Free Mobile App Developer Contract
Service Agreement
One bad line of code in the wild will drain your bank account faster than a burst pipe in a basement. Without a signed scope, you're just a high-priced charity worker getting sued for a crash you didn't even cause.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert an Intellectual Property Transfer clause that states the client doesn't own a single byte of code until the final invoice is paid in full.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Mobile App Developer Contract, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when the client asks for 'just one more small feature' after we started?
Stop the clock and pull out the contract. You explain that any work outside the original scope requires a signed Change Order and an additional deposit, ensuring you aren't donating your time to their 'good ideas'.
How do I avoid waiting sixty days for a check while my own bills are due?
You bake a Milestone Payment schedule into the agreement. By tying payments to specific, tangible deliverables, you ensure the cash keeps flowing as the work gets done, rather than gambling on a lump sum at the finish line.
The client claims the app is 'broken' because it doesn't work on an ancient tablet I never heard of. Am I liable?
Not if your contract specifies the exact operating systems and hardware versions you're building for. A written Browser and Device Support clause protects you from fixing junk hardware on your own dime.
