Contracts determine how we work, yet we don't all know much about them. Do you know if you're allowed to terminate your contract early? Is your project well-defined? Do clients get you to do a lot of stuff that 's not in there?
Your contract should state very specifically what you are to do. It should be clear that you decide how and where to do it. Look to our dedicated legal section for lots of specific contract advice.
But there are often problems with contracts. Clients demand more than what they describe, asking you to do two jobs for the price of one. Sometimes agents try and get you to change terms right in the middle of the job.
