| My big issue is protecting rights for demo reel, and any restrictions on who else you can work for. Watch out for both. Sheesh, it’s like they don’t “get” that you have a right to work, much less need to, and unless they’re negotiating a long-term buy-out, they need to respect the freelance marketplace, which turns on being able to market oneself. carey On Nov 13, 2013, at 2:46 PM, Jim Curtis <jpcurtis@me.com> wrote: > I don't.

Some companies want you to indemnify them if you get hurt on their premises or locations they pay you to work. I don't think that's ethical. But, the name of the game is to protect them from any liabilities, and they tend to be very one sided in their favor. The three times I was asked to sign contracts, my clients accepted strike-throughs on two of them. I walked away from the third one. > > > On Nov 13, 2013, at 2:28 PM, Rachel Max <rachelmax@mac.com> wrote: > >> Hello Freelancers - do you ever have a lawyer look over contracts sent by clients? >> >> Thanks, >> Rachel >> +---End of message---+ >> To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> > > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
