If something goes badly wrong, having a written dispute resolution process makes resolving problems smoother for you and your client. Reasons for termination by either party should be made clear in the termination section.
TerminationĬontracts protect freelancers when things go wrong. For example, can you post news of your collaboration on LinkedIn? Make confidentiality requirements clear for everyone. Some clients may not allow discussion of their work anywhere. A non-exclusivity clause guarantees you won’t be locked into a restrictive relationship with one client. Non-Exclusivityįreelancers usually work for multiple clients. You may need a limitation of purpose clause to prevent your work from being used for different reasons, such as being published in a different format or location. Who will have ownership of the finished work? When will ownership pass to the client? Are there any continuing royalties? Answer all these questions in your IP section. Once you know your tax liabilities, include any requirements in your contracts. You may need tax documents in certain countries. You’re running your own company, so protect your cash flow by specifying payment terms in every written contract.
Deliverables and milestonesĮvery client has a deadline and your agreement should include it, so all parties understand when work should be delivered. Protect your time and effort by specifying the editing and approval process in your proposal and agreement. Specific details about plagiarism, tools, and any website editing should be included. Your agreement with your clients should describe your services. Your scope section should also include any requirement of specific hours to be worked, if any.
Start every job with a clear understanding of what the client expects you to deliver. Each cinematographer agreement should contain sections dedicated to these topics: Scope of the project
