Free Stream Designer
Service Agreement
One bad chargeback after a hundred hours of custom motion work doesn't just hurt—it guts your bank account and leaves you paying for the privilege of being robbed. Without a signed paper, you're just a volunteer waiting for a client's whim to turn your high-end rig into a very expensive paperweight.
Pro Contractor Tip
Hard-wire a 'Kill Fee' into your agreement so you get paid for the sweat you've already put in even if the client decides to quit streaming halfway through the build.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Stream Designer, "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 dragging the project out with endless 'tiny' changes; how do I stop the bleed?
That's scope creep, and it’s a slow death for your margins. Your contract needs to define exactly how many revisions are included in the flat fee; once they hit that limit, the agreement enforces a 'Change Order' rate for every extra minute you spend at the desk.
What if they take my stream graphics and start selling them on t-shirts without paying me more?
You’re getting fleeced because you didn't define ownership. A solid agreement specifies 'Limited Usage Rights' for the broadcast only—if they want to move into merch, the contract provides the framework for a commercial buyout fee that puts more cash in your pocket.
The streamer is a minor; can I still hold them to the deal if they refuse to pay?
You've got zero leverage if a kid signs your deal. You need the 'Signatory Authority' clause to ensure a legal adult or guardian puts their name on the dotted line, making the bill their problem and giving you a real path to collections if they try to ghost.
