- Neither party is surprised by how long the work takes
- Roles and responsibilities are understood by all
- Payment requirements are clearly defined
Without this document, you and/or your client may experience one or more of these unwanted outcomes: delayed delivery, unrealistic expectations, unmet standards of quality, difficulty getting paid, and limited legal recourse when problems arise.
