Freelancer Contract Templates – Service Agreement, SOW, NDA & Change Order (Word & Google Docs)

Stop starting every client from a blank page. This kit gives you a clear, reusable contract setup: sign the main terms once with each client, then use a short Statement of Work for each project.

What's inside

• Freelance Service Agreement: 17 plain-English sections covering fees and payment, changes, delivery and acceptance, intellectual property, confidentiality, independent contractor status, limitation of liability, ending the agreement, and governing law.
• Statement of Work: deliverables, milestones, client inputs, revisions, fees and acceptance criteria for each project.
• Mutual NDA: two-way confidentiality for early project discussions.
• Change Order: records changes to scope, fees or timeline before the work starts.
• Deliverable Acceptance Form: written sign-off against the agreed criteria.
• Clause Guide and Checklist: what each clause does, what to fill in, which clauses to check against local law, and a checklist to run before you send.
• Start Here guide: 7 pages on setup for Word and Google Docs.
