The first thing a contract does is establish your rights and obligations, as well as those of the other parties to the contract. Those rights and obligations make up the terms of the contract.

It is important, therefore, to ensure that every contract to which you are a party accurately and completely reflects your business intention in its terms. If you want the right to assert that you must be paid within 30 days of each invoice you deliver, then you should be sure that right is spelled out in your contract. By the same token, if you do not want to be obligated to do something (e.g., deliver the forklift you just sold), you should be sure that the contractual terms do not oblige you to do so.
