Looking for example EE design/production legal contracts for a new project
(1/2) > >>

Hi,

I will be starting a project with a new client and it will be a more 'professional' project than the kind I usually do, so I want to draft a more professional looking legal contract.

Does anyone have any examples of good/generic EE project contracts that they are happy to share?
Or know of any good online resources for electronic engineering contracts I could look at.

The project will be from design and prototyping to production.

I'm mainly looking for something I can use as a good starting point and customize as needed before I get my legal friend to look over it.

Thank a lot.

No one has any they're willing to share , fair enough.  I'm probably asking a bit much since you'd have to go to the trouble of removal identifiable company info etc.

Thanks anyway

If you will be a subcontractor to a client doing say product development or construction, it is likely client will have a pro-forma contract for all such subs.

So you would take that to your legal provider (solicitor in Australia) for checking before signing.

If you want a "professional" looking shop front glossy document, that is not really on legal side although solicitor could check it too when finished.
You can also have terms of sale attached to your proposal. Usually the contract will include and over-ride that when contract is formed.
TOS templates probably available suitable to use, again get solicitor to check.

I used a firm of legal attorneys, and an accountant. overall their fees were reasonable , advice good, I always felt they were worthwhile.

By the way, are you in a state that is requiring registration? I was RPEQ beacuase a few years ago it looked like I would be doing design calculations and modelling  for Queensland end user.

Thanks for replying,

It will be registered company (mine) to another registered company.

We will be designing and manufacturing the PCB and firmware part of a bigger product the other company sells.

Na, don't need to be a registered engineer here, and the product has no mains connection.

Sorry, mis-read your flag, too small on the hand held.
I hope your project goes well.
