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.

Currently, efficient small business owners use free invoice builders and online invoice generating systems. The value of such systems makes them an affordable and great tool.

An online invoice generating system has many benefits. Unfortunately, many small business owners do not know this or have never heard about the benefits of using the same. The only way you can understand the importance of such a PDF invoice generator is by knowing its benefits to your business.

The following are 15 benefits of online invoice generators that will help you understand why they are important to your business:

1. Benefit from cost reduction using an online invoice generator

In a business, you are likely to look for ways and means to cut costs. For a business to thrive, you will need to ensure all costs are reduced if you are to make a profit. All freelancers need to send a freelance invoice template to their clients at one point or another. Using old fashioned methods such as paper invoices may be costly. Costs associated with postage stamps, envelopes, and invoice sheets can be reduced when you use an online invoice generator. All you need is an internet connection and a computer. With a few clicks, you can generate an invoice and send it to your client.

2. Save time with the online invoice generator

As a freelancer, you know how important it is to save time. If you are handling more than one client, you need to maximize the use of your time. Sometimes you may find yourself needing to spend more than eight hours a day to work on your projects especially if you're in a web design business. With this in mind, creating an invoice that will take some of your time and may affect your turnaround times on projects. Knowing how to make an invoice online using a free invoice builder will ensure you do not lose precious time creating an invoice. A good invoice builder will create your invoice in less than five minutes. All you need to do is fill in the necessary information and let the PDF invoice generator do its work. Traditional methods of creating an invoice will have some time setback.

3. Be organized with the online invoice generator

Having your finances in order is crucial for your freelance business. If you use normal invoicing methods, you may have trouble organizing your invoices. At the same time, you may fail to remember the invoices that have been paid and those that may be outstanding. Lack of organization leads to loss of revenue due to unpaid invoices.

An online invoice generator can help you avoid being disorganized. They have a section where you are able to manage your invoices. For example, if you sent an invoice seven days ago, you can have the PDF invoice generator remind you to contact the client and ask for your payment. This kind of organization saves you money and time. Additionally, you can have an idea of how much money you have been making for a particular period.

4. The online invoice generator enables access from anywhere

Freelancers always use a software on their computer to keep their records. This can be in the form of a spreadsheet or accounting software. The problem with using such a method is you are unable to access the information when you are on the move. For instance, you may get an email from a client who wants to pay you, but they do not have an invoice. Since it may be on your computer, you may not be able to provide this information on an on-demand basis.

With an online generator, you will be able to access your invoices from any location in the world. If a client request for an invoice, all you need to do is access your records using the internet. This means you will avoid unnecessary delays and inconveniences associated with going back to your home or office to access the invoice.

5. The online invoice generator has reminders

Running a freelance business is not easy. When you are starting up, you will have very few clients. This means you can be able to monitor their payments and the invoices you need to send to them. However, if you are good at what you do, your business is likely to expand. More photography clients mean more photography invoice templates to manage, for example.

Working and managing invoices is not an easy task. The more clients you have, the higher the risk of forgetting to send an invoice. The good thing about online freelance invoice generator and a free invoice builder is a reminder. Let’s say you had a client who was to pay you after 14 days. During this period, there is a high probability of you forgetting to ask for payment. Reminders are a feature of most, if not all, online invoice generators. The reminder will ensure you get your payments when they are due.

6. Get read receipts with the online invoice generator

You will come across many types of clients as a freelancer. Some are honest while others will take advantage of your laxity. There is a “read receipt” feature you will come across in the majority of online invoice generators. This feature tells you when the client has received and read the invoice. If a client claims they did not get it, you will have proof to show when they got it and when they read it. In case of disputes that result in litigation, the read receipt feature can be used as evidence in court.

7. Get rid of errors with the online invoice generator

Writing an invoice, especially when you are tired may lead to some errors. You may end up overcharging or undercharging the client. If your freelancing business has grown and you have many clients, you may end up invoicing one client for a project you did for another client. This confusion wastes a lot of time and may portray you as an amateur and won't help you secure a retainer agreement from your clients.

To avoid errors, you will need to use an online freelance invoice generator. It will deal with issues such as invalid numbers or missing information. These generators have an auto-fill feature, which is used to fill in information that you use regularly. When you key in the name of a client, it will auto-fill all the mandatory information. All you need to do is maybe change two or three areas and you are done.

8. Deal with many languages and currencies using the online invoice generator

When your freelancing business grows, you may end up dealing with clients from different countries. These clients may be using a different currency than what you are used to. If this is the case, you may have a hard time converting the rates to suit their currency. Additionally, you may have problems changing the currency name. An online invoice generator accepts all major currencies. This makes your invoicing process simple irrespective of the location of the client.

Language is another issue with creating an invoice. For example, you may be in the United States and are dealing with a client in Germany. Such a client may need you to send them an invoice in their language. If you do not know their language, you will spend a lot of time trying to translate the contents of the invoice to their language. With an online freelance invoice generator, all you need is to fill in the details of the invoice and click on the translate button. The PDF invoice generator will change the language to suit your preferences.

9. Easy customization with the online invoice generator

The good thing about online invoicing generators is the ability to customize your invoice to suit your needs. You can use the templates offered to find one that works well for your freelance business. Alternatively, you may decide to create a unique one using the custom template option. Either way, the invoice creation process will be simple and quick. You will not need to solicit the services of a logo designer or similar freelancers - just use a free invoice builder.

10. Security with the online invoice generator

Security is a major issue when it comes to money related scenarios. You will need to have an invoice system that is secure. Manual invoicing in your office or home may seem secure. However, the risk of loss is higher than you can imagine. With an invoice generator, you are guaranteed of secured SSL communication between you and your clients. Additionally, all the data is stored on secured web servers. This means you can access the data even if you lose your computer or your data is corrupted.

11. Get an overview of your finances with the online invoice generator

Reports of your business are important if you are to know how your business is going. These will also help you know the highs and lows of your business. Such information can allow you to plan accordingly and will ensure you get an invoicing system that will give you an overview of all your invoices since you began using the system. This information can help you know when you can spend, when you need to save, and when you will need to be careful when spending money. The information will also ensure you do not run your business on too much credit. It is one of the main benefits of using an online freelance invoice generator.

12. Environmental responsibility with the online invoice generator

We all know the need to reduce our carbon footprint. Using online resources drastically reduces your carbon footprint. When you use traditional invoice methods, you increase your carbon footprint. This is a result of the use of pens, papers, ink, stamps, and envelopes. The best way to reduce this footprint is by using an online platform.

An online freelance invoice generator will ensure you reduce your carbon footprint. Since the system is on the internet, it will help you reduce the effects use of traditional materials have on the environment. If you are a green person, you will find this to be one of the ways you can help save the environment.

13. Use one central application with the online invoice generator

Management of your client information and billing information needs to be stellar. Most freelancers who have trouble finding their client information experience this because they have multiple applications for storing this kind of information. You may find it hard to track down a particular client. This may mean you will waste a lot of time trying to find the details of a particular client. You can only be comfortable when you use an free invoice builder to keep such information.

Billing information is another problem for freelancers. If you have more than five clients, it will be quite a challenge to keep all their billing information in your head. Using a paper system is risky due to loss of documents and other risks. The best way to keep this information safe is by using a central application to store this data.

14. Feel safe with data backup from the online invoice generator

There is nothing as important as data backup for any business. The same case applies to your invoices. As a freelancer, you will want to avoid the nightmare associated with losing data. Having a platform that can automatically backup your data will be a plus for you. The good thing about any online freelance invoice generator is a backup feature. This feature ensures all your invoicing data is backed up automatically.

Should you experience any power outages, data corruption of any kind, or burglary, you will find your data saved in the cloud. This means you will not need to spend time and other resources looking for your data. This is important as it will ensure you do not lose any of the invoices you had created.

15. Be modern with the online invoice generator

All freelancers want to look professional in every way they can. This means they will need to do everything in their power to ensure they portray this image. By using an online freelance invoice generator, you will show your current and potential clients you are up to date with technology. Freelancers mostly use online tools. An online invoice generator shows you are up to date with modern methods of doing business. As a result, it gives your clients additional confidence in your skills.

How to use the online invoice generator

Presenting your services as a proficient independent contractor is crucial. One excellent opportunity to do this is creating a great impression on your clients through your invoicing. It also allows you to complete your freelance assignment on a high note. Numerous invoice generators exit out there and it may be a challenge to decide which one fits into your operation.
