Project Agreement

What is a Project Agreement?



Who is doing what and under what circumstances?
Who retains ownership rights over the product?
Who is completing the project?


What is going to happen every step of the project?
In what circumstances will Escrow be used? Escrow is a risk free way to do business.
An employer can refuse to release funds to a freelancer if they find their work unsatisfactory.
If problems arise, what should be done?
What is the size of the product i.e number of pages or words required, and the format of the article?


How will the project be completed? In a day, week or in a month?
How many due dates does the employer want?
One due date or a couple in an effort to break the project down into manageable parts.
How will disputes be settled if any should arise. An employer can take advantage of mediation and arbitration services, if an issue between them erupts that can’t be easily resolved.
If necessary, how will revisions be made?


When and under what situation should termination occur?
Should it occur when the freelancer continues to turn in work that is sub-par? Is the freelancer hard to contact?
Does the freelancer continually fail to meet numerous deadlines?


Where and in what way will communication take place between employer and freelancer? By email, phone or in person?


A Project Agreement is just the map you will need as you drive the sometimes sunny, sometimes difficult road when trying to complete a project.
