Noob contract question

thanks in advance

Since none of us are attorneys and as such cannot give you legal advice--my post was for entertainment purposes only... :whistling

(And yes... always include the common CYA language regarding weather, acts of god, shortages of material, plagues, vengeful acts of ex wives/girlfriends, family strife, stubbed toes, etc. etc. etc.)
