44% of freelancers have worked without getting paid. In most cases, the contract allowed it. Check yours before you start working.
These are the clauses that cost freelancers thousands. Every single one is legal.
Sounds reasonable until you're doing the 8th round for free. If the contract doesn't cap revisions, you're working for nothing.
If the client decides when they're 'satisfied', they control when (or if) you get paid. Look for objective acceptance criteria.
No termination payment clause means the client can cancel after you've done 80% of the work and owe you nothing.
Vague deliverables like 'all necessary design work' give the client unlimited scope. You agreed to a project, not a retainer.
