"1.5 Invoices. The Developer will invoice the Client for work done weekly. The Client agrees to pay the amount owed within 21 days of receiving the invoice. Payment after that date will incur a late fee of 5% ."

Fee being yearly or monthly? When setting up the variables it was displayed as monthly - but this is not conveyed anywhere in the contract which will default to the Clients best interest (yearly).

Skimming over the title and the URL, I was hoping to find a Bonsai care/maintenance contractor network.

How do you reach your target audience with a company name and URL like yours? Could you provide a sample contract without the need to enter a valid E-Mail address?

I've always liked the Elance / Freelancer escrow systems, in principal, and I use them when buying services. But those sites have way too much of a low-end feel for me to ask my own clients to pay me via those, for 5 or 6-figure jobs.

If this can be a high-end equivalent of those low-end escrow services, that will be nice.

I always suffer the same confusion when I try to shop at amazon.com

This looks quite interesting. A couple of things i would like to see are:

- sample without the need to provide an email e.g. show at least one and offer more samples when email is provided

- what's the pricing / cut you take from the money transferred through your service?
