How to write your Web Development Contract (Developer Centered) (Canada)

We include this 8 page template with IT/Software/Hardware Contract Pack and the Proposal Kit Professional. You will get more content and software automation for data merging, managing client documents, and creating proposals with line item quoting with a Contract Pack or the Professional.

Supported Operating Systems LogosDOWNLOADABLE, ONE-TIME COST, NO SUBSCRIPTION FEES
The original US Web Development Contract has been edited by an attorney in Canada to conform to Canadian law. Edit as needed to create your starting contract for your business. Each client may require modifications to the standard contract which you will need to deal with on a per-project basis. You may use the various contracts and agreements as starting points for use in other countries. You will need to have your own attorney review and edit the contracts for use in other countries and states where the standard pre-written versions will not be applicable. If you find an attorney who wants to redo everything from scratch their own way, consider getting a second opinion, unless you are in a country where US, English or Canadian law do not apply.

There is an alternate version of this contract which is more client-centered (however with minimal ownership rights for the developer).

There is also a short form (2 page) version available.
