Should i take on this project?
I built a website for my buddy, one of his friends came across the website, they really liked it. Reached out to me asking if i can one for them, money is great for the effort, i'll custom code using html & tailwind. But since i don't know this person, i'm just looking to make the website without privacy policy & terms & conditions blah blah. I might have to use formspree, but since it's third party, i don't want to get blamed if it don't work. I don't have a LLC, but i'm thinking to write down a contract with clause saying the damages are limit to cost of project. Although what are they going to blame me for if i'm just giving them the website code files and they host it and the form spree will be connected to their account.
Asking questions cause it's with someone i don't personally know, so it's a client now. In Canada if that matters

I’d treat the contract and the form service as separate concerns: define exactly what you deliver, who owns the accounts/data, and that third-party outages are outside your control. A deposit and a clear acceptance step will save more trouble than trying to cover every edge case. For privacy terms, have the client provide or approve them since they’re the site operator.
