Has anyone ever used an online service like this?

My contract is about 4 pages long and I had the lawyers of our Central Bank go over it when i did a project for them. (same one with all the plants) Im pretty happy with it now

I'll have a contract in place by my next project. I would rather forgive something that's in a contract than just jump through hoops. Today's project, the client, when I think we are done, said she has someone else to look it over first. I also went through changes to the model, which was built from drawings that they provided. I modeled it and sent a gray scale for approval, which was approved, an now they want to add windows and remove corner trim. I have been reading about contract and three things I read were important to include. First, a single person contact is a must, revision fee, and scope creep clause.

Also, I want something about when a project is waiting for feedback, but feedback never comes. Kind of like a storage fee... I charge an amount per day, over above an beyond a normal amount of time, until the price of the job is met. Currently, I have 5 jobs in a holding pattern because they lost interest, or something. I need to add a watermark until I get paid. All five are color options, which would take me a little amount of time, but they take the image and they don't come back with their color options. I think they found a loophole. I get 1/2 down, so that second 1/2 is sitting there until the job is done, when technically it's not.

I think the 3rd page of my contract says that you have 2 working days to respond to my emails or i start charging a rate per day that i have to wait on them

Good. Now I know it's a normal request. I have a large project starting and five that can comeback and mess my new schedule up. I don't think clients get it, so a contract will help explain things. This whole 2-3 tiers of feedback is bogus. Usually, I start with an intern and then it works its way up the chain; each person has their own idea of what it should be. My current project, in my eyes is done, but now I find out that the designer hasn't seen it yet. No, we already went through the revision process and the image is DONE!

Sent my first contract, in a long time. New contract and I used Adobe's Send/Track/Sign, which is awesome!

Basically, you assign fields to people and send the form down the chain for signature. Once I filled out my fields and signed it, Adobe sends it to the next person on the list. Once the form makes its rounds, a sign copy is sent to everyone. Pretty sleek.
