    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a freelance contract, and why do I need one?

    A freelance contract is a legal agreement that outlines the terms of your working relationship, including payment, deadlines, deliverables, and responsibilities. It helps protect both parties and ensures clarity and professionalism in the project.

    Can I customise the free freelance contract template?

    Absolutely! Our free freelance contract template is fully customisable to suit your specific project needs, including adjusting terms like payment schedules, scope of work, and deadlines.

    Can I use this freelance contract template for multiple projects?

    Yes, you can use the template for different freelance projects, but make sure to adjust the details (e.g., project scope, payment terms) for each new contract to reflect the specific requirements of the job.

    Is this freelance contract template suitable for all types of freelance work?

    Yes, our freelance contract template is versatile and can be used for a wide range of freelance work, including writing, design, programming, and consulting. You can adjust the terms to match the specific requirements of your industry or project.

    Is the freelance contract legally binding?

    Yes, once both parties sign the freelance contract, it becomes a legally binding document. It helps protect your rights and ensures both parties honor the agreed terms.

    Do I need a lawyer to create or review the freelance contract?

    While our template is designed to cover common freelance agreement terms, it’s always a good idea to have a lawyer review the contract if you have concerns or need specific legal advice tailored to your situation.

    How do I sign the freelance contract electronically?

    You can easily sign the freelance contract electronically using our eSignature platform. Once both parties sign, the contract becomes valid and legally binding.

    What happens if one party doesn’t follow the terms of the freelance contract?

    If either party fails to adhere to the terms of the contract, it may result in legal action, depending on the situation. The contract outlines the steps to resolve disputes, and you may need to seek legal counsel to enforce the agreement if necessary.

    “We use eSign at the University of Salford to issue copyright declaration forms when supplying copies of material to users of our archives. We used to issue the forms as attachments to emails, but users found it difficult to sign and return the forms, especially if they didn’t have a printer. Sending the forms using eSign has made it much easier and quicker for our users to sign and return the forms. From our end it is simple and straightforward to issue the forms via eSign and we get a notification when they have been completed.”
