-
-Revised date: 07/11/2012 
-
-Between us [company name] 
-and you [customer name] 
-
-## Summary: 
-
-We’ll always do our best to fulfil your needs and meet your expectations, but it’s important to have things written down so that we both know what’s what, who should do what and when, and what will happen if something goes wrong. In this contract you won’t find any complicated legal terms or long passages of unreadable text. We’ve no desire to trick you into signing something that you might later regret. What we do want is what’s best for both parties, now and in the future.
-
-So in short;
-
-You ([customer name]), located at [customer address] are hiring us ([company name]) located at [company address] to [design and develop a web site] for the estimated total price of [total] as outlined in our previous correspondence. Of course it’s a little more complicated, but we’ll get to that.
-
-## What do both parties agree to do? 
-
-*You:* You have the authority to enter into this contract on behalf of yourself, your company or your organisation. You’ll give us everything we need to complete the project as and when and in the format we need it. You’ll review our work, provide feedback and approval in a timely manner too. Deadlines work two ways, so you’ll also be bound by dates we set together. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract.
-
-*Us:* We have the experience and ability to do everything we’ve agreed with you and we’ll do it all in a professional and timely manner. We’ll endeavour to meet every deadline that’s set and on top of that we'll maintain the confidentiality of everything you give us.
-
-## Getting down to the nitty gritty 
-
-### Design 
-
-We create look-and-feel designs, and flexible layouts that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. We create designs iteratively and use predominantly HTML and CSS so we won’t waste time mocking up every template as a static visual. We may use static visuals to indicate a look-and-feel direction (colour, texture and typography.) We call that ‘design atmosphere.’
-
-You’ll have two or more weekly opportunities to review our work and provide feedback. If, at any stage, you’re not happy with the direction our work is taking, you’ll pay us in full for everything we’ve produced until that point and cancel this contract.
-
-### Text content 
-
-We’re not responsible for writing or inputting any text copy. If you’d like us to write new content or input text for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
-
-### Photographs 
-
-You should supply graphic files in an editable, vector digital format. You should supply photographs in a high resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, we can suggest stock libraries. If you’d like us to search for photographs for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
-
-### HTML, CSS and Javascript
-
-We deliver templates developed from HTML5 markup, CSS2.1 + 3 stylesheets for styling and unobtrusive Javascript for feature detection, poly-fills and behaviours.
-
-### Browser testing
-
-Browser testing no longer means attempting to make a website look the same in browsers of different capabilities or on devices with different size screens. It does mean ensuring that a person’s experience of a design should be appropriate to the capabilities of a browser or device.
-
-### Desktop browser testing
-
-We test our work in current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Internet Explorer), Mozilla Firefox and Opera. We’ll also test to ensure Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 for Windows users get an appropriate, possibly different, experience. We’ll implement a single column design for Internet Explorer 7 and below for Windows and we won’t test in other older browsers unless you specify otherwise. If you need an enhanced design for an older browser, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
-
-### Mobile browser testing
-
-Testing popular small-screen devices is essential in ensuring that a person’s experience of a design is appropriate to the capabilities of the device they’re using. We test our work in:
-
-iOS: Safari, Google Chrome and Opera Mini 
- Android 4.1: Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera Mini
-Android 3.2: Browser, Firefox and Opera Mini
-
-We currently don’t test Blackberry OS or Blackberry QNX, Opera Mobile, Symbian or other mobile browsers. If you need us to test using these, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
-
-### Technical support
-
-We’re not a website hosting company so we don’t offer support for website hosting, email or other services relating to hosting. You may already have professional hosting and you might even manage that hosting in-house; if you do, great. If you don’t, we can set up an account for you at one of our preferred hosting providers. We can set up your site on a server, plus any statistics software such as Google Analytics and we can provide a separate estimate for that. Then, the updates to, and management of that server will be up to you. 
-
-### Changes and revisions 
-
-We know from experience that fixed-price contracts are rarely beneficial to you, as they often limit you to your earliest ideas. We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind. The price at the beginning of this contract is based on the length of time we estimate we’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told us you want to achieve, but we’re happy to be flexible. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, that won’t be a problem as we’ll provide a separate estimate for that.
-
-### Legal stuff 
-
-We can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free and so we can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised us of them. Finally, if any provision of this contract shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this contract and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
-
-Phew.
-
-### Copyrights 
-
-First, you guarantee that all elements of text, images or other artwork you provide are either owned by your good selves, or that you’ve permission to use them.
-
-Then, when your final payment has cleared, copyright will be automatically assigned as follows:
-
-You’ll own the visual elements that we create for this project. We’ll give you source files and finished files and you should keep them somewhere safe as we’re not required to keep a copy. You own all elements of text, images and data you provided, unless someone else owns them. 
-
-We’ll own the unique combination of these elements that constitutes a complete design and we’ll license that you, exclusively and in perpetuity for this project only, unless we agree otherwise. We can provide a separate estimate for that.
-
-We love to show off our work and share what we’ve learned with other people, so we reserve the right, with your permission, to display and link to your project as part of our portfolio and to write about it on websites, in magazine articles and in books.
-
-### Payments 
-
-We’re sure you understand how important it is as a small business that you pay the invoices that we send you promptly. As we’re also sure you’ll want to stay friends, you agree to stick tight to the following payment schedule.
-
-[Payment schedule]
-
-### But where’s all the horrible small print? 
-
-Just like a parking ticket, you can’t transfer this contract to anyone else without our permission. This contract stays in place and need not be renewed. If for some reason one part of this contract becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of it remain in place. 
-
-Although the language is simple, the intentions are serious and this contract is a legal document under exclusive jurisdiction of [English and Welsh] courts. 
-
-Oh and don’t forget those men with big dogs.

+
+## Description of this Contract
+
+This contract is not meant to trick or deceive you; the intention is purely to protect both parties. I have tried to keep the wording as plain as possible, but if anything is unclear, please let me know and I will be more than happy to clarify it with you. Also, until you sign it, please feel free to request to change bits of it to suit your requirements.
+
+In short, [client name] is contracting me, [my name], to [description of my role].
+
+By signing this, you are confirming that you have the power and ability to enter into this contract on behalf of your organisation.
+
+You also acknowledge that I will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party or break any laws.
+
+## Services
+
+I will develop [prototype/website] using HTML and CSS. [If prototypes:] These will be tested and intended for the most current, up to date version of Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari and Firefox, but will not be intended for older browsers. I will also optimise the prototypes to work on mobile devices and tablets. [If website:] I will test the sites in the current major browsers, specifically the most recent version of Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer versions 8 and 9. I will be testing that they are accessible and work in a similar way across these browsers, but not necessarily in an identical way. I will also test the site in the default browser on the iPhone and iPad, and on Android’s default browser. I will not be testing in antiquated or uncommon browsers unless otherwise specified. 
+
+If you need to show the same or similar visual design to users across these browsers, it will take me longer to develop so I will need to charge you for additional coding and testing at my daily rate on top of any original estimate.
+
+Any estimated price quoted is based on the number of days I predict it will take to complete everything listed in a specification. If you decide at some point down the line that you would like to make additions to any original specification we have both agreed on, this won't be a problem, and you will be charged at a daily or hourly rate (as appropriate) on top of that original estimation. You will need to put your requests in writing so that I can keep track of changes.
+
+I cannot guarantee any improvement to a search engine ranking, nor can I promise to get a site higher up or to the 'top of Google', but I build every site in a way that is accessible to search engines in an effort to increase its chances. (I concentrate on how people use a site, not how they get there.)
+
+I may need to assign sub contractors to the project to ensure it is completed on time, and in this event, I would need to disclose information about the project to them.
+
+## Deadlines
+
+By working with you, I am warranting that I have the experience and ability to perform the services required by this contract, and that I will run the project in a professional, competent and timely manner.
+
+However, deadlines work two ways I can't be responsible for a missed deadline or launch date if you have been late at supplying materials or information, or if you have not approved or signed off work on schedule at any stage. You agree to provide me with everything I need to complete the project such as feedback, content, text and images as and when I need them, and in the format I have requested. You also agree to follow the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract.
+
+## Copyright
+
+You guarantee that any text, graphics, video footage, designs, trademarks, or any other content you provide me for publishing in the project are owned by your organisation, or that you have permission to use them for the purpose intended.
+
+When I receive your final payment, the copyright of the work I have produced for that project is assigned to you as follows:
+
+You own any graphics and visual elements that I have created for you. You must store a copy of these because I am not required to keep them. You also own anything that you have provided to me, unless someone else owns them. 
+
+The code I have written cannot be resold without permission. If I use any code or images that I have not produced myself for this project, such as from a code library or in a content management system, or any stock images with their own licence, this belongs to its respective owner, and their original licence must be retained and respected.
+
+## Authorisation
+
+In order for me to work on your site, I may need access to your hosting account and domain registrar (if you have one), and have any necessary 'write permission' for the site directory or programs that need to be accessed for this project.
+
+During projects, I often write blog posts or mention the project on my personal website to help others learn about web design, and also to get feedback from others and help create a 'buzz' about the project before it is completed. I may also add it to my online portfolio on my website. I will be sensitive and considerate about what I post, but if you would prefer I didn't mention the project online to others, or if you’d like me to hold back until after launch, please let me know.
+
+## Maintenance
+
+Any work requested after the project has been completed will be charged at my daily rate.
+I can't guarantee that all the web pages will always be error free, but if you do spot any errors, you can request minor modifications and corrections to be made if they are requested within a two-week period after my last day working on the project.
+
+## Payment Schedule
+
+You are hiring me on a contractual basis at my rate of [my rate] a day, and I will send an invoice at the end of each month for the days I have worked during that month.
+
+I'm sure you'll understand that as I am working as a sole trader, it is vital that the people I work for pay the invoices I send them by the due date on the invoice [on receipt/14 days/30 days]. Please pay in [currency] by BACS. Payment instructions will be printed on the invoice.
+
+If the invoice goes overdue, an automated reminder will be sent, and I will start charging the Bank of England’s base rate of interest for the period that the invoice is overdue.
+
+You agree to reimburse me for any additional purchases or expenses necessary for completion of the work, such as special fonts, stock photography, software, train tickets etc. (I will ask for permission from you first before making any of these purchases.)
+
+## Limited Liability
+
+You agree that any material submitted for publication will not contain any illegal or unethical materials, including any infringement of privacy or libel. You also assure that the site will not publish such material after completion.
+You maintain responsibility for data backups and restoration. If you wish to claim for damages, losses and causes of actions, this shall not exceed the amount that you paid for the project.
+
+## Signatures
+
+Although I have aimed to keep the language plain and simple, the intentions are serious and this contract is a legal document under exclusive jurisdiction of English courts.
+
+The undersigned confirm that they have read, understood and agreed to the requirements in this contract.

+You ([customer name]), located at [customer address] are hiring us ([company name]) located at [company address] to [design and develop a web site] for the estimated total price of [total] as outlined in our previous correspondence. Of course it’s a little more complicated, but we’ll get to that.
+
+What do both parties agree to do? 
+
+You: You have the authority to enter into this contract on behalf of yourself, your company or your organisation. You’ll give us with everything we need to complete the project as and when and in the format we need it. You’ll review our work, provide feedback and approval in a timely manner too. Deadlines work two ways, so you’ll also be bound by dates we set together. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract.
+
+Us: We have the experience and ability to do everything we’ve agreed with you and we’ll do it all in a professional and timely manner. We’ll endeavour to meet every deadline that’s set and on top of that we'll maintain the confidentiality of everything you give us.
+
+Getting down to the nitty gritty 
+
+Design 
+
+We create look-and-feel designs, and flexible layouts that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. We create designs iteratively and use predominantly HTML and CSS so we won’t waste time mocking up every template as a static visual. We may use static visuals to indicate a look-and-feel direction (colour, texture and typography.) We call that ‘design atmosphere.’
+
+You’ll have two or more weekly opportunities to review our work and provide feedback. If, at any stage, you’re not happy with the direction our work is taking, you’ll pay us in full for everything we’ve produced until that point and cancel this contract.
+
+Text content 
+
+We’re not responsible for writing or inputting any text copy. If you’d like us to write new content or input text for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
+
+Photographs 
+
+You should supply graphic files in an editable, vector digital format. You should supply photographs in a high resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, we can suggest stock libraries. If you’d like us to search for photographs for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
+
+HTML, CSS and Javascript
+
+We deliver templates developed from HTML5 markup, CSS2.1 + 3 stylesheets for styling and unobtrusive Javascript for feature detection, poly-fills and behaviours.
+
+Browser testing
+
+Browser testing no longer means attempting to make a website look the same in browsers of different capabilities or on devices with different size screens. It does mean ensuring that a person’s experience of a design should be appropriate to the capabilities of a browser or device.
+
+Desktop browser testing
+
+We test our work in current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Internet Explorer), Mozilla Firefox and Opera. We’ll also test to ensure Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 for Windows users get an appropriate, possibly different, experience. We’ll implement a single column design for Internet Explorer 7 and below for Windows and we won’t test in other older browsers unless you specify otherwise. If you need an enhanced design for an older browser, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
+
+Mobile browser testing
+
+Testing popular small-screen devices is essential in ensuring that a person’s experience of a design is appropriate to the capabilities of the device they’re using. We test our work in:
+
+iOS: Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera Mini  Android 4.1: Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera Mini
+Android 3.2: Browser, Firefox and Opera Mini
+
+We currently don’t test Blackberry OS or Blackberry QNX, Opera Mobile, Symbian or other mobile browsers. If you need us to test using these, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
+
+Technical support
+
+We’re not a website hosting company so we don’t offer support for website hosting, email or other services relating to hosting. You may already have professional hosting and you might even manage that hosting in-house; if you do, great. If you don’t, we can set up an account for you at one of our preferred hosting providers. We can set up your site on a server, plus any statistics software such as Google Analytics and we can provide a separate estimate for that. Then, the updates to, and management of that server will be up to you. 
+
+Changes and revisions 
+
+We know from experience that fixed-price contracts are rarely beneficial to you, as they often limit you to your earliest ideas. We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind. The price at the beginning of this contract is based on the length of time we estimate we’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told us you want to achieve, but we’re happy to be flexible. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, that won’t be a problem as we’ll provide a separate estimate for that.
+
+Legal stuff 
+
+We can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free and so we can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised us of them. Finally, if any provision of this contract shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this contract and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
+
+Phew.
+
+Copyrights 
+
+First, you guarantee that all elements of text, images or other artwork you provide are either owned by your good selves, or that you’ve permission to use them.
+
+Then, when your final payment has cleared, copyright will be automatically assigned as follows:
+
+You’ll own the visual elements that we create for this project. We’ll give you source files and finished files and you should keep them somewhere safe as we’re not required to keep a copy. You own all elements of text, images and data you provided, unless someone else owns them. 
+
+We’ll own the unique combination of these elements that constitutes a complete design and we’ll license that you, exclusively and in perpetuity for this project only, unless we agree otherwise. We can provide a separate estimate for that.
+
+We love to show off our work and share what we’ve learned with other people, so we reserve the right, with your permission, to display and link to your project as part of our portfolio and to write about it on websites, in magazine articles and in books.
+
+Payments 
+
+We’re sure you understand how important it is as a small business that you pay the invoices that we send you promptly. As we’re also sure you’ll want to stay friends, you agree to stick tight to the following payment schedule.
+
+[Payment schedule]
+
+But where’s all the horrible small print? 
+
+Just like a parking ticket, you can’t transfer this contract to anyone else without our permission. This contract stays in place and need not be renewed. If for some reason one part of this contract becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of it remain in place. 
+
+Although the language is simple, the intentions are serious and this contract is a legal document under exclusive jurisdiction of [English and Welsh] courts. 
+
+Oh and don’t forget those men with big dogs.
+
+The dotted line 
+
+Signed by and on behalf of [company name] 
+Signed by and on behalf of [customer name] 
+Date [date]
+
+Everyone should sign above and keep a copy for their records.
