Protect freelancers and clients with a clear contract covering scope of work, payment schedule, revisions, intellectual property ownership, and termination terms.
KEY TERMS
The Freelancer agrees to provide the services described in any attached project brief or statement of work. All deliverables, milestones, and acceptance criteria shall be mutually agreed upon before work commences.
The Client agrees to pay the Freelancer the project fee as agreed upon. Unless otherwise specified: 50% is due upon signing, and the remaining 50% is due upon final delivery and acceptance. Invoices are payable within 14 days of receipt.
The Agreement includes up to three (3) rounds of revisions. Additional revision rounds beyond this limit will be charged at the Freelancer's standard hourly rate.
The Freelancer is an independent contractor and not an employee of the Client. The Freelancer is solely responsible for their own taxes, insurance, equipment, and business expenses.
Upon receipt of full payment, the Client shall own all rights, title, and interest in the final deliverables. The Freelancer retains the right to display the work in their portfolio unless the Client requests otherwise in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. A written freelance contract protects both the freelancer and the client by clearly defining scope, payment, revisions, and IP ownership. Without one, disputes over deliverables or late payment are common and hard to resolve.
Key clauses: scope of work, payment schedule (e.g., 50% upfront), revision limits, IP transfer terms, confidentiality, timeline, and termination conditions. Noira's template includes all of these with sensible defaults.
Verbal agreements can be enforceable but are extremely difficult to prove in court. A written contract — especially one signed and stored onchain — provides clear, tamper-proof evidence of what was agreed.
Typically the client owns the final deliverables once full payment is made, while the freelancer retains portfolio rights unless otherwise agreed. Noira's template follows this standard but can be customized.
Two to three rounds of revisions is standard. Additional rounds should be billable at an hourly rate. Defining this upfront prevents 'scope creep' where a client requests endless changes without extra compensation.
