FAQ

Is there really no subscription?

Correct. You pay $2.99 per document and can edit and re-download it as much as you like. No monthly fee.

Are these documents state-specific?

Each document includes the common terms most US situations need plus a field for your state and reminders about state-specific rules (deposit caps, notice periods, disclosures). Laws change, so always verify the final document against your state's current rules.

Is this legal advice?

No. SnapLegal provides self-help document templates and is not a law firm. For complex or high-value matters, have a licensed attorney review your document.

Is my information private?

Completely. Everything you enter stays in your browser and the PDF is generated on your device — nothing is uploaded to our servers.

What if I'm not satisfied?

Email us with your order number and a short note and we'll refund you.

How is this different from an independent contractor agreement?

They overlap. This freelance agreement is written for creative/project work (deliverables, revisions, deposits). The independent contractor agreement is a more general services contract. Pick whichever fits your work.

Should I take a deposit?

It's common and recommended — an upfront deposit protects you from non-payment and confirms the client is committed.
