I had one developed for my consultancy years ago that was designed to be acceptable to large (10,000+) and small (1) firms alike, to avoid back and forth with legal departments which of course would cost me too much money. Almost every large company signed it after reviewing it, as is. And of course, the small ones did right away.<BR>

use? Or should I try to work one up from past contracts I've been party<BR>
to?<BR>

Best regards,<BR>
