hey forum. i was wondering if somebody could give me some advice regarding contracts. in what form do you guys give the contract to your customers? do you use PDFs, a word document, fax it, mail it, email it, or........? i am hopefully going to be doing business with people all over the united states so having a customer sign a contract in person is not an option.

thanks a lot in advance

not really sure if this is "legally" bound but...

you could use a <textarea> to show the terms of business, and a checkbox stating that they have read and agree to the terms of business.

Look at the way all the 'big' websites do it.

They state thier terms and conditions of the contract, then have a button saying 'I Agree' and another saying 'Cancel'.

If they click 'I Agree' you will have to keep a record of when they pressed the button for future reference.


This is the end of the form when you sign up for a new hotmail account:
