Lawyers are good tool in our business. If someone gives me a one page "mutual NDA" I can handle it myself.
If I get 9 pages of "our standard contract" and I read it through, ask if I can make changes and if they say yes, I give it to my lawyer.
For that contract I actually wrote back this:

- chrisbennet 7y agoWhen you have they whole email, there isn't any ambiguity. :-) This is the whole email: "Hi Guys, Who signs these “standard contracts”? 4.2. In the event the Provider is in breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 4.1 above, in addition to any other remedies IPG may have under this Agreement, IPG, at its sole option and without incurring any liability, may: (d) Recover any and all actual, incidental and consequential damages to IPG, including but not limited to actual or estimated loss of profits and sales and costs to cover, attorney’s fees and costs; Nice try but yeah, no. ;-) If I can strike out the unreasonable parts we can probably come to some agreement. -Chris"
