Free Motion Graphics Designer
Service Agreement
Stop handing over high-resolution renders and source files before the invoice clears, praying your client doesn't disappear with your hours of work.
Pro Contractor Tip
Explicitly state in your terms of service that all copyright ownership and usage licenses are retained by the designer until the final project invoice is paid in full.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Motion Graphics Designer, "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 prevent clients from screen-recording my work-in-progress animations and using them without paying?
By using a digital escrow system, your previews are automatically layered with dynamic watermarks and presented in lower resolution, with the 'clean' high-resolution files only becoming available for download once the final payment is secured.
Managing final file delivery and manual invoices is time-consuming; can this be streamlined?
Automated digital escrow removes the manual 'wait for wire' phase by acting as a secure middleman that releases your deliverables the millisecond the client's payment is verified, ensuring a frictionless handoff.
What if a client claims they never received the final render to delay my payment?
The system provides an immutable audit trail of delivery and download timestamps, ensuring there is no ambiguity about whether the assets were received, which triggers the secure release of funds to your account.
