Free Ruby On Rails Developer
Service Agreement
One vague handshake and you’re footing the bill for a crashed production server while the client ghosts your final invoice. You'll be hemorrhaging cash on cloud costs and late nights while they strip your code for parts.
Pro Contractor Tip
Stick a non-negotiable 'Kill Fee' in there so you get paid for the materials and labor already spent if the client decides to walk mid-build.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Ruby On Rails Developer, "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 keeps adding 'just one more little feature'?
That's scope creep, and it’s a budget killer. Your contract should define the 'Work Site' limits so every new request triggers a signed Change Order with a fresh price tag before you touch the keyboard.
The client wants the code pushed to production before the final milestone is paid.
Never hand over the keys until the check clears. Use your agreement to state that all intellectual property and deployment rights stay with you until the final payment hits your bank account.
How do I get paid if an external API I'm forced to use breaks the whole build?
You aren't responsible for manufacturer defects. Your contract needs to clarify that you're building the house, not making the lumber, so you get paid for the labor required to fix or bypass someone else's broken tools.
