No Written Contract Beyond One Service Any Real Exposure?

Card image cap

I’m looking for general guidance on a business situation involving an event a company we worked with was putting on. One specific service (transportation) was agreed to clearly in email and completed. Beyond that, there were some verbal or informal discussions about possible additional involvement (security, sponsorship, etc.), but nothing else was ever put in writing, no contract was signed, and no scope or terms were finalized. The venue is not owned by our company, and there are insurance and liability limitations that prevent us from covering third-party events without a written agreement. The other party is now acting as if a broader agreement exists based on conversations alone. I’m just trying to understand whether verbal discussions can realistically create obligations beyond what was explicitly agreed to in writing, and whether someone could claim we owe additional services when nothing else was documented or signed.

I have asked for things to be sent via email and it has not been done they are also using our company logo and another affiliate logo without legal approval.
