13 plain-English clauses Typed-signature acceptance EN + 繁體中文

Stop starting work on a handshake

Most freelance disputes — scope creep, unpaid invoices, "can you just change one more thing", arguments over who owns the files — trace back to one missing step: a written agreement before the work begins. Bonsai, HoneyBook and Plutio solve this, but they want a monthly subscription, a login, and your client data on their servers. This is the opposite: a single web page that builds a real proposal or service contract, keeps everything on your computer, and costs nothing to use.

Fill in your business profile once and it auto-fills every future document. Add the client, write the scope (and an out-of-scope list — that one list prevents most scope creep), set your pricing, toggle the clauses you want, and you have a document a client can read, accept and sign.

What you can do

Proposal or contract

Build a proposal, a service agreement, or both in one document.

Plain-English clause library

13 freelancer clauses — scope, payment, late fees, revisions, IP, kill fee, confidentiality and more. Toggle and edit each.

Scope & out-of-scope

Spell out exactly what is and isn't included so "one more thing" is a paid change request.

Deposit & milestone pricing

Fixed, hourly or milestone pricing with deposit, discount and balance-due math.

Typed-signature acceptance

Both parties sign with dates, right in the document.

How to send a contract in 3 steps

  1. Set up your profile and client — business details fill in automatically next time.
  2. Write the scope and pick clauses — set deposit and milestone pricing, and add an out-of-scope list.
  3. Save as PDF and send — the client reviews, accepts and signs the typed-signature block.

Free vs. Pro

The free maker above produces a complete, sendable contract. The one-time ProposalPro Pro ($15) removes the single-document cap and the print watermark and unlocks JSON backup — pay once, own it forever, no subscription. It sits right before InvoicePro in your workflow: agree and sign here, invoice there. Get all five tools in the $39 Freelance Tools Suite · also on Payhip.

Frequently asked questions

Is this contract maker free?
Yes. The free version builds a complete proposal or service agreement in your browser with no account. An optional one-time Pro version removes the single-document cap and the print watermark.
Are these contracts legally valid?
The clauses cover what freelancers most often get burned on, and they are a strong starting point — but this tool does not give legal advice. For high-value or unusual work, have a lawyer confirm what is enforceable where you are.
Can the client sign it?
Yes. There is a typed-signature acceptance block for both parties with dates, and you can Save-as-PDF to send for signing.
Can I reuse my details and clauses?
Yes. Your business profile auto-fills new documents, the clause library is editable, and you can save, duplicate and back up documents.
Is my data private?
Completely. Everything is stored locally with zero network requests — nothing about your clients or pricing is uploaded.
