When to use it.

Design Services Contract is a five-page agreement for freelance designers and studios, written to be opened in Word and marked up by the client. A black cover carries the title and both parties, then plain numbered clauses cover the work, the deliverables, the timeline, the fee as a payment table, revisions, ownership of the work, confidentiality and how either side can end it. Everything you replace is tinted, so you can see at a glance what still needs filling in. It ends with signature lines for both sides and a reminder to have it reviewed for your jurisdiction.

Made for
