Contracts are an essential part of working online — they help you and your client to outline what to expect of one another, and protects you against losses. Without a contract there's no legal requirement for the other party to pay you upon completion of work, which means having one is essential to running a successful business.
It's important to remember a contract cannot simply favor you, it has to be fair to your clients and helps to reassure them that the work will be completed in a timely manner and within budget. Getting a contract drawn up can be expensive, so to help you get started we have collected 10 free contracts available to download and customize.
