Three questions your contract must answer before work starts
What gets delivered, when it's due, and what happens when it isn't — if your current agreement skips any of these, it isn't protecting you.
Where vague agreements break down
Scope of Work
Defines exactly what you're delivering — and names what you're not. Every revision round, file format, and platform must be listed here or it's negotiable mid-project.
Timeline and Milestones
Pins delivery dates to specific milestones, not a vague 'when it's done.' Late fees and kill-fee triggers attach here so both parties know the cost of delay.
Payment and Remedy
States the invoice schedule, accepted payment methods, and what happens if payment is withheld — including who owns the work until the final deposit clears.
Customizable in eight minutes. Enforceable the moment it's signed.
The LawDepot freelance service agreement covers all three clauses above. Fill in your specifics, review the payment section, and you're done — no lawyer required for a straightforward project.
