Free Full Stack Developer
Service Agreement
One bad commit can gut your bank account faster than a burst pipe ruins a basement. Without a signed paper, you're just a volunteer waiting for a client to sue you for their own server meltdown.
Pro Contractor Tip
Lock in a 'Kill Fee' clause so you aren't left holding the bag when a client decides to pull the plug mid-build.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Full Stack Developer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when the client starts moving the goalposts on features?
Scope creep is a profit killer, so use your contract to define the job site boundaries and charge a change order fee for every new 'idea' they have.
How do I make sure I'm not chasing a check for three months?
Set a milestone payment schedule in the agreement where work stops the second the wire hits a snag—never work for free on a promise.
Who's liable if their legacy code breaks after I touch it?
Your contract needs to state you're only responsible for your own installs; don't let a client blame you for their existing structural rot just because you opened the wall.
