Hi all ,
Here I go with my first post , be gentle with me !!
I have recently being working with a client designing small sites for them, and we agreed on a set price per one (there was a lot of work so the fee was nominal). Now no contract was ever drawn up at the time , but things did run smoothly and still do ......... Now they are looking at furthering the relationship and giving me larger projects to work , and of course now a contract / non-disclosure agreement etc needs signing ... my questions are who should be writing up the contract , me or them ? should i mention my hourly rate or per day or per project ..... i'm pretty damn stumped and want to get it all watertight , and amicable for both sides as they have been a great company to freelance for .
any help greatly appreciated !!

You should write your own contract for them, and they should have one for you.

The company that wants to work with me , wants to keep hold of me , that is the impression i have gotten from speaking to them, is it possible to reference this in some way in a contract (ie. a minimum 12months contract) ??martynb, post: 5876 a écrit : Hello Slim,

From which side? you or them?slimboyfatz33, post: 5877 a écrit : The company that wants to work with me , wants to keep hold of me , that is the impression i have gotten from speaking to them, is it possible to reference this in some way in a contract (ie. a minimum 12months contract) ??
12 months is a long time. I would go down the route of 2 months grace period as this gives you time to find alternative work.
Also watch out for non-compete if its a dedicated company you working for they might not like you to work for a similar company.. i.e. marketing and promoting their website..
