Is Your Client Contract Fair?
Find out instantly whether your agreement protects your work, your payment, and your rights.
What's at stake
The Freelance clauses most people miss, and what they can cost you.
You might not own, or get paid for, your own work
Overbroad “work for hire” and pre-existing-IP clauses can hand over everything, including your tools and unused concepts. We map exactly who owns what.
No kill fee means you can work for free
If a client can cancel anytime with no compensation, your time is unprotected. We flag missing kill fees and one-sided cancellation terms.
Vague “approval” clauses let clients withhold payment
Payment tied to subjective “satisfaction,” unlimited revisions, and broad non-solicits are how freelancers get squeezed. We catch them all.

Freelance contract FAQs
Does my client automatically own the work I create?+
No, not automatically. For independent contractors, "work made for hire" under the US Copyright Act only transfers ownership for specific categories and only with a signed written agreement. Without the right language, you may keep more rights than the contract assumes. We map exactly who owns what.
What is a kill fee and do I need one?+
A kill fee is compensation you receive if the client cancels the project partway through. Without one, a client can walk away and leave your time unpaid. We flag missing kill fees and one-sided cancellation terms.
Can a client refuse to pay because they’re "not satisfied"?+
If payment is tied to vague, subjective "approval" or "satisfaction," yes, that’s how freelancers get squeezed. We surface payment-on-approval clauses, unlimited-revision terms, and other ways your invoice can be held hostage.
Could this contract get me misclassified as an employee?+
Contracts that control how, when, and where you work can create IRS 1099 misclassification risk for both sides. We flag terms that look more like employment than an independent engagement.
