bulk service/repair contracts
by Geoff Heath 06 Jan '18

06 Jan '18

Hey folks! I'm looking at drawing up an annual tune-up/repair contract with a school division for their 80 bike fleet and I've never written up anything like this previously. I couldn't find any examples of bulk repair contracts on thinktank and am wondering if anyone has an example document I can riff off of, or experience around this. I imagine it's not the sort of thing that I'd want to miss anything important and end up in the hole on. Would greatly appreciate any advice that anyone could give. Thanks!
