OMG! The Client Said YES and Now You're Drunk Stumbling Around the Internet Trying to Piece Together Some Kind of Professional Client Contract—GULP.
You know you're supposed to send them something—right?! You also know that you'll look like a total amateur dipidy doo if you don't. But how?! Where?! What should it say?! And can you piece one together real quick using random copy/paste clauses from around the internet? (Survey says: NO, VERY BAD IDEA. But also, who has the time? Not you, thunderbolt. You've got money to make.)
Enter: The Client Contract of Wet Dreams
Yes, that's really the name.
This Kit Slays Dragons to Protect You From
THINGS NORMAL PEOPLE DON'T THINK ABOUT LIKE
Client Non Payment
More than 70% of freelancers have trouble getting paid (Freelancer's Union)—and it's because they don't have a legally-binding contract. (Or any contract. Eeekkk!)
Client Refund Requests
"Yeah, I don't like what you've made, so I'm only paying you half." Or: "I'm disappointed and want my money back in full." NOT TODAY, SATAN.
Scope Creep
You agreed to take on a new project—but magically there are all sorts of extra, non-agreed-upon requests being "thrown in" that weren't in the scope. Nuh uh.
Cancellations
You agree to work with a client—and then they want to cancel the project beforehand, or terminate it midway through. What now? (Hint: your contract has the answer!)
Add-On Work
A client emails and asks if you add-on X, Y, or Z—for a fee. That's great, but your existing agreement doesn't cover it. But you don't want to be a pain and make them sign ANOTHER one.
The MIA Client
Client disappear? Become unresponsive? Later resurface & expect you to pick up where you left off—now that you're in the thick of something else? There are termination clauses for that, darling.
Intellectual Property
Repeat after me: if you don't get paid, intellectual property rights do not transfer—and a client cannot use work you've produced. Get this in your contract, stat, so help you gin tonic.
Use of Subcontractors
You have Gina, your awesome contractor, helping you with your projects—and then the client doesn't want to pay because they wanted the work performed 100% by YOU. Got you on this one, boo!
Liability + Lawsuits
Your deliverables take longer than expected and you need to push back the timeline. The client says your delay disrupted their profits. Good thing there's a clause that protects you for that. [laughs maniacally]
Tame Those Nightmare Clients
And never have to worry about things like inappropriate refund requests that don't respect your efforts, last minute client cancellations, or things that make you feel like you've just gotten hit in the face with a shovel.

Having the Master Client Service Agreement in my hands gave me the confidence to double my rate today when I sent an invitation to a potential new client. I almost threw up hitting the send button, but she already accepted my offer and is going to start working with me right away!
Shea Keats
I'm loving the Unf*ckwithable Contracts kit! I submitted the Master Client Services Agreement to two separate clients and they were both "very impressed with the level of professionalism." Thanks for making this available!
Josh Garofalo
Bought the kit. Tailored the Master Client Service Agreement to my biz and uploaded it into my proposal software. Sent it off to a prospect along with a $10,000 quote for a copy project. Deal closed. Money paid. We're batting 1,000 so far, Ash!

Shout out to Ash and this kit, which I’m already putting to use. I just got asked for a Statement of Work and was about to fire up Google until I remembered I had this bad boy sitting on my laptop. And sure enough, I found one sitting right there, ready for me to fill out. I feel so prepared!
