3. We will agree with you, the client, in advance the project goals and requirements, the estimated time to complete and the final deadline.

4. We will carry out the services required to the very best of my ability in a timely fashion and to the timescales agreed.

5. You will provide us, the writer, with everything we need to complete the project and answer all queries in a clear and timely fashion.

6. We will treat all information you give us during the period we work together as confidential.

7. We will agree the format for the final deliverable(s) to be in either Microsoft Word document, Google doc, or plain text.

We are absolved of responsibility if, when the work is finally published, errors appear in the published version, regardless of whether they were in the draft I supplied you with.

12. Changes or revisions may be required to the submitted work. Two rounds of revisions or changes are included at no extra charge, unless they are based on a change in the assignment. We strongly recommend that one round of revisions is saved for after the copy had been entered into the design. Any additional re-writes may be made at a fee to be negotiated separately from the initial agreement

13. If we have not received any feedback or comments within two weeks of submitting work to you (the initial draft or subsequent edits), we will assume you are happy the work has been completed and will invoice for the remaining balance.
