Hi [client],

Excited to work together. A few adjustments to the contract so it works for both of us:

Payment: I work on net 14 with a [percent] deposit to start.

Intellectual property: I assign the final deliverables on full payment and keep my pre existing tools.

Liability: I cap my liability at the project fee.

Kill fee: if the project is cancelled, I bill for work completed.

Let me know if these work and I will send an updated version.

Thanks, [Your name]
