Questions

When do I need a statement of work?

Use one for each project when you already have a service agreement with the client, or on its own for a small, well-defined job.

Can I change the wording?

Yes. Open the template in SignKaro, fill in the blanks, and change any line yourself or ask the built-in AI to rewrite a clause. Then send it for signature.

Is this template legal advice?

No. It is a plain-language starting point. Laws differ by country and state, so ask a lawyer to review contracts that carry real risk.

Make it yours.
