Frequently Asked Questions

How should I use this contract draft?+
Prepare a structured first draft. Contracts require jurisdiction-specific clauses and should be reviewed by a qualified attorney when the engagement is high-value or unusual.
What goes in a freelance contract?+
At a minimum: scope, timeline, payment terms, IP ownership, confidentiality expectations, and termination terms. Clear scope and change control reduce disputes.
Fixed-price or hourly?+
Fixed-price works well for clear deliverables and low uncertainty. Hourly is safer when scope is evolving. Consider adding milestones or caps either way.
How should I handle IP ownership and portfolio rights?+
Most contracts assign IP to the client upon full payment, while granting the freelancer limited portfolio display rights. The right structure depends on the work type and your client's requirements.
What payment terms prevent disputes?+
Clear invoicing cadence (milestones or weekly/monthly), explicit due dates, late fees (if allowed), and a defined revision/change request process. Align terms with your SOW so scope and billing stay consistent.
Is my data private?+
