Now that you’ve combated the Auto-Renew Outlaw, things are cruising along nicely at work. Your team is firing on all cylinders and people are starting to notice. Things are good. You might even say things are great. And then a new deal comes in. Excellent news, right? You click the link, ready to celebrate another win when you see it:
96% discount for life with unlimited users??!
That’s outrageous. You didn’t agree to this! Another sales order form gets signed with terms no one has ever seen or agreed to, locking in unspeakable prices and add-ons with no authorization. This type of rogue contracting is going to put an end to you – or at least your career – if you don’t put a stop to it. But how?
Put an end to rogue contracting
Rogue contracting happens when internal colleagues build and negotiate their own agreements without including their legal teams. If something goes wrong (and with rogue contracting, it often does), legal has to pick up the pieces without much context.
