Free White Paper Expert
Service Agreement
You pour six weeks into their strategic white paper, and when it’s delivered, they claim it’s 'unacceptable' and refuse final payment. You just ate the entire project cost and handed them the foundation of your IP for free.
Pro Contractor Tip
Always bake a hard cap on revisions—a mandatory two rounds maximum—into your Statement of Work, or you're doing free work until they get bored.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a White Paper Expert, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.
