First, you might consider looking through the standard form contracts that are usually for sale in office supply stores.  There are often standard contracts for employment, and these are usually considered ok.  (Don't worry if the contract says employment if you're considered a contractor; the distinction depends on how much supervision the bosses have, not what the contract says.)\n\nSecond, if that doesn't work, you might consider letting the bosses write the contract.  There is a rule of law that when a contract is ambiguous it is to be interpreted against the person who wrote it, so missing or confusing parts of it would be interpreted in your favor if a problem arose.\n\nThird, to do the contract yourself, you should think about the following.  Include a description of the ideal relationship you want to create (for example, this is a contract for employment as a nanny in return for the compensation described below).  State clearly what work you agree to do and what compensation you expect to be given for it (and how frequently).  Then, try to imagine all the things that could happen that might lead one side or the other to want out of the agreement, and put down exactly what you and the bosses can agree to do about those problems if they arise (E.g., how much notice should you each expect if the other side wants to end the employment).  It is also customary to include a provision that says the contract is the whole deal, so there are no side-agreements or oral modifications undermining the contract's terms.  You might want to include the right for you and the bosses to modify the agreement later in writing, in case something else comes up.\n\nYou also might be able to find contract templates or useful tips on findlaw.com.  I hope that helps.  Good luck.

This depends on what your agreement was for,  did you borrow money or did he invest for the expectation of a future profit or did he buy part of the business.  What he gets, since there was nothing in writing, also depends on hte the value of your word!

The club should have basic contracts on hand.  Once you've read the contract over, preferably with a lawyer, if you find anything in the contract that you don't agree with you can negotiate the terms and either rewrite the contract or cross out that part and add what is called a contract rider with the changes.  A contract rider is just an additional sheet(s) of paper with your terms that have been added to the contract and is signed by you and the person representing the venue. \n\nIt is inadvisible for someone who has no experience in this area or is not an attorney to write a contract on their own.

It would really *really* help if you gave us a bit more information about what you're doing and what your terms mean.\n\n\nDoug

It depends on where you're working.  If there are tons of people locally who are fluent in both languages, you won't be able to charge high prices.  If you're a rarity in your area, you can afford to charge more.  I'm an English tutor and I do some editing work on the side.  I suggest not setting a price until you've seen the work that needs translating, and then setting a flat rate.  It can be a lot harder to translate a legal contract than a brochure, so don't commit to a price until you've seen the level of difficulty.

Your best bet would be to go to a local law library, either one affiliated with a local university or your local county law library, and ask a reference librarian to show you where the contract form books are. Typically, law libraries will have generic contract form and clause books in circulation, sometimes even tailored to your particular state's law.

First get rid of the commas at the end of the sentences in the experience field and either use periods on all of them or none of them.  Same with skills summary, etc.. you want consistency.  \n\nTake the comma out of the sentence Non IT Solutions, \n\nUse 'present' where you have "till date" under other experience, sales representative.  You also don't need to repeat Australia there.\n\nChange "referees" to "References" and add in a third contact.\n\nOther than that I would change your Objective.  Take that word right out of there and put in a small paragraph about yourself.  Something like, \n\n"I have experience with computers, programing and design for over... years.  I would like to find a position with a compay to utilize my computer skills and abilities to grow with the company as a successful IT consultant"  \nOr something to that effect.  \n\nAlso, wherever there is green squgglies.. fix the spacing.. LOL..\n\nANd for the people looking at this.. it is not a virus.. and the boxes don't show up when you print, it's part of the software - inserting a table.\n\nFix it up a bit, and you should have no problem getting the interview.  You have a great combination of skills and experience.. just remember you are selling yourself.

Any first year law student can tell you there are 3 basic elements to any contract;  (1) offer; (2) acceptance of the offer; and (3) consideration or an exchange of value.  The terms of the acceptance must mirror the terms of the offer.\n\nOf course, contract law is much more complex than that.  Some contracts must be in writing and the parties must have the legal or mental capaity to enter into a contract.  But offer, acceptance and consideration are the basic elements to any contract.

No, I was a technical author for the last 5 years of my working life, so I used to write the stuff, in an office environment, (mainly instrument control systems and operating proceedures) for 8 hours plus per day.\nBut your job really has me intrigued , 'you read technical books to gain skills and then sell the services'??\nIf you get time (from your very busy schedule) perhaps you could drop me a line and tell me what thats all about. I have been retired 3 years and must be well out of touch.\nThe stuff  I wrote was for the of of technicians and plant operators.\nHope to hear from you (I'm not buying)!!

First of all I'd recommend you come up with a contract for clients. Right now you are using verbal agreements and emails as you said above. That will hold up to some degree but to put everything in writing and having your client sign a contract with you before the job ensures your payment one way or another. The emails will hold up in small claims court but you may end up with less than your bill states because you did not have a solid written contract with your client. In the end the it will be your word against his with the emails swaying it your way. Though again, get agreements in writing to have a record of the transaction. With that situations like this will be very easy to resolve without alot of hassle and "he said, she said". Good luck and next time get it in writing.

Always get it in writing before embarking on any contractural situation.  Make sure the company agrees to what is in the contract and that your part is agreeable to you.  Otherwise, you may come out on the short end of the stick and the company will assume they took the risk and furnished much more toward the project than they actually did

No.\n\nUS law dictates that any sale of goods or services over $500 has to be in writing.  If I remember my real estate law class from university correctly, it's called the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code). Verbal contracts are non-binding in this case.  \n\nThe written contract takes precident.  And here, most real estate sales contracts are worded so that they can back out anytime they want to.  \n\nI learned this the hard way where the same thing happened to me, where a seller backed out on a verbal contract after promising to sell a house to us.  My wife and I quit our apartment in the Bay Area and were effectively homeless unless we could find a new house.  We ended up tracking them down, begging them to reconsider.  Contacted a lawyers, but as you already know - didn't have a leg to stand on. \n\nIt all worked out in the end.  I didn't go homeless. If you believe in Karma, then what comes around goes around.  Don't get pissed, just know that bad things eventually happen to people who don't live an honest life.
