Re: Give A Form, Take A Form

I have been using a tweaked version of this form for years- we must have "borrowed" it from the same place.
I also include a copy of it- with "sample" across it- in every contract package.

Yep, straight out of Gary Ransone's book, The Contractor's Legal Kit. A must read for anyone who need help with contracts.

Re: Give A Form, Take A Form

Thanks, precision. My mind is in the gutter as I am being forced to go on vacation tomorrow to someplace warm. When I get back, I'll find out how to attach files the right way.

Note to file: If you are working on imp[roving your contracts, get the above referenced book, The Contractor's Legal Kit. About $90 and worth every dollar. All forms comne on a disc and you can modify them anyway you want.

Re: Give A Form, Take A Form

Here's a generic order form we've used in the past. It auto calculates the line items based on price and quantity, adds tax and gives you the grand total. Might be helpful to some. Just delete the logos and add your own.

Re: Give A Form, Take A Form

Hi all,

I think I got the design (borrow ) from some professional site or form company somewhere in the past.

Please feel free to use it.

UNHIQUE

The form you have posted has content copied directly from our copyrighted forms. You know.... the company that you "borrowed" from and now encourage everyone who downloads this form to "please fell free and use it". Did it ever occur to you that not only did you NOT have the right to use our content for your own purposes in the first place, but you are now distributing copyrighted material through this forum making everyone who downloads and uses "your" form an accomplice to your blatant copyright violation???

and by the way...

To all those who think it is clever and a smart idea to "borrow" content without knowing the legal and business reasons for the content to be there in the first place... This contract that UNHIQUE has put together using "borrowed" content and is offering to you is completely illegal in California and anyone who uses this has absolutely no protection from CSLB (California State Licensing Board), from the courts, and from a "bad" customer. In fact, anyone who uses this contract for work in CA, could quite possible be doing the job for NOTHING since it does not meet the legal burden to be a valid contract!

The forms that we offer are the result of over 60 combined years in the construction business, you know, the "school of hard knocks" all of us in the construction business attend daily, and hundreds of hours with construction attorneys as well as typesetters, software experts... etc. For someone to cutely say they "borrowed", wink, wink, this, cheapens what we do, cheapens what you do, cheapens this forum and indeed, cheapens the entire construction industry.

Shame on you UNHIQUE!

I agree that is not the right thing to do. Would you like me to pull the file from his post?

Re: Give A Form, Take A Form

stealing the form to use and the feel free to use it was not appropriate at all. We can view the form at www.actcontractorsforms.com? If so direct us to the page or Please go ahead and paste up the image, we may want to buy this form.
