CONTRACTS: FOUR (4) SECRETS (Taken from the book, "UNDESTANDING THE LAW: A PRIMER", by Attorney Charles Jerome Ware, iUniverse Publishers)

1.  If the contract is in writing, ALWAYS read it yourself.

2.  Make sure you understand EVERYTHING in the contract BEFORE you sign it.

3.  Although many contracts can be in writing or verbally, MOST contracts SHOULD be or MUST be in writing.

4.  Remember:  usually the large print in contracts gives you rights, BUT the small print takes your rights away.
