CONTRACT LAUNDRY OPERATION

Laundry Contracts

Every laundry or linen manager should take the time to study commercial and central laundry contracts. Sooner or later you will

be called upon to demonstrate your knowledge in this key area. What you have learned through your study may help to keep

your laundry open or secure you a job with your current employer even if the laundry closes.

Long ago the words “Caveat Emptor - Let the buyer beware” were developed to warn people about contracts. These words still

apply to contracts today and more specifically to the laundry industry. Contracts provide unscrupulous laundries with many ways

to hide their total charges. A good contract will provide the framework for a solid on going working relationship with another

company.

Definition of a Contract

In simplest terms a contract is a binding agreement. Contracts arise out of agreements; hence a contract is often defined as “an agreement creating an obligation.”

The substance of the definition of a contract is that by mutual agreement or assent the parties create a legally enforceable duties or obligations that did not exist before.In order to be an enforceable contract, there must be (1) an agreement, (2) between competent parties, (3) based upon genuine assent of the parties, (4) supported by consideration, (5) made for a lawful object, and (6) in the form required by law, if any.
