Frequently Asked Questions

Is this contract generator legal advice?+
No. This generator provides a general-purpose template and is not legal advice. Contracts can require jurisdiction-specific clauses and should be reviewed by a qualified attorney.
What should I include 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.
Should I use fixed-price or hourly?+
It depends. Fixed-price can work well for clear deliverables and low uncertainty. Hourly can be safer when scope is evolving. Consider adding milestones or caps.
How should I handle IP ownership and portfolio rights?+
Many contracts assign IP to the client upon full payment, while allowing limited portfolio display rights for the freelancer. The right structure depends on the work type and your client's requirements. Review carefully.
What payment terms help avoid disputes?+
Use clear invoicing cadence (milestones or weekly/monthly), 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?+
