When one party to a contract does not perform his duties they are in breach of contract and there are legal implications.

If one party fails to act as promised, and the other party has fulfilled the duties under the contract, the other party is entitled to legal relief. When one party has breached the contract, the party who has performed is entitled to various remedies for the breach. * Consequential damages - This requires the breaching party to pay the non-breaching party an amount that puts the non-breaching party in the same position they would have been in if the contract was performed * Punitive damages - Courts can force the breaching party to make a payment as a punishment for the breach of contract * Liquidated damages - The parties agree, at the time they make the contract, that if one party breaches the contract, the breaching party should pay a specified sum. Thus, this is an amount written in the contract * Nominal damages - This is a minimal amount provided to the non-breaching party if that party won the case but did not financially lose much In certain situations, they can also get specific performance of the contract.

Breach of contract creditor failure to pay?
If one side fails to stick to her/her/its part of the bargain, there is a breach. A breach occurs when: one party to a contract makes it impossible for the other parties to the contract to perform; a party to the contract does something against the intent of the contract; or a party absolutely refuses to perform the contract. Not all breaches of contract are necessarily "contract killers" which would end up in a lawsuit. Much would depend on whether the breach is "material" or "immaterial" and who the parties are. If the breach is immaterial, you may have the option to: ignore or excuse the defect and continue on as if nothing occurred, point out the problem to the responsible side and give it/she/him an opportunity to fix it, refuse to pay anything more until it is fixed, or correct the work yourself and deduct the cost from any payment. What makes sense for you will depend on the facts. Where the matter is substantial, the advice of an attorney can help you im awesome i know
