Ultimately if neither party is bad then the contract aims to set expectations and clearly outlines what each party expects. But....
The moment you have to "enforce" or "defend" a contract you've essentially lost.
Do you trust the other party? If not, then no contract will save you.
The other thing I strongly suggest is to limit the amount of work you do prior to getting paid. You should keep a slim amount of work (none, if possible) that hasn't been paid for.
Always think in worst case scenarios and assume anything that's completed but not paid for can be withheld.
- orware 12y agoThanks for the reply...typically I'm a very positive/trusting guy so I don't think too much about the enforcing part, and like you said, once you've started to go down that route it's not good. I typically haven't used any contracts in the past (only ones the group I was working with made me sign), but it seemed like it would be a good idea to see what I could be using to protect myself :-).
