Simple - you need to pay very close attention to the details about them. Either one can harm you, or your pocket book, but at least a contract won't kill you....well, not the business kind of contract anyway.
This brings me back to the drug ads on TV - the ones that ask you to ask your doctor if _____________ is right for you (fill in the blank). This, after they list the possible side effects, up to and including your demise, and then show the happy smiling family. They leave out the ones who suffered the side effects. And the 100,000+ who die each year from properly prescribed prescription drugs. All I'm saying here is to make sure you understand what a drug is capable of doing, weigh the pros and cons, talk with your doctor, research it online, and see if there are alternatives (such as diet, exercise, supplements, lifestyle changes, etc.).
Same with a contract - make sure you read it, understand it, and ask the person you are contracting with any questions you may have. Never sign a contract until you have done these things.
Have a great day. I'l be talking more about portraits next time. And soon re-directing my website link to my new temporary site, with a sample of my contract and much more information that you should find useful. Still deciding on a more permanent web host for a more permanent site.
