Handshake deals may feel friendly, but they leave Santa Clarita Valley entrepreneurs exposed to late payments, scope creep, and costly disputes. Conversely, a customized Terms & Conditions (T&C) sheet turns informal promises into enforceable commitments—protecting revenue and elevating your professional reputation.
Key takeaways:
-
Set crystal-clear expectations on deliverables, timelines, and revision limits.
-
Lock in payment terms so you get paid in full and on time.
-
Define project boundaries to prevent scope creep and protect margins.
-
Create legal leverage with dispute-resolution and termination clauses that favor your business.
Using a T&C sheet isn’t just about legal protection—it’s about building trust and professionalism. When your clients see that you have structured policies in place, they know they’re working with a business that takes its work seriously.
