About this contract

This agreement is for creators and designers making thumbnail artwork for online videos. A thumbnail commission does not include filming or photographing the source images.

Key points covered in this contract

  • Thumbnail designs: thumbnail quantity, concept variants, image permissions, and layered-file delivery.
  • Fee and schedule: the fee, payment dates, and when the work will be completed.
  • Delivery and extra work: what is handed over, and which changes count as extra work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are source files, and are they included with the finished work?
Source files are the editable files used to create a finished result. They can make later changes easier, but may require particular software or licensed assets. A service fee may cover only the finished output; source-file delivery and permission to reuse its contents are separate questions.
When do revision requests become extra paid work?
A request can become extra work when it adds something beyond the original brief or exceeds the included revision rounds. A new concept, extra recording session, or additional format is different from a small adjustment. Correcting work that did not meet the agreed requirements may be treated separately from paid revisions.
Does a thumbnail fee include alternative versions for testing?
Not necessarily. A different headline, image, or layout can be an additional design rather than a correction. A design agreement should distinguish included revisions from extra test versions. Neither version guarantees a particular number of clicks.
