My favorite topic ;-}. I find contracts to be the one thing that
will hold up or kill a project much faster than anything else.
The longer the contract, the longer the delay. What I finally
discovered is a two page front and back works the best. On the
back, in 8 point type are your terms and conditions and
"legalese" stuff. On the front page is the contact information,
what you will do, the price and terms. They sign the front which
refers to the terms and conditions on back. Works well.
