I am awaiting (this week) a contract with a major local entertainment company. Aside from my particulars (name, address, tax numbers, etc) I had to supply proof of auto liability insurance in case I have an accident while on their property. I don't object, but that was a new one for me.

My last contract with this company included six pages of what I couldn't do with any work I created for them (basically show it to anyone) or exactly how I was (or rather wasn't) allowed to speak their name in connection with my own business.

But in practice there is a gray area… If I followed their last deal to the letter I wouldn't have gotten this new deal (as in "My demo reel includes snippets of what I created for your company in the past. Please take notice!").
