I'm starting a small digital marketing agency and I'm drafting my first client service agreements. I know I need to cover basics like scope of work, payment terms, and intellectual property, but I'm worried about missing critical clauses that could protect me from scope creep or non-payment. What are the absolute contract law essentials I should include for a service-based business? Specifically, how do I properly draft a limitation of liability clause and termination terms that are enforceable? I'd prefer to use a template I can customize rather than hiring a lawyer for every single contract at this early stage.
