Freelancer Service Agreement Template

Create a clear freelancer contract with scope, deliverables, revisions, payment terms, ownership of the work and termination.

Runs in your browser. Your input is processed on your device and is not uploaded to our server.

This is a draft, not legal advice. It is built from general templates and your answers, and no template can guarantee legal compliance. Check it against the laws that apply to you and what your business really does, ideally with a qualified lawyer. Your answers stay in this browser.

Only what you enter is stated as fact. Anything left blank stays out of the draft, or appears as a marked gap for you to fill in.

How to use the Freelancer Service Agreement Template

  1. Answer the questions. You only see those that matter for this document, and answers carry over to the other generators.
  2. Read the draft as it updates, fill in the gaps marked in yellow, and edit the text if you need to.
  3. Copy it, print it, or download it as TXT, HTML or PDF, and have it reviewed before you use it.

Agree the details before you start

Most freelance disputes come from unclear scope, unlimited revisions or late payment. This template covers those, along with who owns the finished work. Signing it does not by itself settle whether someone is legally self-employed: that depends on how the work is really done.
