Great advice anigbrowl! I especially like the emphasis on GETTING IT IN WRITING.

Another point of anigbrowl's I'd like to emphasize: write the first draft yourself. Discuss transfer of IP from them to you, then write the doc yourself. Two reasons: 1) they don't sound like they'll get around to writing it. 2) You can anchor the agreement however you want it, and they will have to respond to edit.

I never have understood people who ask somebody else to write up the first draft of a contract / agreement. Yes, you will negotiate on points, but if you are the original author, everything is anchored where YOU want it to be.

Anchoring is a VERY powerful psychological tool.
