For the most part, contracts just aren't fun. They're usually full of legal geek-speak, Latin phrases and sometimes, a few cryptic lines of Yeats. However, it doesn't always have that way to be a legally-binding document.

Thanks to Andy Clarke's 'Contract Killer', we've adapted one of the best design contracts we've seen to make it not only relevant to email newsletter design, but fillable in 30-seconds or less!

This contract is available as a fully-editable Word document and as a madlibs-style web form, so you can edit, save and distribute it on the go. It's also completely white-label, so you can use it on the fly for any email design job.

What does and doesn't this contract include?

This contract includes the following designer-friendly provisions:

  • The expectation that the client will provide all necessary collateral to complete the project
  • Revisions to your design are limited to two rounds
  • No obligation to test your design in old or marginal email clients, unless otherwise specified
  • Protection from legal liability should use of your newsletter or design result in damages
  • The right to display your work in a portfolio, or in websites, magazines and books
  • And much more...

What's NOT included is a payment schedule. This is something you will have to create yourself and provide with the contract. Understandably, we can't tell you how much to charge and when...!

Save time and potentially your hide - view this email newsletter design contract as a Word document or a handy web form.
