Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about consulting agreement calculator
Most consulting agreements allow termination for convenience with 14-30 days notice. You are typically entitled to payment for all work completed through the notice period plus reimbursable expenses, but not for unperformed future work.
Deliverable deadlines should be clearly specified in the statement of work. Typical timelines range from 2 weeks for small deliverables to 3-6 months for major projects. Late delivery may reduce payment or allow client termination for cause.
IP assignment typically occurs immediately upon creation (work-for-hire) or within 30 days of deliverable acceptance. Some agreements include assignment of pre-existing IP, while others only cover work created during the engagement.
You must typically deliver all work-in-progress upon termination. Payment for incomplete deliverables is often prorated based on percentage completion. IP rights for partial work may be shared or revert to you, depending on contract terms.
