What is the Freelance Contract Builder?

The Freelance Contract Builder is a free, interactive tool that allows independent contractors to instantly generate professional service agreements and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Instead of paying for expensive legal templates or drafting documents from scratch, freelancers can fill in a few key variables to generate a standard contract ready for signatures.

How to Use the Contract Builder

  1. Select Document Type: Choose between a standard "Service Agreement" or a "Mutual NDA" using the toggle tabs at the top.
  2. Input Details: Fill out the required fields including your name, cell, client info, and effective dates.
  3. Define the Scope: Be specific in the "Services" and "Compensation" fields to avoid future scope creep.
  4. Export and Sign: Use the "Copy Text" button to paste into an email or e-signature software, or click "Print / PDF" to generate a clean document to send as an attachment.

How It Works: The Logic & Math

The tool uses a reactive template engine built with React. When you type your information into the input forms, it instantly maps those variables into the predefined legal text template on the right side of your screen.

Like all utilities in The Simple Toolbox, the Contract Builder is 100% client-side. Sensitive information like your client's company name and compensation details are processed within your local browser memory and are never transmitted to our servers or stored in any external database.

Real-Life Use Cases & Examples

  • Onboarding New Clients: A social media manager generates a standard service agreement outlining their $1,500/month retainer, clearly defining the exact number of posts included to prevent out-of-scope requests.
  • Pitching Enterprise Clients: A UI/UX designer is asked to review a confidential app design for a large corporation. They quickly generate a Mutual NDA to protect both parties' proprietary information before the discovery call.
  • Securing Deposits: A freelance developer uses the contract to clearly state in writing that a 50% non-refundable deposit is required before any code is written, giving them legal backing if a dispute arises.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this contract legally binding?

In most jurisdictions, a contract is legally binding once both parties have agreed to the terms and signed it (either physically or electronically). However, laws vary by state and country. This tool provides a standard foundation, but we always recommend having a local attorney review your primary contract templates.

What is an Independent Contractor Status?

A crucial clause in freelance contracts that explicitly states you are not an employee of the client. This protects the client from unexpected payroll taxes and benefits liabilities, making them more comfortable hiring you.
