Hi, I need to provide some services for a translation company in a
different state. I live in Georgia and the company is in PA. I worked
with them before, but the payment sometimes
came slow. I want to protect myself by asking the company to sign an
agreement to pay in time. I came up with an agreement listed below, I
don't need anything very formal, but it needs to have legal effect
just in case. Can someone take a look at it and let me know if it's
sufficient?

*************************************************
AGREEMENT ON TRANSLATION SERVICES 

For xxx Company

I, (name), agrees to provide xxx services to the xxx Company (Client)
based on the following terms:

installments of the payment can be accepted if it is arranged and
agreed upon in writing before the payment due date.

c). For any rush jobs over $500, I reserve the right to request a
partial payment in advance before beginning the service.

d). Either Party may terminate this agreement with thirty days'
written notice. The balance with client must be paid in full within
