Free Virtual Assistant Contract
Service Agreement
One day you're managing their life, the next they've ghosted your invoice and locked you out of every system. Without a signed contract, you're just a glorified volunteer waiting for a client to burn your bank account to the ground.
Pro Contractor Tip
Always include a 'Work Stoppage' clause so you can legally kill all services the second a payment is one hour late.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Virtual Assistant Contract, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when the client starts dumping extra 'little tasks' on me that weren't in the deal?
You point directly to the 'Scope of Work' section in your contract and tell them anything outside those lines requires a signed Change Order and a higher rate.
The client disappeared without paying for the last twenty hours of work—how do I get my money?
You don't chase them like a beggar; you send a formal demand letter citing the 'Late Payment' penalties in your agreement and stop all work until the balance clears.
How do I protect myself if I accidentally delete an important file and the client threatens to sue?
Your contract needs a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to cap your financial exposure, ensuring a single honest mistake doesn't cost you your entire life savings.
