This is a sophisticated T&Cs-style consulting contract document. It may be adapted either to balance the interests of the parties or to favour the interests of one party over the other.

The consulting contract may be used in relation to a variety of different kinds of consultancy services where the specific terms agreed between the parties will be referenced in another document (e.g. a proposal).

In addition to the clauses in the "standard" consultant contract, the "premium" version includes: a straightforward procedure for acceptance testing and approval; charging on the basis of an hourly rate; changes to fees; additional intellectual property rights clauses providing for rights in materials owned by the customer or a third party, moral rights and partial assignments/licences of rights; more sophisticated limitations of liability; indemnities in the case of a breach of contract; mutual (rather than unilateral) confidentiality provisions; a data processor clause; non-solicitation clauses; a formal notices clause; provisions on interpretation and more boilerplates.
