That sounds find but if you have some kind of program the authorities are investigating this contact won't keep your clients from telling them about you. If there were the case, people could hire assassins making them sign a contract which would void their testimony in court. Basically, if you are afraid of them holding you liable for corrupt data, this contract will suffice. If you are afraid of them snitching on you, this will not help you.

well how come they can void a contract because they dotn want to get in trouble >.>

I'm not sure I understand your last statement/question?

[WingedPanther]

Most companies have a standard disclaimer indicating the intended use of software and a disclaimer of liability for damages. If you write a program that can be proven to be malicious, however, you could be screwed.

you posted another thread with the title "visual basic keylogger" it looks to me that you have a malicious intent and no contract will save you.

If this is for the keylogger that Termana mentiond I sugest taking a diffrent aproach to the contract. You can say somthing along the lines of the program is only attanded for use on your own computer (parents would use it this way to "spy" on there kids which is leagle). Then put in the stuff it can crash windows and all that jazz that you had. If it is some type of cracking program put that the software is intended strictly for educational purposes and is not to be used in any malichious way (also leagle, web developers and security admins nees to know how these things work and if they can get in there system so they can guard against it.) The trick is don't say "HAY I want to help you break the law!" you want to make sure people agree not to do so and your butt is saved (for the most part)

i dont want to make a contract for a keylogger lol i would never give anyone a keylogger its just some joke Visual Basic programs i have that open the CD tray forever and stuff

[zeroradius]

you missed my point a bit. What I am saying is never say somthing like

I was given and I shall not ask, command, or communicate with anyone that may provide a "tip-off" to the authorities, school staff, any affiliates with those stated or perhaps more people that may expose (My Name) for providing the disks

In doing so you are admiting you knowingly helped them break the law. Instead make the contract up to say that the program was intended for X (X representing a leagle activity) If you are creative ANY pice of software can have a purpose that is leagle (for a few examples see my above post) If some one then uses your leagle pice of software to do somthing illeagle you are not the one to blame. Your current contract has you going to jail for exsecery to an unlawful act because you knowingly provide software for an illeagle act.
