Agreements and contracts

What it is

The written rules governing co-founders, workers, suppliers, customers, intellectual property, confidentiality, and disputes.

Why it matters

Clear agreements protect relationships precisely when money, ownership, pressure, or failure makes memory unreliable.

What Flir develops

Agreement inventory, term-sheet outlines, contract templates, and legal-review checklist

Target objective

Put every critical relationship under understandable written terms before dependency or conflict grows.

A delivery startup uses a merchant agreement that clearly assigns food safety obligations and limits platform liability.

Monitoring brief

Signals Flir should keep checking as this part of the plan evolves.

  • Contractor and employment-law changes
  • Privacy and consumer-protection rules
  • Renewal dates and contractual exposure
