Draft contract
Eight clauses: scope with named deliverables, 50/50 payment, two revision rounds with extra rounds priced, IP transferring on final payment, 14-day termination, and a late payment term.
How the Freelance Contract Builder works
- Define scope by naming the deliverables, not the activity — "three logo concepts, one refined" rather than "branding work".
- Set revision rounds explicitly and price additional rounds; this is the single most common source of scope disputes.
- Tie IP transfer to final payment, and have the template reviewed once by a lawyer in your jurisdiction.
FAQ
Which clause prevents the most disputes?
Scope, defined as specific deliverables with a stated number of revision rounds. Almost every freelance dispute is really a disagreement about whether something was included.
When should IP transfer?
On final payment, stated explicitly. Without that wording the default position varies by jurisdiction, and a client who has not paid may still claim ownership of work they commissioned.
Do I need a lawyer if I use a template?
Once, to check the template against your jurisdiction. After that the same reviewed template serves many projects, which is a far better use of the fee than reviewing every contract.
