5. Put Everything in Writing

This one may seem pretty obvious, but it’s still important to reiterate. Every single condition and term you’re disagreeing with or agreeing to should be put in writing. Sometimes during contract negotiations, certain terms are promised to move the deal forward.

If you see any sign of resistance when asking that verbal terms be put in the contract, that should warn you to proceed cautiously.
