Qualities Of Good Contracts

Been talking about what to do with contracts (be it drafting, reviewing or negotiating) for long. However, it becomes tough when someone asks as to what constitutes a good contract.

Let's talk basics :

Define the parties well. A good contract should clearly identify the parties involved, including their names, addresses, identification details and other relevant details.

Deliverables. A good contract should (say) outline the services to be provided by one party and the expectations of the other party.

Duration. A good contract should specify the start and end dates of the contract, as well as important milestones / deadlines.

Payment terms. A good contract should clearly outline the payment terms, including the amount, frequency, and method of payment.
