I really hate legalese. It has always struck me as a tool to browbeat one or both parties into a false sense of security by trying to account for every possible scenario (and failing or worse, contradicting itself).

I wrote my own contract that is written plainly, I borrowed the bulk of it from a similar effort to this one and heavily modified it. It acknowledges that it is written plainly and that where any ambiguity exists, it's presumed both parties are reasonable and responsible, are not malicious and that all effort will be expended to resolve problems as such before resorting to the legal system to settle a dispute.

The most important and most complex part is indemnification. You don't want to mess that section up. It outlines who is responsible, how responsible, type of responsibility and where they are responsible (if you are in a different part of the country or world). It has to fit with whatever your professional indemnity insurance is.

The Client has the opportunity to suggest changes if something is important to them - but only up to a point.

It works for me and I don't work for huge or faceless organisations, ymmv.
