A statement-of-work workspace for design services engagements (brand, product, interior, industrial) covering deliverable inventory, revision rounds, IP and usage rights, kill fee, and creative-rights language drafted by the AI Contract Agent in Taskade.
What's Included
- Deliverable Inventory: Each deliverable with format, file types, and acceptance criteria.
- Revision Rounds: Defined rounds per deliverable with overage rates.
- AI Contract Agent: Drafts IP, usage-rights, and kill-fee language from your engagement profile.
- Usage Rights: Channels, term, geography, and exclusivity per deliverable.
- Kill Fee: Termination trigger, payment cap, and rights handling on early termination.
Why This Template Wins
- Usage rights granular: Channels, term, and geography documented so post-engagement disputes about brand-asset use are defensible.
- Kill fee documented: Early-termination handling locked at SoW so cancellation doesn't surprise either side.
- Revision rounds locked: Overage rates trigger automatically so the designer isn't absorbing scope expansion.

- Customize deliverables, usage rights, and revision rounds.
- Connect your DAM, DocuSign, Slack.
- Train the AI Contract Agent on your design standards.
- Set up automation triggers for signature tracking and renewal reminders.
FAQ
Does this work for project-based vs retainer design SoWs?
Yes. Project-based emphasizes deliverable lock and kill fee; retainer emphasizes monthly scope and overage triggers. Switch the engagement mode in workspace settings.
Can the agent draft usage-rights language?
Yes. Train the agent on your usage-rights standards. It drafts channel, term, and geography rights precisely.
What plan supports a design-firm contract pipeline?
Pro ($16/mo annual) handles the engagement. Business ($40/mo) adds advanced audit logs and approval workflows for client transparency.
