CONTRACT

WHY WE NEED A CONTRACT

A contract clearly defines what we expect of each other: the process, deliverables and charges, and our
mutual responsibilities. Clear agreements now can simplify our lives later, especially when equity in the
product's future is involved. If this becomes
that proverbial "million-dollar product", we want to remain
friends...! Below is a sample of the contract; or download a pdf copy for reference. Once you've chosen
us for the project, we'll prepare
a formal agreement for us both to sign.
