Critical Red Flags
Work for Hire (Immediate): You lose all rights to your work berries before you even receive the first payment.
Egregious Payment Terms: Net-60 or Net-90 terms that turn you into an interest-free bank for the client.
Unlimited Revisions: No cap on rounds of feedback, leading to infinite work for a fixed price.
Indemnity for Business Loss: Making you liable for the client's 'lost profits' if a deadline is missed.
Must-Have Clauses
Kill Fee (Cancellation Payment): Guaranteed payment (e.g., 25-50%) if the project is killed mid-stream.
Late Payment Interest: A standard 1.5% - 2% monthly interest on overdue invoices to encourage on-time pay.
Usage License / IP Transfer: IP only transfers to the client *upon receipt of full and final payment*.
Defined Deliverables: A 'granularity' clause that lists exactly what is excluded from the price.
