First: scope of work
What exactly is required, and what is outside the service? Review the specifications and each party's limits of responsibility, so that open expectations do not become an unclear obligation.
Second: consideration and payment
What does each payment correspond to, and how are claims or extra expenses documented? Make sure the text and the annexes do not give two different definitions of an amount or of the condition for it falling due.
Third: delivery and acceptance
How is delivery shown, who reviews it, and what is the procedure when there are comments? Clarity on these points helps both parties know what must be completed and documented.
Fourth: changes and responsibilities
Who has the power to approve an amendment, and how is its effect on time and cost documented? Read the provisions on liability, confidentiality and intellectual property in light of the nature of the dealing, and do not use a ready-made clause without understanding its effect.
Fifth: termination and disagreement
When does the relationship end, and which obligations continue after it? Review how a disagreement is settled and any agreement connected with it within the contract as a whole. If clauses appear to conflict or to be unsuitable, discuss changing them before signing.
