I've received so many requests for the sample consulting contracts I've got
that I'm going to post them here.

As usual, I'd like to add my usual common sense warning that you need to have
an attorney review these before you even think of executing one...

Here is a sample Hardware Sales Contract:

STATE OF ______________
                                                                        PURCHASE AGREEMENT
COUNTY OF ___________


        THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of the       day of           , 1991 by and
between (COMPANY), Inc.,  a ______________ corporation whose
business address is _________________________, _________,
______________ _____ ("(COMPANY)"), and
a corporation whose business address is
("Purchaser").


                  Sale:  The Purchaser agrees to purchase and (COMPANY)
agrees to sell, on the terms and conditions that follow, the
machines and equipment and features as set forth in schedule A
attached hereto and more fully described in the attached
Specification Sheets.

                  Price:  The prices set forth in Schedule A are for the
machines and products delivered to and set up at the place of
business of Purchaser.  An additional charge shall be charged for
State sales tax where applicable.  Any personal property taxes
assessable on the machines and equipment after delivery shall be
borne by the Purchaser.

                  Terms of payment.  A deposit equal to 35% of the total
listed on schedule A is due upon contract signing. An invoice for
the balance of machines and products will be issued as of the
date of installation.  Payment for the machines and products
shall be made in full within 10 days of delivery.

                  Late charges:  A late charge of one and one-half percent
(eighteen percent per annum) shall be added to the outstanding
charges when an account becomes thirty days past due, and for
each month thereafter.

                  Installation:  Machines and products purchased under this
agreement will be installed and placed in good working order by
(COMPANY). The Purchaser shall make available a suitable place of
installation with all facilities required.  The date on which
(COMPANY) notifies Purchaser in verbally or in writing that a
machine/product has been place in good working order and is ready
for use shall be considered the date of installation for all
purposes of this agreement.

                  Restocking fee:  In the event that Purchaser refuses to
accept any machine or product, or in the event that (COMPANY)
must repossess any machine, the Purchaser shall pay to (COMPANY)
a restocking fee equal to twenty percent of the invoice amount.
This restocking fee is in addition to any damages that may be
available for any breach of contract.


                  Warranty:  Machine and Products shall be covered by a
manufacturer's warranty.  In the event that a machine or product
fails within the period of the manufacturer's warranty, Purchaser
may deliver the machine or product to the seller's place of
business to obtain warranty repair.  (COMPANY) will ship the
machine or product to the manufacturer for repair.  Purchaser
expressly agrees that (COMPANY) shall not be liable to the
Purchaser for any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense of
Purchaser (including lost profit or any other direct, indirect or
consequential damages) resulting from, or attributable to the
failure of a machine or product to operate. (COMPANY) NEITHER
MAKES NOR INTENDS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY TYPE
OR DESCRIPTION INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS WITH
RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT THEREOF.  The terms of this paragraph may
be modified by a separate "ACCUCARE" extended warranty.

                  Title:  Title to each of the machines and products is to
remain in (COMPANY) until the full purchase price is paid.
Failure to pay the balance of the purchase price of a machine or
product when due shall give (COMPANY) the right, without
liability, to repossess that machine or product, with or without
notice, and to avail itself of any legal remedy.


                  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be deemed to have
been made and entered into in the State of ______________, and
the construction, validity and enforceability of this Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of ______________.

                  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
Agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof.  All prior contemporaneous or other oral or
written statements, representations or agreements by or between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged
herein.

                  Assignment.  A party to this Agreement shall not assign
or transfer the rights, duties and obligations hereunder unless
the other party hereto consents to such assignment in writing
prior to any such assignment.  Provided, however, that (COMPANY)
may assign, without restriction, its right to payment to a third
party as a part of hypothecation of its accounts or otherwise.

                  Miscellaneous.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors
and assigns.  This Agreement shall not be changed or modified
orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties
which states that it is an amendment to this Agreement.




        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, (COMPANY) and Purchaser have caused this
Agreement to be signed by their respective duly authorized
officers and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto
affixed, all as of the day and year first above written.


                                 (COMPANY), Inc.
