alone; contact KEW Legal for a free first consultation.

Common examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>unpaid invoices<\/li>\n<li>late or defective deliveries<\/li>\n<li>missed service milestones<\/li>\n<li>disputed change orders<\/li>\n<li>disagreements over ending the relationship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some businesses in Doral operate in logistics, warehousing, distribution, and service sectors. Many of them rely on written supply and service agreements, so one missed delivery can affect cash flow and customer orders. A dispute can also arise without a long contract. A purchase order, an emailed quote, or a pattern of past dealings may show what the parties agreed to. The first question is whether the deal involves goods, services, or both. Florida&#8217;s sale-of-goods rules apply to goods, and they differ from the general rules for services.<\/p>\n<h2>What Should You Gather Before Contacting the Vendor?<\/h2>\n<p>Collect every record that shows what was promised, what was delivered, and what was paid. Then put those records in date order. Start with the signed agreement and any amendments. Then gather:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>purchase orders and quotes<\/li>\n<li>invoices and payment records<\/li>\n<li>delivery receipts, bills of lading, and inspection notes<\/li>\n<li>emails, texts, and chat messages<\/li>\n<li>photos or test results showing defective work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Next, build a timeline. Write one line for each date. Note what each party promised, what it did, and what was said. Keep the entries factual and name who said what.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid three common mistakes. Do not alter or delete records, even ones that seem unhelpful. Do not send angry messages that admit fault or make threats. And do not withhold payment or pause orders before you read the contract. The contract may set exactly how and when you can do that.<\/p>\n<h2>Which Contract Clauses Control Your Next Step?<\/h2>\n<p>The notice, cure, termination, and dispute clauses usually decide what you must do before you can sue. A notice clause names who must receive written notice, how it must be sent, and where. A text to the vendor&#8217;s sales rep may not count if the contract requires certified mail to a set address. A cure period gives the vendor a set time to fix the problem. If you end the contract or hold back money before that window closes, the dispute can become harder to present.<\/p>\n<p>Also review these terms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>limitation of liability, which may cap what you can recover<\/li>\n<li>indemnity, which may shift certain third-party claims<\/li>\n<li>governing law and venue, which choose the state and place for disputes<\/li>\n<li>attorney&#8217;s fees, which may decide who pays legal costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fee clauses work in a specific way. Under <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>, if a contract lets a party recover fees for enforcing it, the court may also allow fees to the other party when that party prevails.<\/p>\n<p>If the contract has an arbitration clause, check it before you file. 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\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 682.02<\/a>, an agreement in a record to arbitrate is valid, enforceable, and irrevocable, except on grounds that exist to revoke any contract.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are the Florida Deadlines for Contract Claims?<\/h2>\n<p>Florida law generally sets a time limit for filing contract lawsuits, and a contract cannot shorten it below the statute. Florida never adopted the Uniform Commercial Code&#8217;s separate limitation rule for sales of goods, so there is no Fla. Stat. \u00a7 672.725. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.11<\/a>, the period is five years for a contract founded on a written instrument and four years for an oral or unwritten contract, including an action for the sale and delivery of goods, wares and merchandise and on store accounts, and other exceptions may apply. 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. Stat. \u00a7 95.03<\/a>, a contract clause that shortens the time to sue below the statutory period is void, including in sale-of-goods contracts.<\/p>\n<p>The clock generally starts when the last element of the claim occurs, under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.031.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.031<\/a>. That date is not always the date of the first problem, which is why the timeline matters.<\/p>\n<p>For goods you have accepted, notice comes first. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0672\/Sections\/0672.607.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 672.607<\/a>, the buyer must notify the seller of a breach within a reasonable time after the buyer discovers or should have discovered any breach. Otherwise, the buyer may be barred from any remedy. Give written notice early.<\/p>\n<p>These are general rules. Your contract, the type of deal, and the facts decide which rule applies. Only a review of the actual agreement can confirm your dates.<\/p>\n<h2>What Options Exist Before a Lawsuit?<\/h2>\n<p>Some vendor disputes settle through a written demand, negotiation, or mediation before any court case begins. A demand letter should identify the agreement, describe the breach, state the payment or repair you want, and set a deadline to respond. Send it to the notice address the contract names.<\/p>\n<p>Resolutions often take one of these forms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a payment plan with a written schedule<\/li>\n<li>corrective work completed by the vendor<\/li>\n<li>a mutual release that closes the dispute<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Florida courts can also send some cases to mediation. Under <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>, when a party asks, the court is required to send a pending civil lawsuit seeking money damages to mediation, but only if the requesting party is willing and able to pay the mediation costs or those costs can be equitably divided between the parties. The rule is also subject to exceptions listed in the statute, including debt collection actions and landlord-tenant disputes that do not include a personal injury claim.<\/p>\n<p>Before you send a demand, confirm the vendor&#8217;s legal name and status in the Florida Division of Corporations&#8217; Sunbiz records. A demand sent to the wrong entity can cause delay. The Florida Division of Corporations&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/search.sunbiz.org\/Inquiry\/CorporationSearch\/ByName\">Sunbiz search<\/a> lists registered business entities.<\/p>\n<p>Litigation is one option, not the only one.
