Contract template for ad hoc pieces of work

[BigLadFromBeeston666]

Does anyone have a contract template they use to sell ad hoc pieces of work to clients? To be clear, this isn't the standard contract you'll sign with an agency on a day rate. This is a fixed fee type of work with a client directly.

In the past, I've adapted contracts I've received from companies and used those. But, it's been a while since I did a side gig like this.

I was also looking at free versions of Docusign, to make proceedings appear a little bit more legitimate. Any advice on those?

Cheers :-)

Can't help if it's not a standard contracting one but you could look through all the previous requests to see if something helps. Put the following in to google.

OK cheers. For anyone in a similar situation I found:

• https://www.qdoscontractor.com/ir35/...ract-templates (seems to be pretty good -- a lot better than the IPSE one which had typos!)
• RabbitSign -- free docusign alternative

In case any weary travels end up here :salute:

Yeah the QDOS one is usually my go to for these questions but it's more a standard contracting one which I didn't think you wanted sorry.

Oh, that's interesting. My logic was that the 'direct with client' version had quite a bit of IR35 guff in it, at first. Then I reconsidered and thought, well it's probably best that it's watertight in case of repeat business with the client. I think I'll crack on with this and see how I end up.

Does IPSE still have a library of contract templates?

Ah in that case yes it's the go to one. When you said ad-hoc work I thought you meant delivering a package in your own time rather than ad-hoc contractor type pieces of work. You might need deliver/payment milestones and warranties on work etc that we generally don't.

So yeah, can't do much wrong starting off with that one.

For the Docusign equivalent, I use xodo sign (formerly Eversign), free for 5 docs a month, and very easy to use, highly recommend.
