Sample Consulting Agreement/Contract. Thoughts?
I've been trying to find a sample contract online that I could use but they were all like 800 pages long (Not Literally)! But I finally came across one that was a a little shorter and easier for both me and the client to comprehend. I tweaked it a little and I just wanted to see what you guys thought about it:
