A Modern Contract for IT Consultants and Clients

Author: erics, Posted April 10th, 2013 at 8:51:14am

I work for you and many other clients at the same time.

I hold your interests in high regard.

Our relationship will be one of honesty and integrity, with best intentions and no deception intended on either side.

We will communicate as much as possible so that expectations and goals are clear to both sides.

I am a professional entrusted with the health and well-being of your company in many ways. If you do not trust me, we should not be working together.

I am not your employee, I work for myself.

Your stuff (including but not limited to: code, people, customers, software and hardware) stays yours and private to you.

The work that gets done for you is yours, and you must pay for it.

I get work done on time, you pay on time.

If we must part ways, neither side says bad things or does anything to harm the other.

Play nice, act like adults and treat each other with respect and dignity.
