Frequently Asked Questions
How to choose the right notice periodTypically, one week's notice is sufficient for most short-term contracts.

This may depend on how much notice you want to stipulate is required, whether the Child Care Provider has done any work or made any investment, or which party is issuing the termination notice. You can add your own clause to deal with this as you see fit later in the questionnaire.

It is important to note that depending on local regulations and particular facts it may not be possible to completely eliminate liability.

Additional Clauses

No additional clauses are needed for most agreements.


Frequently Asked Questions
When should I include an additional clause?This section is optional and should only be used if you wish to include terms that have not already been addressed in the Child Care Contract.The goal is to avoid ambiguity. Use complete sentences and avoid abbreviations.

Avoid using personal names and pronouns (we, us, you, they) and instead use the "Client" or the "Child Care Provider".

Make sure to proofread your clause.Construction contracts in Texas cannot require a Sub-Contractor to indemnify the General Contractor against harm caused by the General Contractor's own negligence. Nor can a Sub-Contractor be required to carry insurance for that purpose.

Signing Details





Frequently Asked Questions
Does my document need to be witnessed?Most documents and contracts do not require a witness for them to be legally valid. However, many banks and other institutions have their own policies about signing requirements and may refuse to accept documents that are not witnessed regardless of whether they are legally correct.

Also, if there is a possibility of a misunderstanding then you may want to get your document witnessed.Who can be a witness?Ideally a witness should be an adult who does not have any interest in the document being signed and who is capable of understanding the witnessing process.
