Statement of Work
A statement of work that defines one project's objectives, deliverables, milestones, fees and acceptance, under a master agreement or on its own. The client signs first, then the provider.
Written for general use, not for one country.
The PDF is free to download. Centilio Sign is free to start.

Where it fits
For one defined project. Use the service agreement or the consulting agreement for the overall terms of an ongoing relationship, and the web design contract for a website build.
Before you rely on it
Original Centilio wording, not legal advice. Make sure any master agreement named is signed and current, and that the deliverables, exclusions and acceptance period are specific enough to test. If the statement of work stands alone, have counsel check the general terms and the liability limit for your work.
