Stop a client from refusing to pay, then suing you for the work they got.

Starts at $197 and includes training. Full contract packages include 2 months with a 20-year lawyer.
Get This Contract →Verbal agreements and bad contracts cost service providers millions every year.
You do the work. You deliver. And then the client decides they’re not happy — or just not paying. Maybe they claim it wasn’t what they asked for. Maybe they say your work caused them a loss.
You go to collect, and realize your “contract” was an email chain, or a template with no real scope, payment, or liability terms. Now the client has the work, you have no leverage, and you’re the one getting sued.
This is the contract that gets you paid and keeps you protected.
What This Contract Defends Against.
These aren’t hypotheticals. They’re scenarios that play out in real courtrooms — and they’re the reason every clause in this contract exists.
The “Scope Creep” Lawsuit
A client keeps demanding work beyond what you agreed to. You push back. They claim you failed to deliver what was “promised” and refuse to pay — or sue for non-performance.
Defined scope of work + change-order provisions that draw a clear line around what’s included — and require written sign-off (and payment) for anything beyond it.
The Unpaid Final Invoice
You deliver the work. The client disputes the final invoice, drags out payment, or simply ghosts — and there are no enforceable terms forcing them to pay.
Payment terms, late fees, and a work-stoppage / ownership-on-payment clause — so you hold leverage and aren’t handing over final deliverables before you’re paid.
The Liability Counter-Suit
A client claims your work caused them a business loss — lost revenue, a failed launch, a missed deadline — and comes after you for damages far beyond what they ever paid you.
Limitation-of-liability and disclaimer provisions that cap your exposure — typically to the fees paid — and rule out runaway consequential damages.
These are just 3 of the scenarios that play out in court. There are many more. Every battle-tested clause in this contract exists because of something I’ve seen in 20 years of litigation and business.

Questions About This Contract.
Are you my lawyer? Is this legal advice?
No. These contracts and all related materials are educational and informational only. Purchase does not create an attorney-client relationship and no attorney-client privilege applies. No legal advice is provided through any product. Karam Nahas is not your attorney unless you sign a separate written legal engagement agreement. Consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction for advice specific to your situation.
Does this work for project-based AND ongoing services?
Yes. The agreement is built as a Master Services Agreement — the master terms stay constant, and you attach a scope/statement of work for each project or engagement. That makes it equally suited to one-off projects and ongoing retainers. The walkthrough video shows you how to use it both ways.
How does it handle payment terms — deposits, milestones, etc.?
It supports deposits, milestone payments, retainers, and net terms — whatever fits your business — plus late fees and a work-stoppage right for non-payment. The walkthrough covers which structure protects you best for your service type.
Does it include liability caps?
Yes — a limitation-of-liability clause (typically capping exposure at fees paid) and disclaimers that rule out consequential damages. This is the single most important protection for service providers, and most template contracts leave it out.
What about subcontractors I bring in?
The agreement addresses your right to use subcontractors and keeps you protected when you do. Pair it with a Work-for-Hire Agreement and the Inside-the-Tent NDA for the people you bring on. The walkthrough explains how the pieces fit.
Who owns the work product?
You decide — the agreement lets you set IP ownership and, importantly, tie transfer of ownership to full payment, so a client can’t use your deliverables before they’ve paid for them. The walkthrough covers how to set this for your situation.
