Client Contracts and Service Agreements for Creative Businesses

The contract you send a client sets the terms for how you get paid, who owns the work, and what happens when something goes wrong. A downloaded template or a handshake agreement leaves those questions open, and they only become expensive when a client relationship goes sideways. These are the documents your clients sign before work begins.

Client Contract Services

  • Service Agreement — $1,197

    The foundational contract for service-based businesses. Sets out scope of work, fees, payment terms, IP ownership, and what happens when things don't go as planned.

  • Master Services Agreement — $1,797

    A governing contract for ongoing client relationships. Establishes the legal framework so that each new project only requires a statement of work.
