Answer 1

There are millions of different contracts out there. I have no idea what kind of contract you have in mind. Here are 3 contract templates. If they don't suit, go to goggle and search contract, template, and whatever kind of specific contract you desire. http://www.designwise.net/webdesigner/contracts.htm

Answer 2

A contract is an agreement that sets forth the terms, obligations and rights of all parties.

A contract, at a minimum, needs to state who the parties are, and what each party is agreeing to do (or give, or not do, etc.)

The contract can also include statements of fact that both parties agree are true. Each statement is commonly prefaced by the word "WHEREAS".

For example, in a contract for the purchase and sale of a car, the parties may include the statement: "WHEREAS, both parties agree that the car needs new tires before it can be safely driven.". That makes it clear, during any later dispute, what the parties knew and understood when making the deal.

The whole point of a contract is to be clear, so that there is no ambiguity, doubt or confusion about what each party gets, and what each party is required to do.

The clearer and simpler you can make the contract the better. But also, the more complete you can make the contract, the better. That's a difficult balance to meet, which is why contract drafting is a particular specialty at law.

That depends on the type of contract. Office Depot or Office Max has blank contracts available. There is also CDs/software that help you write contracts. Something like Home Attorney. You might also try searching the web to find contract templates or contract examples. The web is nice and free, but watch for sites that want to charge money. Just skip those.

Answer 4

It depends on the type of contract. Every contract should have basic and very clear information on the expectations of both parties, and any contingencies (this will happen IF...) and must include the date that it is written as well as the date the expected service must be completed by. Both parties must sign the contract for it to be valid. There may be other laws that vary by state, type of contract, or other things, so you may want to research contract law in your state before you get started. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Contracts have really one goal: To make sense. It doesn't have to be written on any educated level and can include such things and what jurisdiction would hold authority (regardless of where actually agreed to), and have a meeting of the minds: Where you get something for something of value.

The value need not be equal so the more clear the contract and the more they can defend that you actually signed the contract in good faith the less if any relief you could litigate for.

I think they call that 'Buyer Beware'.

Answer 6

Keep in mind that any ambiguity in a contract goes in the favor of the one who DIDN'T write it. If, for example, you sell a car on payments and only specify 'that monthly payments will be made until it's paid off', that doesn't say how much each payment would be or when it will be paid off. The other party could give you $1.00 per month and satisfy his end of the deal if you wrote the contract. While you both may have understood the amount and timeframe, it's not in the contract, so you couldn't repo the car if he kept making $1.00 payments.

Answer 7

Well, Master JD, you get what you pay for.

Here it is:

The Parties:

The Specific Obligations of the Parties:

Time for Performance of the Obligations of Each Party:

Any Conditions Affecting Performance of the Obligations:

Time limit for Performance; Possible Rescission and Restitution:

Signatures of the Parties. Date of Signatures.

No charge, bud.

Answer 8

Ummmm it goes like this:

You this is me, you will do this for me by such and such date and time. Any Questions?


Sign and date.

However if you really want to do it correctly, get a lawyer, especially if alot of money is involved.

Answer 9

maybe try a local law school and get one of the students to write it up.
