The Pitfall
Using only an invoice or order form instead of a properly negotiated contract.
Why It's Dangerous
Invoices lack breach and dispute-resolution clauses, so you can only claim damages and must bear your own legal fees.
How to Avoid It
Always sign a written contract with quality, delivery, breach and dispute-resolution clauses.
