Frequently asked questions

Is a photography proposal RFP legally binding?

A proposal is a pre-sale document, not a signed contract. It becomes binding once both parties agree on terms and sign a separate service agreement, or the proposal itself is countersigned. ContractMaker is a document tool, not legal advice. Have a lawyer review any high-value engagement.

Should I include pricing tiers or a single flat rate?

Offering two or three packages gives the client a choice and anchors them toward your mid-range option. The generator supports multiple pricing options so you can present a base, standard, and premium package in one clean document.

Is the document ready to send?

Yes. You get a clean, formatted document you can download, print, and send right away. No watermark, no signup.

Do I need a lawyer?

ContractMaker is a document tool, not legal advice. The base templates are vetted and openly licensed, but for high-stakes or unusual situations you should have a lawyer review your final document.

Is it really free?

Yes. Every document is free to generate and download, with no watermark and no signup. Fill the fields, download the file, and send it.

Can I edit the wording?

You control every field, so the scope, payment terms, and clauses always match how you work.
