1. theoretically breach of contract, but I dont know if their case would be good

2. less of a chance - I do not see what their damages would be if you meet your obligations

3. yes, but you should have an attorney review your agreements to make sure they are solid

4. why do you say this? is it a reputable company? have you already executed an agreement? maybe you need to revise your agreement to give yourself some security. I cannot tell whether you signed an agreement that relates to patents, or a licensing agreement for technology the contract stipulates is yours, whether your technology is a trade secret, or copyrightable, whether your agreement constitute a partnership agreement, who owns the technology and rights under your agreement, etc. Also, you would want choice of law and jurisdiction in case of disputes to of course be california. You came to a lawyer a little late if you dont have one already, but better late than never. Send me an email if you want help.

Best,
