Devon: Now I remember that word! ;)

Thanks for the document sources. I will check them out. Do you know if you could apply them on international business activities.

You're welcome!

The contract basics should be the same from one country to another, so international contracts would have the same sort of contents - however, how they're applied and interpreted can vary widely. The best bet is to use a template to get your foundation, and then speak to legal counsel in your home country to make sure you're covering all the particulars.

Devon: What is the meaning of the word, heinie? Have you found a site with standard templates for creating a contract?

Hi there! Heinie is what my Grandma called a tush/bum/butt. So for me, having a contract is all about keeping your butt covered!

I've found that most of the contracts you can find on docracy, or rocketlawyer are adequate. The important thing is to not use them entirely as-is, but to make sure that the contents actually work for your specific type of business. (For example, if the template refund language doesn't match how you want to handle refunds...change it!)
