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).

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.

The main reason why freelancing has flourished to such an extent over the years is the convenience with which the workers can do their jobs. This is down to the fact that all the jobs are computer-related and the research related work can also be done easily with the use of internet. In more recent years, several software and tools have been developed to make lives easier for the freelancers, which have had a great impact.

There is one section of freelancing though which concerns the workers more than anything else- the payment. Freelancers are often made to wait for their payments by the clients for long periods of time, something which hampers their financial stability and lowers their commitment level. This problem arises mainly due to the fact that the workers mostly don't lay their demands to their clients in a proper manner. The payment is often, rather hastily, agreed verbally, in order to save time which would otherwise be wasted on discussing the details of the billing. We at Bonsai are determined to make financial agreements of freelancers and clients more convenient through our Freelance Invoice Software.

Sending an Invoice is a widely adopted method by the freelancers to let their clients know about their payment demands in an organized and a convincing way. An invoice basically has all the major and minor billing details of the worker like the hourly charges, the overtime charges, the late charges, and the total charges of the work carried out. It also has a unique Invoice number, personal details of the worker as well as the client and a payment schedule.

Bonsai's Freelance Invoice Software is bound to make your life easier in a lot of ways. It will not only solve the payment delay problem by providing suitable template for your invoice, but it will also be time-saving as it will automatically send the invoices prepared to their respective clients. This software can also be used to receive payment from the clients later on.

It is also useful for tracking down the invoices in case you have multiple clients. Another benefit of this software is that is compatible with every device, whether it's your computer or your smartphone. So wherever you might be, you can easily deal with your clients with the help of this software.

Entrepreneurs don't want to continue feeling trapped in their 9-5pm jobs; hence, the decision to start their own businesses. Tools such as invoice design software free help to enhance the freedom such individuals enjoy.

An entrepreneur makes decision as a boss rather than an employee. He is in charge of the decision-making process. He has the final say on all issues pertaining to his business. The invoice design software free is a tool that enhances his freedom. It gives him complete control over everything that has to do with the invoice. Consequently, he wields the power to insist on discount where he feels the customer deserves it.

As an entrepreneur, you have the right to set new prices for all services rendered to customers. You can no longer rely on rates you used to charge when working as an employee. This is because you have more responsibilities and overheads. Your business needs to make profits. It needs to grow. Use your former employer's weaknesses to determine new rates, and include these on the invoice before sending it out to your customers.

Use the invoice as a tool for creating small talk with your customer. Don't let all discussions be business-centered all the time. During the small talk, tell the client about your readiness to give him  full attention. Demonstrate this on the invoice you write. Remember that you now have entrepreneurial freedom. You're the boss; hence, entitled to be as candid with the clients as possible. Your goal while doing this should be to bring in more business.

  1. Increasing trust
  2. Building reputation
  3. Promoting loyalty
  4. Ensuring quick resolution of all external and internal disputes

Honesty should spread in everything that a business does. Honesty should be the hallmark of any business that wishes to continue transacting positively with its customers. Honesty should be evident in all financial dealings, including on documents such as the invoice design software free. The fact that you use software to design your invoices doesn't give you the right to be dishonest with your clients simply because you want to make as much money as possible.
