Detected risks
What risks are detected
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”.
Non-refundable fees
You can lose the entire payment even if the project changes or fails.
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).
