CORE CONTRACTS
Build Your Service Agreement
A clear agreement that protects you and reassures the customer, so every job starts on the same page.
What it solves
Most job disputes start as scope disputes, where the customer thought something was included and you did not. This guide walks you through a plain-language service agreement that sets parties, scope, price, and working terms before any work begins, so you and your customer start every job on the same page.
What this is worth: Lawyers charge $300 to $2,500 to draft one contract.
What is inside

Questions, answered
Two lists: everything the job includes and everything it explicitly excludes. The guide treats scope as the source of most disputes, so the detail you write here is what heads off the "but I thought" conversation later.
No. Resource Pilot is not a law firm, and the file is general information, not legal or tax advice. It tells you to confirm the finished agreement with a licensed professional and your state's rules before you rely on it.
Step 4 has you explain how changes and add-ons are priced, give a realistic timeline, and state your cancellation and reschedule policy, so shifting plans are covered in writing before they come up.
