Detected risks
Work-for-hire is too broad
You can lose background templates and reusable tools.
One-sided indemnity
You may cover risks you cannot control (client content, third parties).
Late payment has no penalties
You do the work but wait months for payment.
Termination rules are unclear
A cancellation can turn into a dispute about what you’re owed.
Scope is open-ended
“As needed” language creates scope creep and unpaid work.
Acceptance is subjective
Payment can be delayed indefinitely if approval is “to our satisfaction”.
