if im selling something what kind of contract do I need?

Question

im selling custom music but i have an obligation that once iv'e started the process of creating for a buyer that if they cancel they must pay a fee how do i write a contract for that

Answer 1

That would depend on the value and type of merchandise you are selling.
You would want one to protect you and probably the buyer would like some sort of insurance that the fine item you unloaded will do what you claimed. You would also like to state that certain things are not covered or maybe nothing at all. When I sell a used car, I usually state as is, no warranty. Buyer understands and agrees to these terms. In other words, when the bumper hits the road, you are on your own. If it were a pretty new vehicle, I would alter it a bit, but not that much. Used stuff craps out whenever it feels like it.

Answer 2

That depends entirely upon what you are selling, how much you are selling it for, to whom and under what terms. Regardless, it needs to be in writing, signed by all parties and contain a clear definition of the terms of sale.

Standard contract forms can be found at your local library, Staples or online at any number of "free legal help" websites (for a price, of course).

Answer 3

Get your money up front. I've learned a lot in my life and that is once the service has been rendered, people don't want to pay.

That's why I always get my money up front. I don't float money to clients, money talks ******** walks.

Make sure your contract doesn't allow for too many changes from your client because it will drive you nuts.
