Free Shopify Theme Developer
Service Agreement
That final 50% retainer isn't guaranteed; clients disappear after launch and run the store using your unpaid labor. You lose the money, the time, and now you have to pay a lawyer just to get them to stop using your damn code.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a "License Contingency Clause" that explicitly grants the production license to the client's custom theme only upon successful receipt of the final contract payment.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Shopify Theme Developer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.
