I'll be opening up my business soon and I was wondering if anyone could share a very basic contract or information form they give to the clients. I'm looking for ideas and things to include on my own contract or somthing to help me get started. I'm also willing to pay for help.

mark didnt i send you t&c's???

or are you referring to something like an application form?

Hi Peter! Thanks!

I'm also looking for somthing like a Wedding Info Sheet. I mean I have a god idea on what I want. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

did i send you the wedding production info sheet i have drawn up??
if not drop me your email and ill send it along

Thanks Peter. Actually I don't think I got that one. Thanks for all the help.

Hi, I live in a very different market so pricing will be very different, but I could use some help setting up my standard contract too. So, if it's still time, please send me a copy too. info@canal.cl . Thank You very much.

i.

It's not a serious need for myself, but if you have time could you send it my way, jeff_smallwood@hotmail.com. Thanks a bunch for your time if you get around to it :)

plse send it to voodoo1694@hotmail.com too. Thanks much!

I would greatly appreciate if any one of you that received a copy of this contract would send me a copy also.

dangutwein@comcast.net

I'd hate to be a "me too", but... Also, any generic contract agreements would be nice as well, if anyone could send one to me I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance

Hey Peter,

If you still are able, could you e-mail me that info too? Sure to appreciate it!
jclaytonstansberry@msn.com

Thanks a bunch! And, sorry I'm so late to find this thread...

Clay

Has anyone actually got one yet? I ask for a me also back in Sept and never got an email. If anyone else has gotten it could you please forward it to me at

dan.wt@verizon.net

Any chance of someone emailing me a copy as well. Very much appreciated.

mikelugton@msn.com

I apologise in advance, but pls, no more requests. I work 20hrs a day, and deal with at least 10 clients a week using these contracts and dont have the time to check this forum everyday for more requests of it. I havent even finished my website :(
(Thats my whinge for the night...)

if i get around to it, ill send it along

peter, i totally understand what you're going through. however, whenever you have any time, please send along to abriones@midway.com.

Thanks!

I've got a few extra copies of the contract. For a limited time only. If Peter doesn't mind, I could send it out to those with an interest. If Peter would rather I didn't, he should let me know.
I would prefer not to be e-mailed directly. Those with an interest should post on the board.

Tell you what, fellows...

If one of you guys who already has this stuff, if you can send it to me, then I'll make it available for download from my site, that is assuming that it's all right with Peter, who will of course receive full credit for this. Just let me know. This should end the email onslaught for all concerned -- hope this helps,

Chris, you've got mail.

With all proper regards to Peter Jefferson, this is his material and it will remain on my site *only* if he says it's okay. Which means, the file is subject to immediate removal if Peter would rather not have it made publicly available. In the meantime, you can stop buggin' him by email and just hit the link (on a PC: right-click and choose "save as").

Thanks to Dave Largent -- hope this helps,



Moderator Note:Peter has requested that his contract be removed and is not available for download. I've deleted the links in several of the posts as well.

Jeff Donald

thanks chris

would yo be able to drop me an email and i will send a refined contract (smaller downlaod) with an application form (2 part contract)

this should make things a little easier for all

Peter, you've got mail.

so do u mate :)

Thanks for posting the contract. I'm curious. Is this just a little levity, or was this inserted based on some experience?: If the Client elects to “Steal the Camera”, an additional refundable deposit of $800 is required to cover insurance, and any loss or damage which may or may not occur. Studio-D will film the “theft” and follow the client. Within reason, the resulting footage may be used at the Clients Discretion within the finished product.

Hey Chris, could I borrow some of the content from and use it. I really need a decent contract. Some of the stuff in there is very vital. I was really wondering how to handle the whole, 'if lighting zaps my camera, what will happen.' Thanks in advance.

Hahahaha

sorry mate, thats jsut one of the elements which i include on my packages.. i give a camera to the bridal party.. they run amok at the reception, i film it.. we try to play act it.. bit like a comedy flooorshow.. works great with the best man or groom. i usually leave a 3rd cam on a pod.. and Groomsman pretends to gingerly walk up.. (all the whle im filmin his sneakiness) then he grabs it an runs around while its recording.. i chase hime .. lol

Very funny shit..


As for using the contract for your own business requirements, pls do so at ur own discretion, however, please do not copy it word for word. us eur discretion for wha u require within ur own biz requirements,

Thanks for letting me borrow some of it. It's a little overwhelming trying to come up with a contract. I had thought of a lawyer, but they may not know all of the particulars that I need. I found some freebees laying around and have been picking from those to word out mine. I just wanted to use the ideas you have. I really thought it was thorough putting the part about the camera placement being up to the discretion of <insert business name> You contract has given me some good direction to think about.


About the person 'stealing' the camera, that'll have to wait untill I have enough equipment to spare, lest they trip over the rug and shatter my little camera all over the floor. :}

yeah you wouldnt want taht, which is why i use my old cheapy family handycam.. id NEVER hand my DVX to anyone.. lol

footage doesnt have to be perfect, on teh contrary, i WANT it to look awful.. like home video.. lol i then mask it with a recording frame... interesting stuff...

as for taking elements, im ok with it so long as people jsut dont leech it like vultures.. dont get me wrong, im all for helping people, but sometimes when people take advantage of you it makes you wanna scream..

which brings me another subject, but ill shut up now..

Peter has requested that the contract be removed and I've deleted the links to it, to avoid confusion. I am also locking this thread, so as to avoid future confusion should someone else make a contract available. If you're interested in a Wedding Contact please start a new thread.
