3.3 Coach Has Right To Give Client Work Product. The Coach promises that it owns the work product, that the Coach is able to give the work product to the Client, and that no other party will claim that it owns the work product.

6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Client and the Coach must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

6.2 The Client's Confidential Information. While working for the Client, the Coach may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Coach promises to treat this information as if it is the Coach's own confidential information. The Coach may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Coach use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Coach cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Coach written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Coach may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Coach must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Coach promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Coach written permission first. The Coach must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Coach's responsibilities only stop if the Coach can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Coach came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Coach came across it, but not because of anything the Coach did or didn't do; (iii) the Coach already knew the information when the Coach came across it and the Coach didn't have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Coach with the information without requiring that the Coach keep it a secret; or (v) the Coach created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It's possible the Client and the Coach each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Coach each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Coach is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Contract.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Client or the Coach or both. For example, if the Client gets sued for something that the Coach did, then the Coach may promise to come to the Client's defense or to reimburse the Client for any losses.

8.2 Client Indemnity. In this Contract, the Coach agrees to indemnify the Client (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Coach has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Coach of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Coach of the promises it is making in Section 3 (Representations).

8.3 Coach Indemnity. In this Contract, the Client agrees to indemnify the Coach (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Client of its obligations under this Contract.

9. GENERAL.

9.1 Assignment​. This Contract applies only to the Client and the Coach. Neither the Client nor the Coach can assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Contract to a third-party (other than by will or intestate), without first receiving the other's written permission.

9.2 Arbitration. As the exclusive means of initiating adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising under this Contract, a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules.

9.3 Modification; Waiver. To change anything in this Contract, the Client and the Coach must agree to that change in writing and sign a document showing their contract. Neither party can waive its rights under this Contract or release the other party from its obligations under this Contract, unless the waiving party acknowledges it is doing so in writing and signs a document that says so.

9.4. Noticies.

(a) Over the course of this Contract, one party may need to send a notice to the other party. For the notice to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered in one of the following ways: personal delivery, email, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested). The notice must be delivered to the party's address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.

(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.

9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Contract is found to be unenforceable. If that's the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Contract is still enforceable.

9.6 Signatures. The Client and the Coach must sign this document using Bonsai's e-signing system. These electronic signatures count as originals for all purposes.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this document shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.

9.8 Entire Contract. This Contract represents the parties' final and complete understanding of this job and the subject matter discussed in this Contract. This Contract supersedes all other contracts (both written and oral) between the parties.

What is a Data Entry Proposal?


A data entry proposal letter is a letter you send out when applying to data entry jobs and contract gigs. The idea of it is to be concise and really sell yourself as the best candidate for the job by showing your strengths, skills and expertise. 

Note: Sign up for Bonsai free and get started on your data entry cover letter today.

What to Include in the Data Entry Proposal   


When you think of a cover letter example, your mind probably jumps to showcasing your resume and best self to your future employer. You’ll typically want to showcase past positions that prove your interest, skills, and expertise needed for this particular job description are on point. 

A data entry cover letter—or proposal letter—is no different, it’s just more specific. You’ll prove that you have what it takes to excel at this new data entry position, and that you’ve got enough experience under your belt to  make you a data entry expert. 

There are a few things that every proposal letter should include to land your dream gig. Let’s get into them:

Cover Page

Cover page of sample Data Entry Proposal Letter

On your proposal's cover page, you want to have all the contact information for both parties. 

This ensures your client knows how to contact you, and that you've sent your data entry resume to them purposefully. 

Introduction

Your introduction needs to be short and sweet. The idea here is simple, to let the company know who you are and why you’re reaching out to them. Let the hiring manager know this is the cover letter for the data entry job position—and the only one they need to read!

One important thing here is to show your personality. You want to stand out from the other applicants. Your introduction is the perfect way to do that! Show them that you’re more than another data entry operator, show them you’re a skillful team member, with a great attitude, the smarts to match, you get the idea! 

Bonsai top tip: consider a friendly but professional greeting: keep it relevant to their brand. Better yet, find out the hiring manager’s full name, pronouns, and how they would like to be addressed–steer away from the typical: dear hiring manager.

Project Details and Objectives

By explaining the details of the job, its goals, and how you’ll achieve them, you’re already setting yourself up for success. This section lets hiring managers know you’re ready to take on the challenge, and have a good understanding of the role’s objectives, goals, and mission.

Experience

This is an essential chapter of your data entry proposal letter. Here, you need to showcase your previous work, and explain how your experience puts you in the perfect position for the contract at hand. 

There are some necessary skills that most data entry positions look for from a freelancer. The primary skills are:

Hard skills:

  • Typing speed: proficient typing and transcription are paramount for this job—60 words per minute is the industry standard
  • MS Word: and other related programs are always needed for this position
  • Data entry software experience: there’s a high chance you’ll be working with a variety of SaaS tools— especially when handling large amounts of data–proving that you have experience using these tools will put your client at ease 
  • Data analysis: entering data is part of the job, but having data analysis knowledge and experience can be a massive advantage for the role
  • Computer science skills: Not a must, but a nice to have if you do!

Soft skills: 

  • Forward-thinking: being able to problem-solve quickly and come up with new ideas is an important factor for any data entry clerk
  • Organization and time-management: the ability to organize your time, prioritize, and multitask will bring you closer to your dream contract
  • Communication: as with any other job, being able to communicate with your colleagues and supervisors is vital, even more so in a fast-paced environment
  • Attention to detail: handling a lot of data can be daunting, and things can be missed; proving that you have excellent attention to detail is mandatory

What's crucial here is, to be honest about your experience. False claims or exaggerations will soon come to light if you’re successful. There’s a potential for on the job training opportunities, so state your strengths, but should you reach an interview, state your weaknesses too.  

Bonsai top tip: make your skills and software abilities section scannable. Bullet points are much easier for the hiring manager to digest.  

Scannable skill and software abilities section

Testimonials

Testimonials showcase you’ve upheld positive professional relationships with past clients. In the freelancing world, having testimonials is a blessing. They prove your reliability, hireability, and all round value. So, make sure you’re collecting them!

Keep this section simple. A couple of testimonials is enough, focus on quality, not quantity here. Remember, your proposal letter is not a fully-fledged recommendation letter. It’s a client-winning snippet into your capabilities. Keep things simple, your reader engaged, and be mindful of their time. 

Payment Information

As a freelancer, getting paid on time and in full is key to success. The only way to achieve this is by clearly indicating all your payment information and terms. This way, there's a written expectation that will encourage clients to respect your due dates and payment methods–making your life as a freelancer that bit easier! 

Although it can vary, there are some key things to include when providing this information:

  • Payment due dates: before starting a new project, both parties should have a clear idea of when payments are expected
  • Payment methods: give multiple options–like PayPal, bank transfer, debit or credit card, Venmo, Stripe, etc. Let your client see how easy it is to pay you. 
  • Late payment terms: although not ideal, you may receive payments after due dates. To encourage your clients to avoid this, and get paid promptly, add monetary penalties like late fees or interest charges.
  • Discounts: offering discounts is not unheard of–it might even help you grow your business or have a simple answer to those clients asking you for a lower price! Some common ones to offer are:
  • New clients on a one-time basis
  • Large, ongoing contracts
  • Referrals
  • Early and upfront payments
  • Currency: one of the advantages of being a freelancer is that you can work with clients around the world, so letting them know in which currencies you would like to be paid is necessary
  • Deposits: if you are working with a new client, it’s a good idea to set a deposit plan so that both parties feel comfortable making the deal
