Booth rental and client agreement tips for Eagle

Spell out who owns client records and contact lists if a renter or stylist leaves.
Require renters to keep their state license current and posted at their station.
Write a clear policy on redo requests and refunds so a dissatisfied client has a path short of a claim.
State who supplies color, chemicals, and tools, since that affects classification and who answers for a product reaction.

Clear paperwork makes a claim easier to handle, and some insurers ask about it on the application.
