This is the contract Bearded uses for client work on a time and materials basis. It's worked for us, but I am not a lawyer, so please run it by yours before you use it!

Bearded's Hourly Contract

Date: [[Date of Document]] Between [Our Company] and [Your Company]

Summary

We’re not big on formality, but sometimes it’s best to have a few simple things written down so that we’re all on the same page. In this contract you won’t find complicated legal terms or large passages of unreadable text. We have no desire to trick you into signing something that you might later regret. We do want what’s best for the safety of both parties, now and in the future.
