Service Agreement — Freelancer
A freelancer service agreement clearly defines what is ordered, at what price and by when. It also addresses critical points such as intellectual property — when it transfers to the client, the right of withdrawal, and payment terms including advance payment. It protects both the freelancer and the client from misunderstandings.
