Service Agreement
One botched memory allocation can blow a hole through a client's server and land you in a legal meat grinder. If you aren't protected, you're just one segfault away from losing your house and your reputation.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to cap your financial exposure at the total cost of the job, or you're betting your life savings on a compiler flag.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Rust Developer, "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 asking for 'one more quick fix'—how do I stop the bleeding?
That's scope creep, and it'll kill your margins faster than a bad trade. Use a 'Change Order' clause to require a signed price adjustment for every new request so they know extra work means extra cash.
What happens if the project gets scrapped halfway through?
You'll be out of pocket for the hours you already clocked if you don't have a 'Kill Fee' clause. A solid contract ensures you get paid for every ounce of progress made up to the moment they pull the plug.
How do I protect the custom tools and libraries I built before this job?
Don't hand over your toolbox for the price of a repair. Clearly define 'Pre-existing Intellectual Property' in your agreement to ensure you keep ownership of your proprietary code while the client only gets the final build.
