Unless you need USD transactions... in which case you're back in hell. I'm almost there - just need to convince BofA to give me a merchant account without an SSN, and I'll have a great howto post on my blog. But, it might all still fall over, so no crowing yet.. just realise that if you want USD

To clarify for Stephen, PayPal has a pretty easy system for recurring payments. It is flexible enough for most needs without needing to even get into their api much. On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 9:08 AM, StephenB_NZ wrote: > I agree with you Rebecca, WP's customer service often leaves a lot to > be de

Hey Keith, We've just setup a client using SecurePay for recurring payments. I have a contact there now if you need help. I would also suggest looking at services like recurly, chargify, spreedly, and cheddargetter. Depending on current volume, paypal is an easy option to implement while you work

Hey Aymeric, Asking for an explicit exclusion for IP generated outside of billed hours is probably the best way to do it. Also make sure you get an exclusion for an IP you bring to the table as well. If you work in the same area as the company, also be wary of non-compete agreements in the same w

Thanks everyone. This is really a gig where I will be working a few hours over maybe six weeks. So I won't be using their resources to develop my IP, but it is definitely in the same domain which is why I can provide some value as an external consultant (Facebook consulting). Because the document

It's complicated. Is the project in the same domain? Are you going to use their equipment, resources and pick your colleagues brains? Can you see yourself working on a great idea out of work and implementing it? Speak to the hiring manager first and try and discuss that clause. Some good resour

The other thing to make sure is there are no time clauses. Sometimes your ideas you create externally after terminating your employment may not be protected if it is upto a certain date after date of said termination. It can be from as low as 3 months to as draconian as 3 years. Same applies to

I'm not a lawyer, but my reading of those clauses would suggest that your IP is not protected. I would not sign that agreement without changes to those clauses. I would suggest talking to the hiring manager, exilian your desire to create other IP external to the contract, and see if the relevant c

Hi, I will be hired as a contractor for some work and I am about to sign a confidentiality deed document and I want to make sure all the IP I produce outside of the scope of the engagement (work at home) won't be retained by the employer. My first language is not English so I want to make sure I

I agree with you Rebecca, WP's customer service often leaves a lot to be desired - I think since RBS bought them out, things might have declined in that area. If you try and persist, or give them a call, or the rates should be on the website. Other option could be Paypal for organisations - if you
