Hi, don't know if you got any responses to this yet, I only received it
this evening. Laws vary, sometimes drastically, from country to country.
I've said before and I'll say again, as professional and knowledgeable as
some of us are, I don't think it's the place to ask questions concerning
serious legal issues. And yes, contracts are serious legal issues.
Although I understand the temptation, this really isn't an area in which
you want to go the DIY route to save a few dollars. It's sorta like
accepting cancer treatment advice from a cancer patient, just because, you
know, it worked for them.
Consult a lawyer in your area, preferably one who specialises in contract
law and is knowledgeable about the Internet and doing business online. Once
you've got a lawyer to go through a good contract template with you, you
can most likely modify it for different clients.
That said, if you're looking for a book to just talk you through the
basics, "The Geek's Guide to Internet Business Success" by Bob Schmidt may
be worth a look.
regards.
