AdultNex · 04-24-2005, 06:16 PM

Do you send out a contract to the client no matter how small the project is?

After Shock Media · 04-24-2005, 06:16 PM

I would

Amputate Your Head · 04-24-2005, 06:17 PM

of course not.....

cash up front works just as well.

sniperwolf · 04-24-2005, 06:18 PM

make that in black and white...

After Shock Media · 04-24-2005, 06:18 PM

Damn out of no-where.

After Shock Media · 04-24-2005, 06:20 PM

Reason I would say yes it that it not only provides a paper trail and binding agreement. It allows for something very important. They copyright will be turned over to the purchaser. Without this is writting unless they were working as an employee it is damn hard to proove copyright ownership if some dick wishes to cause you trouble latter on.

not if people are decent human beings. Which of course falls on them individually.

And when people aren't decent human beings about shit....

BURN THEM TO THE FUCKING GROUND.

Work hard. Play hard. Be fair.

And we can only wish everyone was a decent human bieng. I do however think those three words combined is almost an oxymoron.

Hey, it's worked for me. It can work for you. I've been burned a few times..... and the retribution was hard. But I've gotten everything I was ever owed. And the people that have chosen to fuck me..... are now no longer with us.

You need a contract?
I need honesty.

You fight burns with lawsuits?
I put them out of the business.

WebTitan · 04-24-2005, 06:59 PM

never, unless we were to do some long term contract over an extended period of time, then that might best best spelled out in a short contract...

theFeTiShLaDy · 04-25-2005, 03:11 AM

up front payment is more important if it only takes a month or 2 unless it's a long term project like 6 months then contract is a must.

Metalsound · 04-25-2005, 09:25 AM

No way from where I lived now it would be impossible

Depends on the size of the project. If it's only a TGP design, I would not bother.

Fletch XXX · 04-25-2005, 09:37 AM

a waste of time for most projects

Yoni · 04-25-2005, 01:44 PM
