Signatures & notes

A contract for graphic designers

Design work lives or dies on clarity around rights and revisions. This agreement sets out the deliverables, the fee, how many revision rounds are included, and exactly when ownership and usage rights transfer to the client. Add an NDA or non-solicitation clause if the project calls for it, then export a professional PDF.

What it covers

Frequently asked questions

When does the client get usage rights to my designs?

This template transfers ownership and usage rights to the client only once they have paid in full. Before final payment, the work remains yours. You can also limit the grant to specific uses, so wider commercial or resale rights are licensed separately if needed.

Can I show the work in my portfolio?

Yes, the template includes a portfolio-rights clause letting you display the finished designs in your portfolio and request a credit. If a client needs the work kept private, add the NDA or confidentiality option so both sides agree on what can be shown publicly.

How many revisions are included in the design fee?

You set the number of revision rounds covered by the quoted fee, and additional rounds are billed separately. The contract also lists the deliverable file formats, so there is no dispute later about whether source files or only final exports are part of the handover.
