- tptacek 16y agoThis is a seriously reductionist view of the universe. Contracts are a device for securing agreement. You put a contract in place so you can ensure both sides agree on things, like, "we're not going to raise our prices without allowing you a 12 month grandfather period". You don't get contracts in place so you can sue people. We're a small business (in the grand scheme of things). We're unlikely to take anyone to court. You think we don't have freelancers (designers, devs) sign contracts with us? That's insane. Of course we do. How else would we all agree on what the freelancers were doing?
