When I used to do FREE metal pickups, I used to tell clients just to call me when they needed me. No contracts to sign. However, I have lost 2 good clients because there was no contracts, and they decided to give the stuff to their family/friends. So, I am done giving away my clients really.

Granted, I will have a lawyer finalize things, so the contracts could stand up in court, but I am curious to know how you all came up with yours?



I ask, because the last few times I asked them to draft me certain documents, they just gave me a look like "wth" and it took a bit to explain to them.

They are good, but o lord!

I will be making the contracts good for either 6 months or 1 year terms. Which can be voided upon mutual written agreement from both sides. However, if say the client decides to sell to abc recycling (fake company), then I can take them to court for damages (wouldn't really, but they dont know that).
