I’m curious to ask how often people on Bubble use contracts when dealing with others that may provide them a service of some sort in exchange for money.
I always use contracts because an agreement is only as strong as the paper its written on. Each party understands their role and responsibility. Payment terms are spelled out. And, should conflict arise its spelled out how resolution can be achieved.
If someone asked you to sign an agreement would you become offended that your honesty is being called into question?
Would really love to hear what the community thinks about this topic!
I don’t mind signing agreements. Basically, when the user pays for services, they have to accept my agreements (terms and conditions, privacy policy, etc) on my site. When they book a session with me they are accepting my cancelation policy, which is an agreement. If you need to add your own agreement as well, that seems perfectly fine to me. It would just take me longer to look through the agreement depending on the length and complexity. I would say, if it is in plain english, not legalese, I am much more comfortable with it as well. That’s my take on it, I would never think you were questioning my honesty.
Mine are all the same, they don’t change. When the user wants their own agreement, I ask them to send it over and I will sign it after making sure I read it over throughly.
You can create amendments with Bubble if you want, I suppose. Just depends how you have things set up.
All of my clients accept my terms and conditions, but to have client request their own agreement is about 1% or so. They are always welcome to do that though. I will never say ‘no’ to sending me over an agreement, it just takes longer because I have to read it over.
I think that this will be the best option because you’re who is worried about the work and all the related to it, so you can do it as you will feel comfortable and safe and don’t spend a lot. And I will not spend valuable time that can be lost.
what has me puzzled is if people really do send each other any amount of money without any sort of agreement? But in this case the guy is saying that I’m worried about the work. I guess now I should be if your a designer and doing business without contracts? Maybe I will be his first commercial customer and he doesn’t know what is needed in business? And to think I should do his donkey work and make his agreement for his business? Wow!
Well, maybe you can keep looking around? I would be concerned because of the way they were communicating. Seems sort of disrespectful to me.
If someone asked me for a more detailed contract then what is on my site, I would try to make one for them and send it to them. Maybe they really don’t want the job?
If the client didn’t like the contract I sent, they can always amend it and return it to me. I think that is a normal way of doing contract work.
My search method has been following what others say about someone on the forums and then do the behind the scenes work of vetting the person and determining if something can work out by contacting them directly. But in this case you can vet someone only to find their attitude sucks.
Well wait a minute I’m not crying about it! Actually, stuff like this helps hone your skill in looking for what you need. But it is apparent there is an age group that thinks things like this are a waste of time and an inconvenience. I know people over 40 wouldn’t have an issue with providing a contract.
I am sure there are more out there that agree with it too. They are just too busy reading their agreement that someone just sent over for them to sign right now. Just kidding.
In all seriousness, I am sure there are others out there.
