hey, i'm about to do some work for a friend/accquaintance and need to know how to put together a contract.
and what do i need to do to make it legal and binding?

Try and stage jobs.
ie. STAGE 1: design and concept (get this approved and signed off by the client & payment! before you proceed to STAGE 2: construction where you actually do/supply the final work to the client. I know it doesn't apply to all work but its good for website jobs.

allude to things like: "i will smash you" - but dont tell them exactly what for. this along with a well written contract will help you out in the long run.
being known as the 'smash' is a rep you soon love to love.

i actually just thought of something to do for Flash based sites(since the code is protected)...
In the Flash file, have a variable that it checks on initialization. That variable is set on your computer, and can be switched to off if a client does not pay. They won't have access to the variable, no matter where they switch the server to, its just a basic conditional that gives the creator a "god switch".
