The problem
Most freelance contracts are written to protect the client, not you. Here are the traps hiding in plain sight.
Contracts that claim ownership of everything you create, including work done on your own time. Watch for "work made for hire" buried in fine print.
No cap on revision rounds means unlimited free labor. These clauses let clients demand changes forever without paying more.
Clauses that block you from working with competitors, or anyone in the same industry, for months or years after the project ends.
Net-60, Net-90, or vague "upon completion" language lets clients delay payment indefinitely while you cover the cost.
Indemnification clauses can make you personally responsible for business losses, legal fees, and damages without any cap.
Clauses that let the client end the contract at any time without notice or compensation, leaving you with unpaid work and blocked calendar.
73% of freelance contracts contain at least 1 unfair clause

SafePen caught a total IP grab clause I completely missed. The negotiation script helped me push back professionally and keep my portfolio rights.
