At one of my group meetings, a fellow photographer asked me about a contract he had been asked to sign. He was concerned about some sections of the document, two in particular, where one referred to copyright and the other to damages to a third party. In my opinion it was a bad contract (i.e. highly disadvantageous to the photographer) but unfortunately in these cases of an adhesion contract (a contract that does not allow for negotiation) the only choice we have as a freelancer is to say "no" to such contracts.
