Ok so I just got done putting together an order form, based off an order form another CC member was kind enough to post in the gallery. Thanks DIANAMARIEMTV for sharing that, its awesome!

I am wanting a little blurb at the bottom of the order for the client to sign off, so as to avoid the well that wasnt what I ordered issues.
So this is what I came up with but I think it needs to be reworded, let me know what you think:

By signing this form, I do hereby attest that the details listed above are in fact the exact specifications I require for my order.


Signature:___________________________ Date:__________________

Shop Representative:__________________ Date:__________________

Ummm what about adding something about .......unless the change is in writing and ____ days prior to completion? That way the customer knows a "change order" can be made but only in the time limit you set and it simply must be in writing and confirmed by you that it was received.

I think it sounds fine.. Do you, or anyone, know of a place here on CC where I could go to find examples of contracts that other decorators use? Thanks icon_smile.gif

It does sound a little cumbersome.

How about:

Please review the order and confirm that all of the details listed above are to your exact specifications. If you agree, please sign below:

____________________
Name

____________________
Date

You may also want to add something about changes:
*Any changes to this order need to be made by ____________(date) and must be confirmed by me in writing. Final price will be adjusted accordingly.

Ok that is exactly what I was looking for thanks so much Project queen, your wording is perfect...and thanks to all of you who chimed in

Mrs. good call on the changes part I hadn't even thought of that.

CakesbyLJ..in the gallery under templates is the order form I used. But I think if you put "contracts" in the CC search engine you'll find all kinds of info

Foxymomma...you are so sweet, thanks so much for chiming in.
