Two major things to get in a contract would be do you get your files and can they sell the same design to someone else. A big company I won't name (who I don't think offers in-house design anymore) had a contract a client showed me. It said that they have the right to sell what they make for you to someone else. And many companies don't give a contact. They have a "terms and conditions" page they can change any time. That's not cool. And in all of these, you don't get your files. If you are paying for custom work, you need to get your source files... Photoshop, Illustrator, whatever they are. A designer should NOT hold you hostage. Get it in writing!
