The Client wishes to engage the Provider for a straightforward, one-off engagement. Both parties want a clear contract that captures scope, fees, and terms without overloading a small project with unnecessary boilerplate. This contract does exactly that.

SIMPLE CONTRACT
The engagement runs across three light phases. Each closes with a written checkpoint so both parties can confirm direction before continuing.
PHASE 1 · KICKOFF
A single 60-minute kickoff call to confirm goals, deliverable, timeline, and points of contact. A short written summary is shared afterward.
PHASE 2 · DELIVERY
The Provider produces the agreed deliverable and shares a first draft for review. One round of revisions is included; feedback is consolidated by the Client and returned in one message.
PHASE 3 · HANDOFF
Final deliverable is delivered in the agreed format, with a short 30-minute call if needed to walk through the outcome and answer questions.
Not included:ongoing support, additional revisions, and any work beyond the agreed deliverable. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Simple Contract Template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries a cover, an overview with stat cards, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects the acceptance inputs and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
