I know this sounds like classic avoidance crap but because the laws of each
state are a bit different and sometimes you can enforce things in one state
you can't enforce in another, check with a lawyer in your home state. There
are some states, like Michigan, where I've been told that an illegal
assertion in one part of the contract can void the entire contract depending
on how and why.

If you just want to scare your clients into keeping in line write down
whatever you want. If you want something that really has a chance to stand
up in court, talk to a lawyer.
