Hi Sean,
Meaning no disrepect to your experience, but I completely disagree that
"contracts usefulness are limited." You're right that a breach of contract
suit can cost more than any remedy you might obtain, but a well-drafted
contract can keep you out of court in the first place. A contract's use
isn't limited to the terms of payment; it also will govern liability and the
scope of the work to be completed. If you approach the contract with the
legal concept "meeting of the minds," there's no need for a contract to
create distrust.
Just my two cents. I'd hate for a new developer to read your post and forge
ahead without a contract.
Regards,
Marc Garrett
