What a Service Contract Dispute Means in Camden County
A service contract is an agreement where one party agrees to perform a specified service for another, typically in exchange for payment. These contracts can cover everything from home improvement and construction to IT support, consulting, and repair services. In New Jersey, service contracts are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) as adopted in N.J.S.A. 12A:1-101 et seq., along with common law contract principles. The statute of limitations for bringing a claim on a written contract is six years from the date of breach (N.J.S.A. 2A:14-1).
For Camden County residents and businesses, the court with jurisdiction over contract disputes is the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division—Civil Part.
