The clauses that cost freelancers the most
These are written by client lawyers to protect the client. Clausix reads from your side.
Unlimited liability clauses
One mistake and you could owe more than the entire contract is worth. No freelancer should sign without a liability cap — most clients accept one when asked.
IP grabs and work-for-hire traps
Work-for-hire clauses that assign everything you create — including tools you built before the project — are buried in boilerplate and easy to miss.
Overbroad non-competes
A non-compete that covers 'any similar services in the industry' for 18 months can effectively shut you out of your own market after the project ends.
Payment traps
'Payment upon completion' with no defined timeline, no late-payment penalties, and no dispute process means clients can delay indefinitely with no consequences.
One-sided termination rights
Contracts that let the client terminate for any reason — while requiring 60 days from you — create an unfair power imbalance that will come back to bite you.
No portfolio rights
Without a display license clause, you legally cannot show client work in your portfolio — even after the engagement ends. This directly limits your ability to win new clients.
Your personal contract safety net
Lawyers charge $200–$500/hr to do what Clausix does in 30 seconds. For most freelance agreements, you don't need a lawyer — you need to know what to look for. Clausix tells you exactly that.
