Free Ux Writer Service Agreement

One bad string of microcopy in a checkout flow can bleed a client’s revenue dry in an hour. Without a contract, they’ll treat your personal savings like an insurance policy to cover their losses.

Pro Contractor Tip

Include a 'Payment Milestone' clause so you aren't financing the client's project with your own rent money while waiting for a 'final' approval that never comes.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Ux Writer, "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 their feet on feedback, and now I'm behind on other jobs. How do I fix this?

Time is gear. Use a 'Client Delay' clause in your agreement that triggers a restart fee or a deadline extension so their laziness doesn't cost you your next paycheck.

They’re asking me to write marketing emails and blog posts now, but I signed up for UX. What do I do?

That’s scope creep, and it’s a parasite. Point them to the 'Statement of Work' in your contract and tell them any extra tasks require a signed Change Order and a higher rate.

The project got scrapped three weeks in and they don't want to pay for the work I already did.

This is why you bake a 'Kill Fee' into the contract; it guarantees you get a percentage of the remaining balance for the time you blocked off on your schedule.
