Daily Q&A: Does a legal contract for TV service have to have a price on it?
Does a valid Florida contract have to have a price on the contract? Dish TV requires a two-year contract but has a price for one year. Is this a valid contract? First, the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services suggests seeking legal advice for a contract that you don’t understand before you enter an agreement. Every contract is different, so it is difficult to answer a specific legal question about a specific contract other than through a lawyer. If there is an existing contract that is in place, a lawyer still would be a helpful way to better understand the contract. Terry McElroy, a spokesman for agriculture and consumer services, says consumers who feel they have been wrongfully treated, can seek mediation through his agency at www.800helpfla.com.
