Thanks for the anecdote - sorry to hear things turned out that way! I agree that a split of a discounted daily rate and equity is a good balance, and I do have concrete requirements. Do you know of any good resources for writing contracts? I know the other guy's got a lawyer to help him with trademarking and stuff, but since I don't have a lot of cash to throw around I'll probably have to do it myself...

In the UK you can get a free 30 minutes consulting at most law firms if you are a small business. I did that: http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/home.law
See if they have something similar in the US (assuming thats where you are from). Ask them for a template contract, some may give it to you for free or maybe couple $100. Remember though a contract is just a piece of paper: http://bit.ly/bHuFAK
Also I don't mind sharing a base contract I got from my lawyer for software development, hell I paid so much money for it the more people that get use the better. Drop me an email [email protected]
My blog on some lessons I have learnt on my current go at a web startup, some things may help: http://bit.ly/d23Dzp
