defunk contract sample

If you read any contract carefully, it covers the whole terms and conditions from: deposits, payment schedule, reproduction of work, copyright issues and even cancelation of project.

Designers need to realise the importance of contract. Contract is not for safety, but to show that both the designer and client trust each other. It doesn't matter whether your registered or not, with both signatures there and details of both individuals the b/w is legal already.

Regarding your partial-payment-agreement I take it your talking about a deposit. Usually deposits start from 30% - 40% from the full payment. Afterall think about it, if your client cant even pay the deposit, what does it tell you about them?
