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 Social Media Invoice Template?


A social media invoice template is a document requesting payment specifically made for social media services. Whenever you work with a new client, you should always outline your requirements for payment. Some clients may be flexible, while others may have specific payment terms. 

It’s important to have this discussion up front so there’s no misunderstanding and you have an agreement on when you’ll get paid. Without an invoice, you may not get paid. Plus, for tax reasons—both for yourself and your client— to have a record of your work, keeping bookkeeping easy.

An invoice is important so that you can set a due date and get paid in a timely manner. Whether you’re a freelancer in social media marketing or you run your own social media marketing company, invoices are part and parcel of making money!

Note: Generate your own invoice by downloading Bonsai’s free social media invoice template and sign up for free today.

What to Include in the Social Media Invoice Template


As a social media freelancer, it’s beneficial to organize your accounts when it comes to invoicing. It makes the whole process easier and it provides less room for error when you’re filling in the necessary details on the invoice.

It’s also worthwhile getting yourself some accounting software, if you’ve got multiple client accounts on the go, you’ve got them all in an organized fashion. Simply scribbling them down in a notebook, or trying to keep tab on a DIY excel sheet isn’t going to end well. 

You’re likely to start sending the wrong invoice to the wrong client, and you’re doing your business a disservice.

Here are a few things you’ll need to include on your social invoice template:

Essential information

Make sure that you have all of your basic details on your professional invoice. These include your name/name of your business, address, contact details like your phone number or email.  This would usually sit at the top of the invoice.

essential information of a social media invoice template

A heading: “Invoice”

Include the word invoice - sounds obvious but it’s something that can be missed out and therefore could make it confusing for the client to know what the document is. Remember the invoice could end up going to another department for processing.

Provide a unique invoice number

Give the document a unique invoice number. Make it simple for yourself by making it #01 or #001. This number should keep ascending for every invoice you create, not only those for your client. Include the invoice date somewhere towards the top too.

Description of services

A description of your social media services. This can differ from one marketing business or social media consultant to another, depending on your work. Be clear on what you’re providing rather than being vague. For example, [social media platforms/social media marketing services] - [description of work].

Be sure to mention your rates including any sales tax, hours worked, and the quantity of social media services you’ve delivered on. Detail the dates of the hours worked too and provide more detail, rather than too little.

Total charges and payment details

Include the total being charged as well as adding any value-added tax if it’s required. VAT isn’t always required but if it is, make sure you incorporate this in your total. 

Make sure it’s in local currency, unless you’ve been asked otherwise by the client. Lastly, highlight the due date of the invoice as well as any bank account details or payment requirements.

It’s typical to use terms like ‘pay within 30 days’. However, there might be clients that cannot pay within that time or they may be more flexible. It’s worth assessing this on a client-by-client basis.

It pays to be detailed in your social media marketing invoice, otherwise some clients may end up taking advantage. Professional invoice templates like the ones offered by the team here at Bonsai, also set a good first impression for any clients you’re working with for the first time around.

Lastly, keep a log of all the invoices you’ve sent, when they’re due and whether or not they’ve been paid. This can be done on Google Sheets or Google Docs—but can quickly get messy. Check out Bonsai’s invoicing software to help you stay on top of what’s been paid, and what hasn’t. That way, you can chase owed payment, or even automate these follow ups, and get paid faster than ever before.

payment details should be clear

How to Write a Social Media Invoice Template


If this is your first time creating a social media marketing invoice, or you’re looking for some guidance on how to improve your invoices as a social media marketer, then here are some top tips on how to write one for your next client.

Find out the social media services client wants

Before you start filling in the social template with your marketing package, you’re going to need all of the relevant information from your client regarding the project details. This includes what work might be required from you, the quantity of work, hours required, and the rate of pay. 

Asking questions like ‘how do you make payments?’ is going to allow you to word your invoice correctly and to negotiate any wiggle room on the agreement where it might be necessary. 

Not every client will do this but some avoid paying until 60 days later. As a freelancer offering marketing services, you should be entitled to the same 30-day period as any other supplier, so push for the latter.

Be detailed in everything you include

Attention to detail is key when it comes to creating your social media invoice. The template available from Bonsai should have the structure you require to input all the necessary information.

Refer back to the information that your client gave you at the start of the project, and that you both agreed to. Use the free invoice template and follow the structure of it so that you’re not confusing the client.

Detail all of the work you’ve done, even if it sounds like you’re being overly specific. For example, separate your work into categories. These could be social networking sites you’ve worked on. Then break these down into the various content types you’ve provided.

Double Triple check before submitting

Before you go sending off the billing document to your client, you’ll want to make sure that you’ve included everything that the client needs and that you need to communicate. From your hourly rate to the late fees you’ll charge if payment isn’t made on time, scrutinize the document from top to bottom. 

You don’t want to be missing essential contact information or the wrong payment details. That’s only going to slow down the process of you getting paid!

Typos and grammar are essential to correct because they could invalidate the invoice or you may end up getting paid less or more than you expected. It also looks unprofessional so make use of browser add-ons to correct your grammar.

Check that the sum of money you’re charging is correct too. The wrong decimal point used in your total can cause issues, so make sure you’re triple checking the document.

A freelance career often means that you’re doing everything yourself. Bonsai makes your digital marketing job easier by providing a social media marketing invoice that won’t cause issues in the payment department.
