If you miss the step of having your client signing a client contract, you are taking just their word and leaving everything to fate. Regardless of your industry, you just need to have a customized agreement and have your clients sign them from the very beginning. Here are just a few examples of the risks involving not having a contract:
– You risk not being paid.
– Start and end dates could be misunderstood.
– Client just claims a refund assuming you will provide one, no matter what.
– They just think you can be reached at any time, any date of the week.
– There is no clarity on how sessions/calls will be handled.
– Your intellectual property is not being protected, as you are not clearly saying they cannot copy it or lend it.
– They are not openly allowing you to use their testimonial.
Making them sign a contract is not so they are cared, it is only for your protection and so all conditions are understood.
