Not directly answering your question, but giving you some general advice since this is your first contract:
1) Make the other party agree that all IP belongs to you until the final invoice is paid. This is often your only leverage should your client decide to stop paying you.
2) Send weekly updates VIA EMAIL to your client on what you've done. Do not do this over Slack or any other communications medium that they control. If they decide to revoke your access on Slack, you will no longer have access to those logs and no proof.
3) Set terms for post-contract support. Under no circumstances should you be providing unlimited free support after the contract is over.
- danielandrews43 9y agoThanks for the advice, makes sense to keep all the bases covered. Do you have any suggestion as to how I should set up post-contract support?
- vitaminbandit 9y agoSome people will only bill for invalid bug reports (wasting contractor's time). Others will allow X hours free support. Personally, I just charge as I normally would.
