Free Frontend Developer
Service Agreement
Stop handing over your production-ready source code and live staging links while hoping the client's 'check is in the mail.'
Pro Contractor Tip
Explicitly state in your contracts that the intellectual property rights and the license to deploy the source code only transfer to the client upon receipt of the final project payment.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Frontend Developer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I demonstrate a fully functional frontend without giving away the source code?
Our digital escrow system allows you to host a secure, time-locked staging environment for client review; the actual repository access and deployment keys are only released automatically once the final payment is verified.
Is there a way to 'watermark' code so it's protected during the handoff process?
Instead of modifying your code, use our secure digital vault to hold the production build. The system acts as a neutral third party that holds the 'unlocked' assets until the client's funds are secured, preventing the client from ghosting with your work.
What happens if a client refuses to pay after I've already finished the components?
By using an automated escrow workflow, you ensure that the client has committed the funds to the platform before you deliver the final files. If they don't pay, they never receive the clean source code, protecting your intellectual property from theft.
