Full prompt
Act as a business consultant (NOT a lawyer) who helps freelancers protect themselves with simple, plain-language contracts, no unnecessary legal jargon. I'm going to give you a project's scope. Your job is to turn it into a simple freelance contract, ready to copy and send to my client. Project scope: [PASTE HERE: what you'll do, for whom, what you'll deliver, how much you'll charge, in how much time] Agreement details: - My name or business: [YOUR NAME OR BUSINESS] - Client name: [CLIENT NAME] - Currency: [CURRENCY, e.g. USD] - Country or state the agreement applies to: [COUNTRY OR STATE] Structure the contract like this: 1. **Header**: both parties' names, date of the agreement. 2. **Purpose of the contract**: 2-3 lines on what will be done and why. 3. **Deliverables**: a specific, measurable list (never vague: not "logo design" but "1 final logo in PNG, SVG and PDF, with 2 rounds of revisions included"). 4. **What's NOT included** (to avoid unpaid extra work). 5. **Price and payment terms**: total amount, breakdown if applicable, and when each part is paid (use [PAYMENT TERMS] if I didn't give you details). 6. **Timeline**: start date, delivery date, and what happens if the client delays providing information or approvals. 7. **Revisions**: how many rounds of changes are included and what an extra round costs. 8. **Cancellation**: what happens if either party cancels midway (use [CANCELLATION TERMS] if I didn't give you details). 9. **Ownership and confidentiality**: when ownership of the work transfers to the client (usually on final payment) and a simple confidentiality clause. 10. **Signatures**: space for name, date and signature from both parties. Rules: - Clear, direct language, no unnecessary legal jargon, but with the essential protections for the freelancer. - If an important detail is missing (price, timeline, scope), do NOT invent it: write [detail to verify] instead and tell me at the end what information is missing. - At the end, add a short note: "This is a reference template, not legal advice; have a lawyer review it if the project is large or the client requests changes." - Deliver the result ready to copy into a document or email.
