Frequently asked questions
Is a simple contract enforceable?
A clear written agreement that both parties sign is generally stronger than a verbal one. For high-value or complex work, have a lawyer review it. This template is not legal advice.
What should every contract include?
Who the parties are, what the work is, the timeline, the payment terms, and how the agreement can end.
Can I use it for ongoing work?
Yes. Describe the ongoing scope and payment schedule in the relevant sections.
