Project & Payment Terms
These sample terms outline common project expectations and must be aligned with each signed proposal.
1. Scope and deliverables
The proposal should identify deliverables, exclusions, milestones, client responsibilities, revision limits, support periods, and third-party costs.
2. Payments
A project may require an advance deposit and milestone payments. Exact percentages, due dates, taxes, and accepted payment methods must be stated in the proposal or invoice.
3. Client responsibilities
The client is responsible for timely content, approvals, access credentials, legal permissions, and accurate information. Delays in these inputs may affect the schedule.
4. Revisions and change requests
Included revisions apply to the agreed scope. New features, major direction changes, repeated revisions, or work requested after approval may require a revised quotation and timeline.
5. Third-party services
Domains, hosting, software subscriptions, stock assets, advertising spend, payment gateways, and external platforms may have separate fees and terms.
6. Intellectual property and handover
Final ownership, usage rights, source files, licenses, and handover conditions should be stated in the proposal. Transfer is generally subject to full payment.
7. Acceptance and support
The proposal should define the acceptance process, issue-reporting window, launch responsibilities, and any post-launch maintenance arrangement.
