I am getting back into the business after a 7 year hiatus. I had worked with my father and my uncle for over 10 years at that point and know the cleaning/equipment side inside and out. However, I was never involved much in the contract/bid/estimate process. I have been working on a disclaimer/contract form for my customers and am getting stumped. I know I'm leaving a lot of important items and wording out. Could anyone offer me an example of how to write it up? What are you guys using? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

I have an MS Word file that I use. It is based on several examples that I have found while surfing the boards. We have it printed in triplicate so that the customer can get one copy as a quote. The second copy goes to the customer as well for proof of payment if they accept the quote. and the third copy goes back to the office.

Since I can't seem to upload the document here, you'll have to send me your e-mail address and I will be happy to share it with you.

I hope it helps.

Easiest way to post any file would be to FTP upload it to a site then simply insert a URL to point to it. Same as posting a URL to a photo. The computer side I know. I just completed a 7 year run as a Network Analyst for a comany here in the Phoenix area. Good luck!

The other option is to rename the file using an acceptable extension such as .jpg or .zip. Then upload the file with instructions to rename the extension back to the original .doc. This would be quite effective for any style of document. It is common practice to get around firewalls and such with .exe and .doc files because most firewall and security rules will strip off anything with those extensions due to virus attachments.

I would verify with the board moderators before actually doing this just for that reason.

Just my .02.

John Browne how about sending a copy to me too, would like to see yours.

I am in the process of making up some sort of agreement so the more I know and see of others the better mine can be.

I do use MS Word.

Thanks,

Jon

I thought the moderators of these boards might help us out on this. But since they haven't, and I know the security & virus reasons, I would be willing to post them on my site.

I will start a "Contactor's Page", but before I do, I think it would be a good idea to have a couple of other submission from other people.

If I get at least five files from the people on these boards, I will create the page and upload all of the files to my site and post links to each.

Thanks,

John

John Browne,

Mike Hughes did offer to help and he is a Moderator and the Assist. Admin. for this board.

You should be able to upload it here as a text file, as far as I know that function is not turned off.

Did you make sure you had text file and not jpg set for upload?

If it still does not upload Email it to Mike Hughes and he will get it posted.

I dont have the time for this. The best way would be to put it on some site, and give it a URL.

John, before you go making a contractor's page on your site and publishing legal documents like that and suggesting that others use them, you might want to reconsider based on liablility.........at least put a decent disclaimer on there.............you never know what crazy stuff someone can come up with against you. Sad, but true.
