Regarding kicking off an engagement…when should I state the first months payment be made? At the execution of contract? End of 1st month? Should I bill in advance?

I have all these but I also put a clause about travel and accommodations should I need to be on site for any part of the work. I mostly offer remote services but there are some clients that may need you on site for some part of the project and I want to protect myself if that should be required.

Things I care about. 1. Payment terms - net 30 or better 2. Things that are going to cost me money like unnecessary insurance. 3 Unbalanced termination rights. 4. Liability indemnifications not aligned to the value of the work. 5. Jurisdiction of laws that are different from where the work will be done …
