Hope this is the right place for this post, but I was just wondering if anyone had any contract templates I could possibly see?
Thanks.

Here's mine....I got it online from another DJ I think it might have been Dave Millar and had it slightly modified to suit
EDIT: It's in RTF format and I can't upload it here I changed it to a TXT file so it doesn't look pretty but you will get the idea

"not responsible for equipment failure..."
wow
there's one I've never seen before!
actually, I was amazed at the details (regarding the tablecloth, etc)
I have mostly "save your butt" legal stuff in mine.
maybe it's time to re-think my contract.
ever had anyone questioning those "details"?

If you can find it out on the web Cap Capello was on a podcast regarding contracts. While Cap isn't a lawyer he is the next best thing on line but as he would tell you, seek the advise of a local attorney.
Cap has had some great contract posts here also. Cap also uses a very unique approach to booking events. Don't book the service, book the date, after all, your calendar of dates are your inventory and you will only have x amount of inventory(time) to sell. Once it's gone it's gone.
IF someone buys a date from you and then backs out say at 30 days or less til event, what are you're chances of rebooking? You now have spoiled inventory. You will stand a better chance of collecting your cancellation money, because you sold a date not a service. Of course how you have the contract drawn up will make all the difference.
As Cap says, the contract is to keep you out of court in the first place.

As I said I "borrowed" the contract, modified it very slightly and had it looked at by a Lawyer. Most of the stuff in there is probably unnecessary. I kept the tablecloth/skirt thing in there so if they have a blue theme and I have a black skirt they can't get on me for hanging it
Before you use any contract take it to a Laywer and have it looked at a binding contract in Nova Scotia might not be worth the paper it's written on elsewhere
