    Agent without contract?

    I've received a PO from an agent without a contract, to provide services to their client.

    Is this really to my advantage? Should I insist upon having a general agreement signed so that some limited protection is offered? Or indeed is it a good thing that no contract exists and just the PO?

    Send the agent a copy of your standard terms and conditions advising that the services will be delivered in accordance with them

      This is what I've done up until now. They would appear to be ok so far, very unusual though. This will be the first time I've got an agent to sign my contract rather than me there's.

        Theirs. It took me aback just how much of a difference that makes to the readability of the sentence.

            At the very least have payment terms agreed formally in writing (as well as on the purchase order)
