Decided against Contract

[BlasterBates]

Normally an Agent will offer you the contract before the paperwork is ready, the contract is binding at the point you agree.

However if you're quick, particularly before the agent has contacted the client no problem. If you renege after accepting and the client was informed, you're mud with the client. There will be no legal consequences if you haven't signed, just a reputation covered in mud.

I've never 100% understood this, I'll admit.

So you agree verbally or via email, without stating "subject to contract".

Then you decide you don't want the contract.

Then you receive the contract, and you keep sending it back as your are "not happy with the details".

At some point the agent says they can't offer you the contract any more right?
