Free Django Developer
Service Agreement
Scope creep is a parasite that eats your margins until you're working for pennies and your rent check bounces. One bad database migration without a signed spec means you’re on the hook for their lost revenue and every cent of those blown server costs.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a strict 'Limitation of Liability' clause so a bug in your code doesn't give them a legal path to seize your house or your hardware.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Django Developer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when the client wants 'just one more little button' after the build is done?
That's scope creep, and it kills your hourly rate; use a Change Order clause to ensure every new request triggers a new invoice before you touch a single key.
How do I avoid chasing them for the final check for three months?
Stop work the second a milestone payment is late; use a Milestone Payment schedule in your agreement to ensure you're paid for the foundation before you ever start on the roof.
Am I responsible for the server costs while I'm building the damn thing?
You aren't a bank; your contract should clearly state the client provides all 'materials' including hosting and third-party API credits, or you're just giving them an interest-free loan.
