Proof and print is correct.

I deal with it before the shoot, so everything is clear before I start working

On the contract what does methods mean:contact sheets ??

Contact sheets are the paper proofs you see all images on 1 page.
I prefer the online gallery. That way you don't have to use the magnifying lens to view them closely... I did not know people still used contact sheets. I guess for film they are used maybe?????

Good info to know. Is there anywhere on the web you can get guidelines to making a contract or do you just have to make one as you go?

Thanks again for everyone's help.

Yesenia

As for my service (not photo shoot) contract, make sure to stipulate if travel and room and board are incorporated (if necessary)...in the early days, I had to travel for shifty agencies who said everything was included, but was NOT.

For my brides, I have a start time and finish time lined out, anything beyond that goes to an hourly rate.  I literally have a "touch-up" clause in my bridal contracts.  I have one rate for if I stay in one location the whole time and another higher rate if I have to change locations.  (I once had a bride who made me go to her house, the church and the reception.)

For commercial work make sure it is very clear that the half-day rate ends at 4 hours and then goes up to a full day rate.  Also, make sure it is clear whether or not meals are provided. 

There are so many factors to consider.  I have modified my contracts for years to include bizarre situations I come across.  Some of it sounds silly, but like I said before, you have to make sure your butt is covered, no matter what!

This is a not a bad idea, but it is not really a "contract". More of a reminder sheet or checklist. A good contract should state what everyone is getting (their consideration). (i.e. for your giving ______, I give you _____)

but this kind of thing can help set expectations.

Why ask for the SS#? And why do I feel like I am asking a stupid question and yet don't know the answer?

Thanks!
