You may want to consider subscribing to the Business List as we discuss 
these issues as well as many others critical to your business 
success.  Check out the Business List resources:

<http://www.hwg.org/lists/hwg-business/faq.html>

Once the archive problem is resolved, just search for "contracts" and you 
will find literally 100s of messages on this topic.

Yep!  Without a doubt!  The validity of your contract will determine if you 
are protected properly.  A incorrectly or poorly written contract is 
basically useless.

You do need a lawyer who is well versed in online issues.  I cannot tell 
you how often our contract has come in handy to protect us or allow us the 
flexibility to run our business as we need to.  If the contract that you 
use does not cover all the details of /your specific business/ or is not 
legally binding you really are not protected at all.  And, that is bad, 
very bad.
