Because GFY has forgotten what BUSINESS is...

What is the "other " country? that will have a great bearing on the legal standing of any contract and where to have it adjudicated.

contrary to popular belief USA is not always the best Jurisdiction.

And in fact a contract with jurisditction in the USA will be less protective of the USA person than a contract in the other parties home country if any type of breach by them occurs. Unless you can substantiate they have a business presence and obtainable assets in the USA .

Contracts with Russians? That is kind of like a deal with the devil, prolly not very enforceable. Which side of Cyprus? The Turks are trying to get into the EC, so they may or may not be getting more reliable and I am certainly not sure how the Turks would treat adult. The Greeks are a better bet.
I know this is not a legal recommendation, but I have done business in both countries over the years and there are a ton of pitfalls, not to mention baksheesh.

A cyprus company would have some recourse.....

However a Russian.... well good luck man, nothing is gonna make that contract enforceble ( unless you are a Russian and have influence in that country)

If you do a deal here , you are just throwing the dice.......

But hey if you never let yourself be in a position that their actions or inactions can harm you.... then a contract is not really important in this case anyway.

I agree with Joe on this one.

You're better off with the handshake. Contract is worthless if not enforceable.

Figure out a way other than the legal system to hold both parties accountable to the agreement.
