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.
