can someone please post a copy of the terms and agreement that show on the invoices, please please and thank you. im just getting started here and the help on this site has saved me numerous times already. Prayers to the Brandons.

Terms and conditions, like the laws they are written to protect you from are different state to state. There is no one size fits all set of terms and conditions.

Go to the largest pumper in your area. Ask him for the terms and conditions he uses. My guess is that he will give them to you. If he will not... well there are other ways you could go about it. Ask first.

Take the terms to your lawyer, if you don't have one you should. Or go to your insurance company and ask them what specific protection they would like to have on your invoice (job ticket). My point is that you are correct in asking about this. The work you do now will save you thousands in the future. To say you can not afford to have this done is short sighted. If you are an ACPA member (EVERY ONE SHOULD BE) call them and ask for assistance. Or at least get the name of your largest competitor.

Keep working on this project; it is worthwhile. ;~)

lawyers aren't bad guys unless you are facing them in court with out a properly written set of terms and conditions.

If your in Texas im sure they will be the same as ours. I will scan ours and email you them. Ours pretty much says we arent responsible for anything that happens while we are on the job. and that we will do the best to ensure that our truck is well maintained.

Which brings me to another point. We were on a Job a few months a ago. The job had a broke down craine on it. They were still paying for it. even though it wasn't working. I was doing a pipe job and the concrete company sent me some trash, i had to break down my reducer like 8 times. and the pour took about 2 hrs longer than usual. they didnt want to pay for the time i was down but they were paying for that crane that was down.

i have taken other work orders and rewriten them enough times that i have come up with this.
