      @OpenDoorCreative  4 года назад +1

      Of course. So the first part is just saying that it costs more if you have a tight deadline depending on what other projects you have going on. It’s paying for priority. The second part just means that they are still liable for other costs that pertain to the project like printing costs of the piece or web hosting or media cost etc. that’s not covered in contract (money exchanged between them and you).

    What If the clients defaults payments in the contract what do I do in that situation.

    • @OpenDoorCreative
      @OpenDoorCreative  4 года назад

      That’s why I like to add in that piece of getting half the money upfront (Ernest money). That way you don’t get completely burned. If it’s for enough, you might choose to take legal action. Remember to never share final files until final payment is submitted to you as well. Obviously, seek a legal experts advice but those are just some tips that I’ve had to implement.

  • @Orangeme

    Would the terms and stuff be the same and legal in the UK?

    • @OpenDoorCreative
      @OpenDoorCreative  3 года назад

      I’m not a lawyer so definitely don’t want to steer you wrong. I would do this minimum so that you essentially have a signed agreement covering some basic terms. But I still recommend doing more research to make sure you’re covered even more.

    Good day. I am a freelancer, and can I just create a contract myself and send it to my clients? Would that be considered legal in any way?

    • @OpenDoorCreative
      @OpenDoorCreative  3 года назад

      Yes if you have a signed contract/agreement to execute work you should be protected in some way. Obviously, the more detailed the better. With that being said, I’m not a legal advisor so more research is always a good idea so that you are as protected as possible.

The very second day I told him I need a contract and he promised to creare and send me. But afterwards nothing from him. Should I start with the project anyways or should start only after contract is received ?? I am really confused, please freelancers help. Thank you ))

    • @OpenDoorCreative
      @OpenDoorCreative  3 года назад

      Do not start the project until a contract is signed and you have clear direction on specs and what work is to be done. Typically, you as the freelancer should provide the contract once a written description of the deliverables and project details is received.

    Hello! Do you still use this style or did you improve some parts?
    This is an estimate but is considered as a contract/agreement?

    • @OpenDoorCreative
      @OpenDoorCreative  5 лет назад +1

      A signed estimate is a contract/agreement between a client and the worker for a certain work to be done for an indicated amount of dollars. It should cover you. But always do my research to be even more protected. This should be good if you’re just looking for a basic contract. Have at least this.

      Roscoe Maher unfortunately they are built in indesign so you would need that program to edit it. You might have to use it as a template and recreate your own in a program you do have. You should be able to copy the text from the pdf. Hope that helps.

      This is just a basic contract to give basic protection. Still acts as a binding contract without a lawyer. Definitely still seek legal advice for giant jobs that are for a huge sum of money. I have never used a lawyer on any of my over 100 freelance projects but definitely continue to seek out info on how to best protect yourself. Use this as a minimum, a starting point.
