Ookulli OÜ — Landing Page Design Contract
You (Mike Dolores, London) are designing landing page visuals for Ookulli OÜ, an Estonian company, for a £1,000 fixed fee starting 25 January 2026. Payment is due 14 days after they formally accept the completed work. All IP transfers to them immediately on creation.
Overall: This is heavily one-sided — the points below are worth pushing back on.
Things that could actually hurt you
🚩 You only get paid when they decide to accept. The Company decides whether work meets "adequate quality standards" and can request unlimited revisions before accepting — no deadline, no cap, entirely their call. If they never accept, you get nothing. (See #4, See #6)
🚩 Your financial risk is unlimited. Theirs is capped at £1,000. You indemnify (cover their losses for) IP claims, tax disputes, and employment-status claims with no cap. The Company's maximum liability to you is capped at fees actually paid. (See #24, See #25)
🚩 They can terminate anytime; you lose work in progress. The Company can terminate immediately for "loss of confidence." You have no termination right. You're only paid for work already accepted — anything in progress is lost, with no kill fee. (See #11, See #12)
A few points worth raising before you sign
These are reasonable to bring up — most clients expect them and won't push back:
- 5-day acceptance deadline — work deemed accepted if no response within 5 working days; cap revisions at 2 rounds.
- Cap your liability at £1,000 — standard practice, limits your exposure to match their cap.
- Add a kill fee — 50% of the contract value if they terminate without cause.
"Just a couple of things I'd usually clarify before starting — happy to discuss."
Also worth knowing (not deal-breakers)
Your designs transfer to them the moment you create them, even before payment, and you waive the right to be credited as creator. You need their written permission to show the work in your portfolio. You must maintain professional indemnity and public liability insurance before starting.
