Marketing Site Refresh

Acme Ventures

This fixed-price web redesign includes discovery, UI implementation, and post-launch support. The current draft has ambiguous scope language and payment/termination terms that create risk for the freelancer.

criticalIP OwnershipSection 5.1

"Contractor transfers all IP rights upon signing, regardless of payment status."

You lose leverage and rights before payment is completed.

Suggested fix & impact

Suggested fix: IP transfer becomes effective only after full payment is received; prior to that client receives a limited review license.

Impact: Unpaid work with no retained rights or negotiation leverage.

criticalRevision PolicySection 3.4

"Contractor will provide revisions until client is fully satisfied."

Unlimited revisions create unbounded labor and timeline risk.

Suggested fix & impact

Suggested fix: Include two revision rounds per deliverable; additional revisions billed at hourly rate.

Impact: Scope creep and reduced project margin.

moderate (2)

moderatePayment TermsSection 6.2

"Invoices payable within 60 days."

Long payment window creates cash-flow strain.

Suggested fix & impact

Suggested fix: Change to Net-14 or Net-30 with 50% upfront.

Impact: Delayed cash and higher collection risk.

moderateKill FeeSection 9.1

"Either party may terminate at any time."

No compensation guaranteed for in-progress work after sudden termination.

Suggested fix & impact

Suggested fix: Add a kill fee equal to 20% of remaining contract value plus payment for work completed.

Impact: Lost revenue and unrecoverable planning costs.
