commission/trade sub forum?

[Hellblazer]

For paid services, it is ideal for both parties to sign a contract to have a legally binding document that both sides can rely on. For trading, similar agreements may be made. I personally recommend setting this up to be on the safe side. Please note that, after all, the use of this forum happens at your own risk.

Things to include in a contract (Click to View)

A contract does not have to include a ton of fine print but it helps outlining the project, what you will be offering (or requesting), and the costs. It needs to be signed by both parties. The following is a list of elements to include in a contract.
Contact information of both parties.
Outline what the job entails. Write what each party is responsible for. This passage should define clearly what work is to be done. If, for example, the client asks for additional work not listed in the contract, write up a new contract to make sure you are getting fair compensation for the work.
Time frames. Both parties should agree upon a timeline for the project. It does not have to be complicated but figuring out due dates beforehand really helps with the project.
Who owns the finished project? With paid work, you will have to settle for a license which defines what the client may use the project for. Typical licenses are limited licenses (the creator retains all copyrights and defines what the project may be used for) and exclusive licenses (it is up to the client what he wants to do with it or not because he essentially becomes the owner of the project). After all, with exclusive licenses, a client could resell the project if he wishes. This is why settling this in a contract is important to achieve appropriate reimbursement.
Both parties will have to sign and date the contract. Each party gets their own copy of the contract to keep.
If these points have been met appropriately, it's time to get working!

Oh man seriously, monetary business, contracts...?
Oh gosh, this will SURELY destroy LFE... This isn't even the sole purpose of LFE, just seems like another buff upto it. If something ditches up, even though you said that

There are usually chances that something will go horribly wrong.

Just my opinion though, so yeah..
