I can vouch for and.co, you as the contractor can crate a customized contracts which addresses most of your concerns. You can also add extra clauses just in case. If all parties are acting in good faith then the amendments/additions on the generated contract shouldn't need to be run through a lawyer

Do you know whether and.co has standard contracts / clauses for open source work? My concern is that open source would be legally tricky because of consideration (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consideration). Essentially, they are getting nothing of value in exchange for giving me something.

I don't recall a specific template option for open source, however I have previously amended the contract to add a clause that any open source contributions I make in the course of a project will remain open source
