Agreement

Which side are you?

Will this SOW produce deliverables?

Deliverables are things the customer keeps, like code, designs, or a report.

What are the deliverables?

List each item the customer will receive.

When does the customer own the deliverables?

Pick the last day of the engagement.

How are the fees structured?

Fixed fee suits a defined scope. Hourly suits open-ended work. Milestones tie payment to accepted progress.

How often will invoices be sent?

Monthly in arrears is the most common cadence.

How long does the customer have to pay?

Net 30 is the standard commercial payment period.

Do you require any advanced terms?

Things like acceptance windows, customer obligations, expense reimbursement, or other SOW-only changes.

After this window a deliverable is treated as accepted. Ten days is a workable default.

Optional. Access, contacts, content, or other dependencies that keep the project on track.

Will the customer reimburse expenses?

Choose Yes only if travel or third-party costs are expected on this project.

How should disputes be resolved?
