Hello again community!

To recap from my last post if you guys didnt see it, I am a college student staying near campus over the summer and I want to start a tech support business on the side. I am employed by the school's IT department and I have a lot of experience. My questions are: If I dont form a corporation (LLC/sole proprietorship) which I do not plan on doing, should I have liability contracts that say if I mess up their computer I'm not liable? Also should I have purchase contracts? Like if I order parts for a customer, and I spend my money before I bill them, what if they back out of the deal? Last question: If I travel to their home and fix their computer, how do I make sure I get paid? what if they kick me out of their house without paying me? Is there a contract I can have them sign before I fix the computer?

Thanks,
Kyle
