Business contracts are designed by lawyers to protect the company that drafted them — not you. Behind the professional formatting are clauses that can expose you to unlimited liability, lock you into unfavorable auto-renewals, or silently transfer your intellectual property.

Risks we catch
You're personally responsible for damages with no cap — one bad project could cost you everything you have.
They can end the contract at will with 30 days notice, but you're locked in for the full 12-month term.
Contract renews automatically for another full year unless you send written notice 60-90 days before — easy to miss.
Everything you create during the engagement — even tangentially related work — becomes their property permanently.
You're on the hook for their losses, legal fees, and damages, but the same protection doesn't apply to you.
No clear deliverables or milestones means they can demand more work without paying more — endless scope creep.
What people miss
These are the things we see most often — and the ones that cost people the most.
There's no such thing as a standard contract. Every agreement is drafted to favor the party that wrote it. "Standard" just means "we use this with everyone" — not "this is fair."
Payment terms matter, but liability caps, termination clauses, and IP assignment can cost you far more than the contract price if things go wrong.
Many contracts require 60-90 days written notice to cancel or prevent renewal. Miss it by a single day and you're locked in for another full term.
