This creates a structural power imbalance: the contract protects the client's interests by default, and freelancers — who typically cannot afford legal counsel for every engagement — sign terms they do not fully understand.

Prerequisites A contract or engagement agreement must be provided as a file path or pasted text. The user is assumed to be the freelancer/contractor unless stated otherwise. Helpful context (if available): the freelancer's industry, typical rate, and whether they have other active clients. Instructions 1. Read the full contract.
