Frequently Asked Questions

Are these contracts legally binding in the UK?

These templates use professional legal language based on UK contract law and the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 1998. When properly customised and signed by both parties, they form legally binding agreements. We recommend having a solicitor review your specific use case for the highest level of protection.

Can I customise the templates for my industry?

Absolutely. Every template includes clear instructions and placeholder text showing exactly what to customise. They work for designers, developers, copywriters, consultants, photographers, and any other freelance profession. They come in both PDF and editable Markdown formats.

What payment protection clauses are included?

Each template includes: payment schedule and terms, late payment interest (referencing the UK statutory rate of 8% + base rate), kill fee / cancellation clause (typically 25-50% of remaining project value), deposit requirements, milestone payment triggers, and IP retention until final payment.

Do I get updates if the law changes?

Yes. Your purchase includes lifetime updates. If UK contract law, IR35 rules, or statutory interest rates change, we'll update the templates and you'll receive the new versions at no extra cost.

What's the difference between this and the Getting-Paid Toolkit?

The Contract Template Pack includes 5 complete, ready-to-sign contract templates. The Getting-Paid Toolkit (£19) is a broader bundle with 37 email templates, 10 contract clauses (not full contracts), a late payment escalation system, and a client onboarding kit. Want both? The Toolkit is great value.
