It might be of help when considering the terms of a contract  although no 
sample is given.
It has this information:
"...This agreement, along with a payment schedule (with  the last payment 
withheld until the institution is satisfied with the final  product), should be 
recorded in a written contract. (For more about what should  be included in a 
letter of agreement, see "Guidelines for Independent Curators,"  developed by 
AIHA. The College Art Association is also developing a set of  principles for 
contractual arrangements between guest curators and museums.)  ..."
 
Best wishes, Barbara Hass, retired  librarian
