Client: "We signed an MOU with another company… so we're legally bound now, right?"
Us: "Mmm… not always. Depends. Let’s lawyer this up." ⚖️πŸ˜‰


πŸ“˜ MOU vs Agreement – Know the Legal Power Level!

πŸ”Ή MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) = A gentleman’s handshake in writing 🀝
πŸ”Ή Agreement = A legal swordfight ready to be enforced πŸ—‘️⚖️

MOU is used to express intentions, not obligations.
Agreements are full-on legally binding, with enforceable terms and clauses.

πŸ“Œ When to Use an MOU:
✅ Early-stage partnerships
✅ Exploring synergies
✅ Collaboration talks
✅ International deals pending formalisation

πŸ“Œ When You Need an Agreement (ASAP):
✅ Sharing money, resources or IP
✅ Defining roles, timelines, and penalties
✅ Long-term partnerships
✅ Legal commitments or liabilities

🧠 Here’s the Risk:
If you treat an MOU like a contract, you may end up in court with nothing but intentions and good vibes to defend yourself. πŸ’­✨
And good vibes aren’t legal tender… yet. πŸ˜…

πŸ’‘ Golden Rule:
MOU = Talk is cheap πŸ’¬
Agreement = Put it in writing, sign it, seal it, store it! πŸ–Š️πŸ“œπŸ—‚️
