Just to be sure I understand -- Rather than you being a contractor for a client, you are a subcontractor performing work for a primary contractor that will benefit the primary contractor's clients. (For example, like when an ad agency creates a new campaign for one of its corporate clients, and subcontracts the web design portion of that campaign to you.) Is that right? If so, the contractor with whom you are dealing will almost surely have a standardized agreement like I mentioned in my previous post. It will be a "boilerplate" type contract that spells out all the terms and conditions that they expect you (and all their other subs) to adhere to, and it will have appropriate paragraphs to specify the services and deliverables you'll provide and the fees you'll be paid. Unless state licensing requirements or state taxable professional services are involved in the work you're performing, I can't think of a reason why being in different states would impact the specific terms of the contract. Does that clear things up (or make them more confusing)?
