can anyone do me a favor?...

[adamr1001]

i was wondering if anyone can provide me with a sample contract - for use with clients, under short-term subcontracting circumstances...

i have no idea how to write one up - nor do i know what needs to be said in it. i can't afford a lawyer..

thanks.

I find the most effective contract is one that is clearly worded in plain english. Don't try and account for every possible extreme circumstance... instead define things like:

- scope of the job
- the rate of the work
- your availability for the work (and hours of work)
- how you will define the conclusion of the job
- a "get out" clause definition that defines penalties for early (non-mutual) ending of the contract

If you find that you need a water-tight contract, then you *must* secure the services of a Lawyer to do this.

I also suggest you investigate some indemnity insurance. This will cover you for damages.

Extreme example: on site you spill a cup of coffee on some hardware, crippling their server and causing them to lose national connectivity -- leading to a repair bill and loss of income (for the client)... without this kind of indemnity cover you would personally be responsible (to their insurance agent at least) for any and all damages.

I'm sure there are resources for DIY (Do It Yourself) contracts etc... but I would err on the side of caution if I were you.

PS: Would this not be more appropriate in another forum?

You could something like this as a guideline:

Not to sound mean but try Google before posting, it will give you a pile of options.
