Contract review: a freelance designer's services agreement
One-page summary
You agree to design a logo, packaging for 6 products and a brand guide for a fixed fee of $9,500, paid in two parts. Overall the contract is workable, but four clauses shift most of the risk to you. The biggest issues are payment timing, unlimited revisions and the full transfer of rights before you are paid.
Risky clauses
| Clause | What it says | Why it matters | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.2 Payment | Final 50% due "within 60 days of final acceptance" | Acceptance has no deadline, so payment can be delayed indefinitely | High |
| 5.1 Revisions | "Contractor shall make revisions until the Client is satisfied" | No limit on rounds; scope can grow without extra pay | High |
| 7.1 IP transfer | All rights pass to Client "upon creation" | You lose rights to unused concepts even if not paid | High |
| 9.3 Termination | Client may terminate at any time with 7 days' notice | No payment for work already done is mentioned | Medium |
| 11 Non-compete | No work for "any home goods company" for 12 months | Very broad; could block a large part of your market | Medium |
Missing protections
- No late payment interest or right to pause work if invoices are overdue
- No right to show the work in your portfolio
- No cap on your liability (currently unlimited under clause 10)
Suggested wording
Clause 4.2: "The final payment is due within 15 days of delivery of final files. If the Client does not raise written objections within 10 days of delivery, the work is considered accepted."
Clause 5.1: "The fee includes up to three rounds of revisions per deliverable. Further revisions are billed at $65 per hour."
Clause 7.1: "Rights to the final approved designs pass to the Client upon full payment. Unused concepts remain the property of the Contractor."
New clause: "The Contractor may display the final work in a personal portfolio after the product launch."
Questions to the other side
- Who signs off final acceptance, and within what time?
- Can the non-compete be limited to direct competitors named in a list?
This review is not legal advice. Have a qualified lawyer in your country check it before you sign.
