It ensures both parties are aligned on deliverables, timelines, payment terms, and responsibilities, helping to create a clear foundation for a professional working relationship.
Why do you need a client agreement?

When should you use a client agreement?
You should use a client agreement whenever you provide professional services—whether for a single project or ongoing engagements. It is particularly important when working on high-value projects, handling sensitive information, or collaborating over extended periods.
How to write a client agreement?
