| All of which are avoided by using
a computer consultant agreement.
Even if you mainly bill on an hourly rate and only put out fires, do
upgrades, and very little pc maintenance, you still need the computer
consultant agreement.
A well developed computer consultant agreement is
designed to accommodate the clients specific needs, protect your time
investment, prevent lawsuits, and establish a basis for increasing
fees/time with the customer.
Describe Services
In your computer consultant agreement, it's important to adequately
define the services you are offering, without placing limits on your
abilities. For example, if you're contracting to install software, you may
also want to consider offering software maintenance once the software is
up and running.
This will benefit the client as he and his employees can
concentrate on running the business, not learning to manage the software.
It helps to generate your company a recurring income. Without the
maintenance agreement portion written in the computer consultant
agreement, time will pass and you may lose this additional work.
Protect your Time
If you bill your client on an hourly basis, the computer consultant
agreement can prevent any discrepancies, or misunderstandings, about the
time you are billing. By stating exactly what your rates are, and the
increments by which you charge, your client will be more accepting of the
final bill.
Any questions have already been answered by your computer
consultant agreement. For example, suppose you are called to determine why
a computer doesn't seem to be working.
As you begin your investigation,
you simply find that someone had adjusted the view on the monitor, so that
the information simply wasn't showing up. It takes you all of 15 minutes,
yet you bill your rate only in hourly increments.
With a signed computer
consulting agreement, there is no battle. Otherwise, the client may be
upset.
Prevent Lawsuits
Any business, large or small, is always protective of its data. By
clearly stating your limits of liability with your computer consultant
agreement, you virtually eliminate any potential legal battles, should
loss of data occur.
Establish a Basis
By clearly stating your services, your limits and liabilities, as well
as potential future client needs, in the computer consultant agreement you
are building a reputable basis for a long lasting provider/client
relationship.
Trust, reliability, and fairness are all established using
the all important computer consultant agreement.
Don't lose money, or leave yourself unprotected.
