You are a consultant, designer, developer, accountant, marketing agency, cleaning company, or any other service provider. You do great work. Your clients are happy — until one is not.

Without a written service agreement, you have no protection when a client refuses to pay, demands unlimited revisions, claims they own your IP, or disputes what was included in the scope.

You have two ways to deal with this:One of them is done for you.

What goes wrong without one

  • “That was included in the price” — client demands work you never agreed to
  • “I own everything you made” — client claims IP ownership of your templates, code, or designs
  • “I’m not paying until it’s perfect” — client withholds payment indefinitely
  • “I need this changed again” — unlimited revision requests with no additional fee
  • No termination clause — you are stuck in a bad engagement with no exit

What your service agreement needs

  • Scope of work — exactly what you will deliver (and what you will not)
  • Fees and payment terms — how much, when, and what happens if they pay late
  • Revision limits — how many rounds are included, cost for additional rounds
  • IP ownership — who owns the deliverables (tip: retain ownership until full payment)
  • Confidentiality — protecting both sides’ information
  • Termination — how either party can end the agreement and what happens to work in progress
  • Liability cap — limit your liability to the fees paid

What changes when it is in writing

Same problem. What a prepared case looks like.

Before — doing it yourself
You agree the terms in a conversation.
Each person remembers it a little differently.
Something changes, and nobody can point to what was agreed.
Sorting it out later is harder than agreeing it now.
