AIGA also has some nice sample contracts.
I build in 2 or 3 comps and 2 or 3 rounds of revisions and state that all revisiosn above and beyond are at $0.00 per hour. If a client is thinking you are too high you can knock off a round of revisions (they'll ask for them later anyway) or knock of one of the comps.
I usually get 50% up front and 50% at the end.. Occassionaly I get 33% up front, 33% when they approve designs, and final payment at end.
All delivverables should have deadlines, for both you adn client. Start on the finish line and work backwards with your deliverables and their accounatbles (copy, logos, imagery, payments, etc.)
If you email me I will send you a sample contract that I have at home that really rocks.
I also start out with an in depth interview meeting or send them a questionare that asks about budget, timeline, goals, likes and dislikes, etc.
good luck.
