Free Medical Illustrator
Service Agreement
Spend eighty hours mapping a neurovascular system just for the client to ghost the invoice and leave you holding the bill for your five-thousand-dollar workstation. One minor anatomical error without a signed agreement and you're staring down a professional liability nightmare that'll liquidate your bank account.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include an Indemnification Clause to ensure you aren't held liable if a medical professional makes a clinical error while referencing your illustrations.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Medical Illustrator, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The client keeps demanding 'small tweaks' to the cellular structures—how do I stop the bleeding?
Every contract needs a hard cap on revisions; once they hit that limit, the clock starts ticking at your premium hourly rate to kill scope creep dead.
They want the raw project files before the final check arrives.
You don't hand over the keys until the job is paid in full. A written agreement keeps the high-res files on your drive as leverage until that balance hits zero.
What if they use my surgical diagram in a textbook I didn't agree to?
Specify the exact usage rights in your contract so that any 'extra' use of your work triggers an automatic licensing fee they're legally bound to pay.
