Tips & Warnings

• It is always good to have a contract developed for the party that is having a service provided by the person or company providing the service. This will protect both parties in the agreement and many times if a person is receiving a service and they originially don't plan to pay then they will not agree to the terms of the contract. The contract deters those that have no intention of paying.
