Freelancers cannot create enforceable payment term agreements

Freelancers and independent contractors struggle to draft simple contracts that enforce late payment or define scope clearly, so they resort to email chains or verbal agreements that courts often reject. They need a tool that generates payment-focused, jurisdiction-aware contracts with clear remedies for non-payment that are enforceable without needing to hire a lawyer.
