- You can select contract clauses from our checklist to add to your own contract document. The clauses in the checklists below have been taken from actual contracts. You should only use clauses that are relevant to your work.
Clauses that are: Green for Go!
Clauses that are: Amber for Caution!
Clauses that are: Red for ‘Think Again’!
What we look for is ‘fair contracts’. Here’s our Charter of Contractual Fairness. A fair contract should be balanced, giving you, and the business that engages you, equal rights under the contract.
