Customer Reviews

Perfect for my new business.
Are you looking for any easier, less expensive way to produce contracts? This sealed the deal for me. I was looking for the complete package and this is what I got. I was tired of paying expensive fees for my music contracts to be created. One of the best things about this product is that you can edit and change the contracts to fit the needs of any client. No more frustration from waiting and paying for contracts to be written. I have tried two other products and they just didn't work for me. This was a must have for my new business!

CD ROM is PC only and not PC/Mac
I purchased this to use the CDROM. I am a Mac user. The CDROM is made for PC only and not PC/MAC as the description state. Other than that the printed contracts are pretty good

VERY SUSPICIOUS REVIEWS!
Hmmm... has anyone else noticed that the reviews are all 5 stars, posted within three weeks of each other, and by people with no other reviews? Sure makes one wonder...
