What Counts as a Breach in California?
A breach happens when a party fails to perform — or performs late, poorly, or not at all.
-
Material vs. minor: Material breach hits the core benefit; minor breach allows recovery but performance may continue.
-
Limitation periods: Written contracts = 4 yrs; oral = 2 yrs. Early review protects leverage.

FAQs
Supplier keeps missing spec — breach or warranty?
Could be both under contract/UCC. We document variance and model losses.
Should we terminate or demand cure?
Depends on materiality and notice-and-cure terms. Wrongful termination is risky.
Can we recover attorneys’ fees?
Only if contract/statute allows. Many OC MSAs contain bilateral fee clauses.
Are partial-payment settlements viable?
Often yes, tied to performance milestones or security to reduce risk.
