AI/ML Freelance Service Agreement
This Agreement (Agreement No. AIML-2026-001) is entered into as of August 15, 2026 (the “Effective Date”) between Alex Chen (“Service Provider”) and Sarah Walker, on behalf of NeuroSync AI (“Client”), who agree to the following terms.
“Deliverables” means the models, code, documentation, and other work product listed in Clause 3.
“Client Data” means any dataset, document, or information the Client provides or grants access to for use in the Services.
“AI Tools” means any third-party or foundation model, pretrained checkpoint, model API, or AI-assisted development tool used by the Service Provider in performing the Services, as disclosed in Clause 6.
“Model” means the trained machine learning artifact(s) delivered under this Agreement, including weights, parameters, and configuration.
“Acceptance Criteria” means the measurable conditions defined in Clause 3 that a Deliverable must meet for the Client to accept it.
Service Provider agrees to perform the machine learning development services described in this Clause 2 (the “Services”).
- Project: Recommendation Engine v2
- Model type: Transformer-based recommendation model
- Frameworks & platforms: PyTorch, HuggingFace, AWS SageMaker
Client will provide reasonable access to necessary datasets, credentials, and subject-matter expertise within 5 business days of a written request.
Any work outside this Clause 2 — including retraining on new data, productionizing, ongoing monitoring, or building supporting infrastructure not listed in Clause 3 — is out of scope and requires a written change order signed by both Parties before work begins, including any adjustment to fees under Clause 4.
Service Provider will deliver the following by the final milestone date, each subject to the Acceptance Criteria stated:
- Trained model: Achieves ≥92% top-1 accuracy, measured on the held-out test set
- Source code & pipeline: Documented training and inference pipeline, runs from a clean environment
- Model card: Documents performance by segment, known limitations, and bias/fairness evaluation
Client has 10 business days from delivery to test each Deliverable against its Acceptance Criteria and either accept it in writing or reject it with a specific, written description of which criterion was not met. A Deliverable is deemed accepted if Client does not respond within this period. Statements about performance anywhere else in this Agreement are estimates, not independent guarantees — the Acceptance Criteria in this Clause 3 are the sole measure of whether a Deliverable is complete.
Total fee: USD 48,000 (Fixed-Price Project), payable as follows:

Invoices are due within 15 days of receipt. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month. Service Provider may pause work, without breaching this Agreement, if payment is more than 10 days overdue, upon written notice to Client.
Client grants Service Provider a limited license to access, process, and use Client Data solely to perform the Services. Service Provider will not use Client Data to train models for any other client, or retain copies after the warranty period in Clause 12 ends, except as needed for legally required record-keeping.
Where Client Data includes personal data, Service Provider will handle it in accordance with applicable data protection law (including, where relevant, GDPR or CCPA), use reasonable technical safeguards, and notify Client without undue delay of any confirmed unauthorized access to Client Data.
Service Provider will not transmit Client Data to any third-party AI Tool, API, or platform not disclosed in Clause 6 without Client’s prior written consent.
Service Provider will disclose, on request, which AI Tools (pretrained models, model APIs, or AI-assisted coding tools) are used in performing the Services, and their license terms where those terms restrict Client’s use of the resulting Deliverables.
Known third-party components for this engagement: HuggingFace base checkpoint (Apache 2.0). Service Provider will notify Client in writing before introducing any additional third-party model or dataset with usage restrictions.
Client is responsible for its own compliance obligations arising from its use of the Deliverables, including any applicable AI-specific regulation in Client’s jurisdiction.
Compute and infrastructure costs for this engagement (cloud GPU time, storage, API usage, and similar) will be borne by: Client, via a shared AWS account provided at kickoff.
Where Service Provider incurs compute costs directly, Client will reimburse documented costs within 15 days of invoice, up to a pre-approved monthly cap of 500 USD absent prior written approval for a higher amount.
Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, Service Provider will perform the Services in a commercially reasonable, workmanlike manner, and stands behind the Acceptance Criteria defined in Clause 3. Outside of those specific, agreed criteria, Service Provider does not guarantee particular business outcomes or fitness for uses not described in Clause 2.
Client is responsible for evaluating the Deliverables’ suitability for its own use case, including any regulatory, safety, or fairness requirements specific to Client’s industry, before deploying the Model in production.
Upon full and final payment of all fees due under Clause 4, all Deliverables — including trained Model weights, source code, and documentation created specifically for this engagement — become Client’s property. Before full payment, Service Provider retains ownership and grants Client a limited license to internally test (but not deploy to production or distribute) the Deliverables.
Service Provider retains the right to reuse general skills, methodologies, and non-project-specific code (utility libraries, data-loading patterns, and similar) in future work. Client Data itself remains Client’s property at all times.
Deliverables may incorporate third-party or open-source components disclosed under Clause 6; those components remain subject to their own license terms and are not transferred by this Clause.
Each Party will keep the other’s confidential information — including Client’s proprietary data and business processes, and Service Provider’s fees, methods, and proprietary tooling — confidential, and will not disclose it to third parties, for 2 years after the last payment under this Agreement.
This Clause does not apply to information that is public through no fault of the receiving Party, was already known to the receiving Party, or must be disclosed by law. Either Party may seek injunctive relief for a breach of this Clause, in addition to other remedies available.
Service Provider is an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or agent of Client. Service Provider is responsible for its own taxes, benefits, insurance, and work methods, and this Agreement does not create any exclusivity, partnership, or joint venture between the Parties.
For 30 days after Client accepts the final Deliverable, Service Provider will fix, at no additional charge, any failure of a Deliverable to meet its Acceptance Criteria as originally defined. This warranty does not cover performance changes caused by data drift, changes to Client’s data or systems, or use outside the scope described in Clause 2. Support beyond this period, including monitoring for model drift, requires a separate written agreement.
Each Party’s total liability under this Agreement is capped at the total fees paid under Clause 4. Neither Party is liable for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages — including lost profits, data loss, or business interruption — even if advised of the possibility, except in cases of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a breach of Clause 10.
This Clause survives termination of this Agreement.
This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues until the Services are completed and accepted, unless ended earlier under this Clause.
Either Party may terminate for convenience with 14 days’ written notice. Either Party may terminate immediately for the other’s uncured material breach, if the breach is not fixed within 10 days of written notice describing it.
On termination, Client will pay for Services performed and accepted-in-progress up to the termination date, and Service Provider will deliver work product completed to that point in its current state.
Neither Party is liable for a delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disaster, war, internet or cloud-provider outage, or government action, provided the affected Party gives prompt notice and resumes performance as soon as reasonably possible.
The Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising from this Agreement through direct negotiation for 15 days before pursuing other remedies. If unresolved, either Party may bring the dispute in the courts of the jurisdiction named in Clause 17, or via mediation if both Parties agree in writing.
17.1 Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
17.2 Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement without the other’s written consent, except to a successor in a merger or acquisition.
17.3 Notices. Legal notices under this Agreement must be sent in writing to the addresses or emails on file, and are effective on confirmed receipt.
17.4 Entire agreement. This Agreement, including any signed change orders under Clause 2, is the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes any prior discussions or proposals. Amendments must be in writing and signed by both Parties.
17.5 Counterparts & e-signature. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, including electronically, each of which is an original.

Cybersecurity Consulting Proposal
Northbridge Security proposes a Penetration Test for Meridian Logistics Group, focused on External penetration testing and cloud infrastructure review. The goal is straightforward: identify the weaknesses that matter before someone else does — then hand your team a clear, prioritized path to fix them.
Source: Verizon 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report
We combine automated scanning with manual, expert-led testing — the same approach we use on our own infrastructure. The result is not a generic findings list, but a business-readable roadmap your team can act on the week it is delivered.
This engagement will be led by the following certified practitioners:
Every assessment is led end-to-end by a named senior consultant who stays with the engagement from kickoff to delivery.
Before any testing begins, scope is confirmed in writing with Dana Whitfield. A standard Penetration Test covers:
Explicitly out of scope unless added by written change order: production payment systems, third-party vendor infrastructure, physical premises.
Authorized testing hours, out-of-scope systems, and full rules of engagement are documented and agreed in writing before testing starts. Nothing outside the agreed scope is ever touched.
Every engagement follows a structured, repeatable methodology aligned to the OWASP Testing Guide, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115, run in four phases:
You receive regular progress updates throughout testing, and no potentially disruptive test is run without your written approval.
Formal Rules of Engagement (ROE) are executed before testing begins and fix the following at minimum. This is a summary; the signed ROE document governs.
This proposal authorizes Northbridge Security to prepare the ROE and Statement of Work for signature. No testing activity begins until the ROE is signed by an authorized representative of both parties.
Every deliverable is reviewed by a senior consultant before it is released:
All findings are manually verified before reporting — we do not report anything we have not personally reproduced.
Total investment for this engagement: USD 14,500, split into two payments:
Investment covers all testing time, the full report, and a remediation guidance session after delivery — with no additional fees for follow-up questions within 3–4 weeks of the report.
Once approved, the engagement typically runs 3–4 weeks from kickoff to final report:
Kickoff week. ROE signature, rules of engagement, and testing schedule confirmed.
Testing window. Active assessment of the agreed scope, with weekly status updates.
Delivery week. Final report, executive brief, and a remediation walkthrough call.
To begin: approve below, and we will schedule your kickoff call within 3 business days of receiving this proposal.
This proposal is valid until the date stated at the top of this document. Approving below authorizes Northbridge Security to prepare the formal Rules of Engagement and Statement of Work for signature — it does not itself authorize testing to begin. Testing starts only once the ROE is signed by an authorized representative of both parties.

This proposal is a commercial offer, not a legal contract. A separate Rules of Engagement, Statement of Work, and Master Services Agreement will be issued and signed before any testing activity begins.

Video Editor / Content Creator Proposal & Invoice
Maya Torres proposes to produce Social Cutdown Package for Northstar Fitness — Summer Launch Campaign. A “video” today is rarely one file, so this project ships as the deliverables below, each in the format its platform is optimized for.
Any work outside this scope — additional cuts, extra formats, color passes, or motion graphics — is quoted separately and approved in writing before it begins.
A “revision round” means one full pass of feedback on the current draft, consolidated into a single message. Scope changes that alter the original brief — new footage, new sections, changed messaging — are treated as new scope, not revisions.
Each revision round is completed within 3 business days per round of receiving consolidated feedback.
Client usage. Client receives the right to use the final deliverables for Promotional use + organic social, for 12 months from final approval. Paid advertising placements carry a separate licensing rate and are not included unless selected below.
Paid media add-on: +$400 for 12 months of paid ad usage — not included in the base fee.
Music & third-party assets. Unless supplied by Client with confirmation of license, all music, stock footage, and fonts used will be properly licensed by Maya Torres for the usage in Section 03. Client is responsible for the license status of any footage, audio, or brand assets it supplies.
Platform claims. If a copyright claim or strike arises from properly-licensed assets used as agreed, both parties will cooperate in good faith to resolve it (e.g. filing a dispute with documentation). Neither party indemnifies the other for claims arising from assets the other party supplied without a valid license.
Credit. Client will credit the editor as Edited by Maya Torres in the video description on public uploads, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Editor portfolio. Unless Client opts out below, the finished work may be shown in the editor’s portfolio and reel. Portfolio use: Yes — portfolio & reel rights.
Final deliverables. On full payment, ownership of the finished videos listed in Section 01 transfers to Client for the usage granted in Section 03.
Raw footage & project files. Unless separately agreed in writing, the underlying working files stay with the editor: Raw footage & project files do NOT transfer. Source files, if purchased separately: $250.
Client’s own source footage remains Client’s property throughout the project. The editor keeps a working copy only until delivery and final payment clear, then deletes project working copies within 30 days.
Unreleased campaign materials, brand strategy, and any footage or messaging shared before public launch are confidential. The editor will not publish, preview, or discuss this content publicly — including in a portfolio — until the campaign’s public launch date, or 60 days after delivery, whichever is sooner.
This embargo does not restrict the portfolio and credit rights granted in Section 03 once the work is public.
Total fee: USD 6,500. Payment follows the edit — each milestone is tied to a concrete deliverable, so money never outruns work.
Invoices are due within Net 15. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month. Work may be paused if a milestone payment is more than 10 days overdue, and deliverables are withheld until the balance is paid in full.
This invoice covers the milestone marked above. Remaining milestones from Section 06 will be invoiced separately as each is reached.
Creative projects sometimes get complicated — that’s normal. Either party may end this engagement at any time with 7 days written notice.
On termination, Client pays only for work completed and delivered up to that point, at the milestone rates in Section 06. Any footage already edited but not yet delivered is handed over once that payment clears. Neither party is penalized for calling it early.
Timeline. The first draft is delivered within 7–10 business days from kickoff of receiving all source footage and the approved brief. Subsequent milestones follow the schedule in Section 06, with revision rounds on the cadence in Section 02.
Independent contractor. The editor is an independent contractor, not an employee or agent of Client, responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and benefits. No employer-employee relationship, partnership, or joint venture is created by this proposal.
Assumptions. Delivery timelines assume Client provides feedback and source assets without delay. Days where Client is unresponsive count against no one — the schedule simply moves.
Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, USA.
Disputes. Both parties will attempt good-faith direct negotiation for 10 days before pursuing other remedies.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control (illness, natural disaster, platform or tool outages), provided the affected party gives prompt notice.
Entire agreement. This document, once signed, is the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes prior discussions. Changes must be in writing and agreed by both parties. It may be signed electronically, including in counterparts.
Approving this proposal authorizes the editor to begin work on the terms above. This proposal is valid until the date stated at the top of this document.
This proposal, once signed, functions as the working agreement for this engagement. For larger or ongoing engagements, a fuller service agreement is recommended.

This Agreement (Agreement No. VA-2026-009) is entered into as of 04 Aug 2026 (the “Effective Date”) between Renee Alvarez, Virtual Assistant, Admin & Ops Support (“Contractor”), and Harbor & Co. Consulting (“Client”). This is an Monthly Retainer engagement for the virtual assistant services described below.
Included in this retainer
Not included (quoted separately or added by written change order)
Tools, volume & quality standards
Scope may be modified only by mutual written consent. Any change affecting hours or compensation must be documented and agreed by both parties before it takes effect.
This engagement begins 04 Aug 2026 and continues monthly until ended under Section 11. Either party may request a change in monthly hours with 14 days’ written notice.
Rush requests. Work requested with less than 24 hours’ turnaround may be billed at 1.5x the standard rate, agreed before the work begins.
Contractor may pause work if payment is more than 7 days overdue, upon written notice, without breaching this Agreement.
Hours are logged using Toggl and shared with Client weekly, itemized by task. Client may request a time log at any point during the billing period.
Day-to-day communication happens over the channels below. Formal requests and documentation are always confirmed by email.
Working hours: Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm EST. Requests outside this window are addressed the next business day unless flagged as a rush request under Section 02.
Confidential information includes Client’s client lists, login credentials, financial data, internal communications, and business strategy — anything not publicly available that Contractor accesses in the course of this engagement.
Security requirements
On termination, Contractor will delete all Confidential Information and Client credentials from personal devices, cloud storage, and physical copies within 5 business days, and confirm this in writing on request.
This clause does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of Contractor, was already known to Contractor, or must be disclosed by law.
All access is revoked and shared credentials rotated by Client within 2 business days of termination.
All content, documents, and materials Contractor produces specifically for Client under this Agreement are Client’s property upon payment. Contractor retains rights to its own pre-existing templates, checklists, and internal tools used to deliver the work, and may reuse them for other clients.
Contractor is an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or agent of Client. Contractor manages their own taxes, equipment, schedule, and insurance, and is free to provide services to other clients. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment relationship, partnership, or joint venture.
During this engagement and for 6 months after, neither party will solicit the other’s clients or contractors introduced through this engagement for a directly competing purpose. This clause does not restrict Contractor from working with other clients in the same or different industries.
Either party may terminate this Agreement with 14 days’ written notice, or immediately for uncured material breach not fixed within 7 days of written notice describing it.
On termination: Client pays for all hours worked through the termination date; Contractor submits a final invoice within 7 days, payable per Section 03; access and credentials are handled per Section 07; and data is deleted per Section 06.
Confidentiality, data deletion, intellectual property, non-solicitation, and governing law survive termination of this Agreement.
Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Disputes. The parties will attempt good-faith negotiation for 10 days; unresolved disputes may proceed to mediation and, if still unresolved, binding arbitration in the jurisdiction above.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, provided prompt notice is given.
Entire agreement. This document is the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes prior discussions. Amendments must be in writing and signed by both parties. May be signed electronically, including in counterparts.
By signing below, both parties agree to the terms of this Agreement.

Presentation / Pitch Deck Design Proposal
Elena Voss, Presentation & Pitch Deck Designer, proposes to design an investor pitch deck for Orbital Robotics. The creative goal: turn your story and numbers into a deck that reads clearly in ten seconds and holds up under an investor's second look.
The approach combines narrative structure with clean data visualization — every slide earns its place, and the deck is built to survive being forwarded without you in the room.
Before the first slide is designed, we lock the creative direction with you so every hour is spent on the deck you actually need.
Included in this scope
Scope may be modified only by mutual written agreement, confirmed by change order.
Not included unless added by written change order: copywriting, translation, video/motion elements, or print production. Additional slides beyond the count above are quoted at $85/slide.
Before the full deck is built, Client reviews and approves one style direction from 2 concept options, applied to a single sample slide. This locks the visual system before the remaining slides are built, so effort isn’t spent in the wrong direction.
Client selects one direction in writing before work continues to the full deck.
Switching directions after approval is treated as new scope and quoted separately.
Every deliverable is designed, internally reviewed, and handed over in the formats below:
All files are delivered with a short handoff note explaining the structure, so your team can edit the deck confidently without the designer in the room.
A revision round is one consolidated pass of feedback across the whole deck. New content, restructured narrative, or additional slides are treated as new scope, quoted separately.
Each round is turned around within 3 business days of receiving consolidated feedback.
Stock photography, icon packs, and fonts used in the deck are licensed by Elena Voss for the usage described in Section 07, with proof of license retained and available on request. Any brand assets (logo, product photography) supplied by Client are warranted by Client to be lawfully theirs to use.
Custom fonts requiring a separate commercial license: quoted separately if selected.
Client usage. On full payment, ownership of the final deck transfers to Client for unrestricted business use.
Designer’s system. The designer retains rights to the underlying slide-master structure, layout system, and design methodology, and may reuse them — with client-specific content, logos, and data removed — for future projects.
Portfolio. Unless Client opts out in writing, the designer may feature non-confidential slides (with financial specifics redacted) in their portfolio: Yes — redacted portfolio use permitted.
Financial figures, fundraising strategy, product roadmap, and any other non-public material shared for this deck are confidential. The designer will not disclose, publish, or discuss this content outside of producing the deliverable, and any portfolio use under Section 07 will redact financial specifics and confidential data.
This clause survives completion of the project for 2 years.
Total fee: USD 3,600, tied to each stage of the design process:
Invoices are due within Net 7. Final files are released once the balance is paid in full.
Style direction. 2–3 business days from kickoff and content handoff.
Full first draft. 5–7 business days after style direction is approved.
Final delivery. 3 business days after the last revision round.
Total turnaround, kickoff to final files: 2–3 weeks, assuming timely content and feedback from Client.
Independent contractor. The designer is an independent contractor, not an employee or agent of Client, responsible for their own taxes, equipment, and schedule.
Warranties. The designer warrants the design work is original to their knowledge. Client warrants that any content, images, logos, or data it supplies are lawfully theirs to use.
Assumptions. Timelines assume Client supplies copy, data, and brand assets without delay. Days waiting on Client input move the schedule, not the total working time.
Either party may end this engagement at any time with 7 days written notice. On termination, Client pays only for milestones completed under Section 09; work in progress is delivered in its current state once that payment clears.
Governing law. This proposal is governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA.
Disputes. Both parties will attempt good-faith negotiation for 10 days before pursuing other remedies.
Entire agreement. This document, once signed, is the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes prior discussions. Changes must be in writing and agreed by both parties. May be signed electronically, including in counterparts.
Approving this proposal authorizes the designer to begin work on the terms above. This proposal is valid until the date stated at the top of this document.
