1 / 10A one-time digital download for freelancers and small businesses who agree projects with clients: a pre-signature checklist with 33 points across eight topics (parties, deliverables, timeline, payment terms, revisions, ownership questions to ask, cancellation and communication), a fill-in scope-of-work template with ten blocks (deliverables, out-of-scope list, milestones, revision rounds, acceptance criteria, change-request process and more), the same template filled with a fictional example project, a change-request form with a filled example, and a change log. Everything is in English, Italian, Spanish, French and German, as printable PDF (A4 and US Letter) and as TXT to copy and edit. It is a set of working documents, not a legal contract and not legal advice.
The problem it solves
Projects start on a handshake or a one-line quote, nobody wrote down what is not included, and every extra request becomes an argument about who agreed to what.
Who it is for
Freelancers, consultants, small studios and service businesses who want to agree scope, revisions and changes clearly before work starts.
What you get
- A 33-point checklist across eight topics shows what to settle before you sign, with a question to ask on each topic
- A scope-of-work template with ten blocks: deliverables, out-of-scope list, milestones and payments, revision rounds, acceptance criteria and the change-request process
- The same template filled with a fictional website project, so you can see how each block is written
- A change-request form (blank and filled example) and a change log keep every extra request, its cost and its date on record
- English, Italian, Spanish, French and German in one download, so you can work in your client's language
- PDFs on A4 and US Letter to print, plus a TXT to copy into your own document
How you use it
- Download and unzip your purchase and open your language folder.
- Work through the pre-signature checklist before you agree to anything and write down what is still open.
- Fill in the scope-of-work template for the project (print the PDF, or copy the text from the TXT), using the example as a guide.
- Send the scope to your client and ask for written confirmation, for example a reply to your email.
- When something changes, fill in a change-request form, get a decision before you start and add a line to the change log.
Questions
Is this a contract I can sign?
No. It is a set of working documents: a checklist, a scope-of-work template and a change-request form. It does not create legal effect and is not legal advice. Have any agreement you rely on reviewed by a qualified professional under your local law.
What is the difference between the checklist and the scope-of-work template?
The checklist helps you ask the right questions before you agree to a project. The scope-of-work template is where you write down what you will deliver, what is not included, the milestones, the revision rounds and how you will accept the work.
Can I edit the documents?
The PDFs are for printing. The TXT file contains the same texts, so you can copy them into your own document and edit them.
Which languages and paper sizes are included?
English, Italian, Spanish, French and German, each as PDF on A4 and on US Letter, plus a TXT. Translations are not native-speaker reviewed.
Does it work with a quote or an onboarding kit?
It stands on its own. If you also use a quote builder or a client onboarding kit, copy the quote reference into the scope by hand; there is no integration.

Version 1.0
Good to know
- Not a legal contract, no legal effect is created or promised, and this is not legal advice. Contract, copyright, payment and cancellation rules differ by country and by type of work: have any agreement you rely on reviewed by a qualified professional under the law that applies to you.
- The ownership and rights section lists questions to ask, not answers or clauses.
- The example (Alba Bakery Ltd, Maria Lopez Design, Giulia Rossi) is fictional. Names, dates and amounts are invented and must not be copied.
- The PDFs are for reading and printing, not editable or fillable; use the TXT to edit texts. No Word, Excel or Canva file is included.
- It does not send documents, collect signatures, track deadlines or connect to any other service.
- Translations are not native-speaker reviewed. For your own business use; no resale or redistribution.
This is a downloadable digital product, not online software. It does not need an account and is not part of the MAXORI Software subscriptions.
