Contractors in the UK might want to check out the PCG

amongst other benefits membership includes access to standard contracts.

http://www.pcg.org.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=41&id=136&Itemid=153

These limit liability to the higher of £100,00 or 125% of the total fees

It also excludes liability for loss of profit etc.

What I haven't got yet is a contract that satisfactorily  clarifies 
licensing/copyright issues where some work is GPL and some is custom 
code with copyright ownership up for negotiation.
