scott's contract -awesome!, err question?

[bananaz]

On what kind of paper should the the contract I have modified be printed and hence signed..

stamp paper?
my letter head?
clients letterhead?
plain paper?

should it say CONTRACT or Memorandum of Understanding?

[serpent star]

I just print mine off on plain paper. Never really thought about it though. Just always assumed a legally binding agreement for the eyes of me, my client and the courts didn't really need to have my logo on it. Why spend the money? Letterhead is expensive.

thanks...

I think I will get them on plain sheets too... why waste money

I think we can work on assumption that the client wont run away after paying the downpayment.. (hopefully)

I would put my personal details (Name, address and contact) in each page footer for the contract. I'd also call it a contract.

Headed paper will look more professional but I don't think it's entirely necessary.

I print mine on legal size paper, front & back (more professional) and I have a title "Web Site development Agreement"

Just print your own header with logo and contact details on the page.

In reality, your contract probably doesn't mean a whole lot. I doubt the average contract made by joe-blow would hold up in court (just because the variety of laws ranging from countries, states and provinces...plus the lack of witnesses and authenication and other factors). Although it doesn't necessairly have to be 100% fools proof...you just need your client to think that it's 100% legally binding.
