Free Machine Learning Engineer
Service Agreement
You just ran a $20,000 AWS bill for model training, and the client ghosted you, sticking you with the compute costs. One bad data migration can wipe out a client’s dataset, dropping a six-figure IP lawsuit directly onto your head.
Pro Contractor Tip
Demand a Compute Cost Reimbursement clause upfront so you aren't paying for the client’s GPU cycles out of your own pocket.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Machine Learning Engineer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.
