so, this is the current state of a project I started long ago in
a) response to all the "sturm und drang" of cake mishaps/sagas/client done me wrong etc. and.
b) in hopes of some day maybe having my own caking venture.
DISCLAIMER: it is NOT a legal contract for you to use straight off -- it MUST be vetted by your lawyer to see that it conforms to the laws in your state! (example -- some states allow deposits but not retainers, others just the opposite. some allow non-refund deposit/retainer and others do not -- so off to the lawyer this MUST go)
THANK YOU!!!! to each and every one of you who ever posted a clause, sentence, phrase, paragraph or linked to a full contract. Without your gracious sharing this could not have come into existence or continue to evolve. (My way of saying I have freely "borrowed"/copied and modified to make it as you see it and can't even begin to name all the people who's work was used!)
Feel free to comment, suggest changes, adapt, etc. as you see fit (example changing it from just one cake a weekend to however many you do)
I've also included my first stab at the delivery wavier (for those insisting on self pick-up)
Please take note of how each clause has a place for the client to initial to indicate the clause has been covered in the discussion -- just extra insurance!
Sad it has to be so long to deal with all the cake muggles!
if you have access to Adobe Acrobat, it should read the pdf and let you extract the text. (as should many other pdf conversion utilities)
of course that will loose all the original "pretty" formatting.
so....let's see if this works.....
go to this link: https://drop.io/cc_contract/login
Password: cruffles
(case sensitive )
(hint -- copy from here and paste there)
that should let you in and then you can download both the contract and wavier as Word files.
(if these drops work -- it could just be an answer to sharing Word files on here)
