Gotta say I'd agree. It still has the fundamentals in there that protect you and trying to find a contract off the net you can use verbatim is not the way to go even if it say LTD to Freelance on the top.

What Eek said but with 'they' rather than 'there' but if you really want some basic templates to cover payment terms and other contract stuff then QDOS have some.

I don't have anything in writing - more of a pay as you go deal but thinking of having something in writing just in case any IR35 points come up. I have asked my accountant but they were useless and I really don't want to sit down and create a contract myself

There are abroad - it doesn't matter
