7. Terms, Conditions and Payment
The last section we will talk about here is the terms, conditions and payments section.

In this section, you clearly establish a schedule for how your client will pay for your work. Most people organize their fee schedule in one of the following ways:

For deliverable: the client pays you upon receipt of the deliverables specified during the project
On schedule : The client pays you on fixed dates during the project, regardless of delivery delays
If you have the option, it is usually best for you to arrange your pricing plan on a schedule ( as a service provider) because you will receive your payments on a regular basis regardless of delays beyond your control.


Now that you know these great ideas for writing your statement of work, it’s time to format your document effectively. Follow our tips below to ensure your document achieves its goals and looks professional to your clients.

Separate your statement of work into clear sections
While there is no official format for a statement of work, we recommend that you separate the individual sections of the document.

Separating sections will help you stay organized as you write and ensure you don’t accidentally leave out any information.

It will also help all parties involved quickly find the information they are looking for in the document.
