Whether you operate as a solo freelancer or a small agency changes what your contract needs to say. The core protections are the same, but a few clauses matter more depending on how you work.
Solo freelancer contracts
- Keep liability capped at the fee — you can't absorb business-scale risk.
- Be explicit about working hours and response times to manage expectations.
- Tie IP transfer strictly to full payment.
Agency / team contracts
- Add a sub-contracting clause if you bring in other freelancers.
- Define team access to client accounts and confidentiality across the team.
- Clarify the point of contact and escalation path.
What stays the same
Scope, milestones, revision limits, payment terms, dispute resolution under Indian law, and a clear acknowledgement — these protect you whether you're one person or ten. Pakkawork generates a complete contract either way, and you adjust the specifics before sending.
