You got that right. Most important is ownership of copyrights.
Not to mention "The Statute of Frauds". Check out Section 2201 and 2106 of
the California Commercial Code.
If the web site design agreement is for more than $500.00, then the designer
risks not being able to enforce an oral promise to pay on the part of the
site owner. No matter how much work the designer has put into the site, if
the contract price is in excess of $500.00 the site owner may not be
obligated to pay the price orally agreed upon if there is no sufficient
writing signed by the site owner. This is known in law terms as "The Statute
of Frauds," a concept that arose long ago with the intent to make it clear
that in certain really important transactions, that the parties have it in
writing.
