Legal Terms ? A Quick Guide
By Richard A. Chapo


Legal issues and problems are stressful, complex and inevitable. If you get wrapped up in legal issues, it sometimes helps to understand the lingo being bandied about.

Legal Terms

Contract: An agreement between two or more parties in which each party agrees to provide something in exchange for the other party doing the same. Typically, one party provides money while the other provides a service or product. Contracts can be oral or written, but oral contracts are difficult to enforce.

Copyright: The legal right attached to literary, musical, dramatic or artistic works. Copyright automatically attaches to the piece in favor of the creator of it. To sue for copyright infringement, the creator must file for an official copyright from the Library of Congress.

Intellectual Property: A product or idea that has tangible commercial value. Examples of intellectual property include copyrighted works such as books, patented items such as a product design and a trademarked item for a brand. The word ?Amazon? is not considered intellectual property. When applied to the Internet, however, the word is intellectual property as it refers to a brand for an online bookstore.

Non-Compete Agreement: An agreement whereby one party, typically an employee, agrees not to use information learned during employment in subsequent business efforts for a set period of time. In some states, non-compete agreements are extremely difficult to enforce. An example of a non-compete agreement dispute is the current litigation between Microsoft and Google over Kai-Fu Lee.

Non-Disclosure Agreement: A contract binding one party to a duty of confidentiality in regard to certain information provided by another. An NDA typically is executed where one party wished to discuss a business venture with another and the discussion necessarily requires the disclosure of sensitive information.

Trademark: A name, label or symbol identifying a product or web site. Trademarks are filed with the Patent and Trademark Office and restricted to a class of products or services. ?Amazon? is a trademarked term for Internet services, but not for general references such as ecological discussions.

Obviously, this is a relatively short list of legal terms. If your issue is not mentioned, you can search on the net to find an answer.

...until recently. I suppose unless you buy a car on finance you might not know about such policies. As I understand it the car gap insurance covers you in the event of a car being stolen and never recovered or one that is deemed a total loss by the insurers. If you still owe money on the car to a finance company then the gap insurance will pay off the difference between what the insurer says the car is worth and what finance you have left on it. Some of the policies will even leave you with some money to use as a deposit on another car. It`s, probably something that many people would never even consider when they take a car out on finance. If the insurance company decides that the car is worth less than you thought it might be when it is deemed a total loss then you could have to stump up the money to pay off the bal...

Gap Insurance - Gap Insurance
...h car insurance but how many people know what gap insurance is? I know that I had never heard about this type of insurance before until it was brought to my attention recently. The gap insurance covers the deprecation on a car in the event of it being stolen and never recovered. How does it work you might wonder and do you need to take it out if you have outstanding finance on the vehicle? Say you have ten thousand pounds worth of car finance on your car but when it gets stolen the insurance company says it`s only worth eight grand. It means you`ll have to find the extra two thousand pounds to pay off the finance company. If you take out gap insurance on the car, this amount will be covered, so you don`t have to find any additional money to pay off the debt. Most people buy cars and decide to keep them for a set amount of time so they know how much fina...
