    Super simple to use template!

    I have not yet had the chance to use my template, but I am so happy I have it for when I need it. I am in the process of starting my business and this is absolutely perfect! I have reviewed the contract, and it looks so simple to complete for each client. In addition, it is very easy to understand which will make it easy to explain to future clients. I am so glad I purchased this and cannot recommend it enough!

    Exactly What I Needed

    I use this contract for both my retainer and hourly work, and it works exactly how I needed it to. It was also so simple and fast to implement in Dubsado.

    I’m not a lawyer

    I didn’t know exactly what to include in my contract to make it a contract. This template helps me feel confident in a way a Google search never did.

    Quick and painless

    Your contract was great! Took me less than an hour to customize and send it off; way faster than piecing together something out of all the random contracts I have sitting around.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who created these contract templates?

    All of our templates are drafted by Christina Scalera, a licensed attorney. They are also peer-reviewed by at least two licensed attorneys—one based in the US and one based in the country the template will be used in [for example, for all of our Canadian entrepreneurs, we have a Canadian attorney review those templates]. 

    These templates are now in use by over 5,000 creatives. That’s a lot of feedback we’ve been able to process and use to improve our templates!

    What do I have to do after I download my template?

    Each template is delivered immediately in PDF and Word formats for easy use "as is." You'll receive access to your lifetime portal shortly after your purchase, where you can always go back to access the most recent version of the template and learn how to upload your template to any e-signing platform of your choice.

    You'll get plenty of instructions as to how to use your template with your download, and in your Hold My Hand™ guide [available for most contract templates], we'll also show you how to make the most of your contract. Pinky swear, I send my clients proposals in less than 30 seconds, and so can you. 

    Do these contract templates work in my state?

    Getting your contract template reviewed by an attorney in your area is a good idea, but starting with one of our templates will save you a ton of money. After all, having a very well-drafted, peer-reviewed, used-by-many contract is better than nothing.

    Learn more aboutthe validity of our contracts state-by-state

    I live in Canada, Australia, the UK, or outside the United States. Can I use your contract templates?

    Yes! Our contract templates are not dependent on local laws and are applicable no matter where your clients are in the world. Our philosophy is that we want to capture the spirit and mutual understanding of the relationship between the service provider and client in an easy-to-understand, accessible way.

    Therefore, we have international versions of select contract templates for convenience, but not out of necessity. Our Hold My Hand™ guide will walk you through how to adjust for international use.

    What if this contract is not a good fit for my business?

    We get it, sometimes things don't work out. That's why we offer a 14-day no-hassle refund for any reason. You don't have to show us anything. You don't have to prove anything. We'll ask you some simple admin questions to get your refund processed and the funds will be back in your account within 6 business days.

    How can I reach a person to help me?
