8 Hard to Develop Contracts that Keep You from Getting Burned by
“Bad People” or “Bad Situations”

1. Tough legal contract: you’ll want to use this as your starting point for your contracts, and you can customize it, add or delete sections as you need.
   
   
2. Do you know what to say or do when your client asks for your raw, master files? Designers have always had trouble explaining to clients that they get the finished artwork only. I wrote this to explain to clients why they don’t get the raw artwork and keep you from having to give away artwork that’s rightfully yours.
   
   
3. Looking to expand your business with more designers? Check out the “Hiring Sub Contractor Designers” and make sure you’re protecting yourself and your business.
   
   
4. Non-Disclosure Agreement: this is an essential, standard agreement that you’ll need to protect yourself from someone taking your ideas, artwork, etc.
   
   
5. If you ever decide to sell your raw, master files, you definitely want to make sure you don’t get the short end of the deal. Protect yourself with the “Selling your master artwork to a client” contract.
   
   
6. You know that what the client sees on their uncalibrated computer screen isn’t what they get on their printed collateral. Still clients will demand that you refund their money if the colors are even a little off. Protect yourself with the Pantone and Color Consistency Agreement, and avoid having to shell out money for something that wasn’t your fault.
   
   
7. Offering a refund to dissatisfied clients is a great way to attract business. Check out the Refund Policy Contract, and again, make sure you’re protected.
   
   
8. Offering flexible/extended terms will help you attract more clients. “The Extended terms, debit or credit card” contract will help you from getting burned by the wrong people.
