Thanks DPC folk. |
There are lots of them out there, but you should be careful. Most such agreements are covered under state and local laws, so what is a valid contract in one area, may be full of holes, or completely invalid in another. e.g. In some states, something called a deposit cannot be non-refundable. So if you were to accept what your contract calls a "non-refundable deposit" to save a date for a bride, and you turn away other couples for that same day, then the bride cancels the day before. Guess what? She's legally entitled to a refund of the whole deposit.
My advice is to put one together using examples you find, then have a contract lawyer review it. That won't be free, but it could save you from losing money or, worse, being in a lawsuit and having the parts of your contract that were protecting you declared invalid.
