What should the scope section actually cover?

A clear, specific description of the deliverables and work included — vague scope is one of the most common sources of freelance disputes later.

Does it cover payment terms like milestones or a payment schedule?

Yes, you can define payment structure, whether that's a lump sum, milestone-based, or a recurring schedule.

Is this contract legally binding once both parties sign it?

Generally yes, once properly signed by both parties — for higher-value or higher-risk engagements, having a lawyer review the specific terms first is still worthwhile.

About this tool

Freelance work without a written contract leaves scope, payment terms and what happens if either side wants out entirely undefined, which is exactly where disputes come from later. This tool generates a freelance services contract covering scope, payment and termination terms, giving you a reasonable starting agreement for routine freelance engagements; larger or higher-risk contracts still deserve a lawyer's review.
