Revision clause generator

"Unlimited revisions" is how a two-week project turns into two months. Set how many rounds you include, what counts as a round and what extra rounds cost, then copy a plain-English clause for your contract. Runs in your browser, no signup.

Your revision clause

Revisions. The fee includes 2 rounds of revisions to the website homepage design. A "round" means one consolidated list of requested changes sent by Client Co. in a single message.

Client Co. will send feedback within 5 business days of each delivery. If no feedback arrives in that time, the delivery counts as approved for that round.

Additional revision rounds, or changes requested after final approval, are billed at $75 per hour. Your Name will share an estimate and get written approval before starting.

A revision changes work already delivered. New pages, features, deliverables or a change in direction are not revisions; they are new scope and will be quoted separately as a change order.

Not legal advice. Check the wording against your own contract and local law.

How to use it

  1. Fill in your name, the client and the deliverable the revisions apply to.
  2. Choose how many revision rounds the fee includes. Two is common for design and copy work.
  3. Define what one round means, so ten separate emails can't count as one round.
  4. Set a feedback window, so a project can't sit open for months waiting on comments.
  5. Add your hourly rate for extra rounds, copy the clause and paste it into your contract or proposal.

Put the clause in a statement of work. When a client asks for something outside it, check the cost with the scope creep cost calculator and send a change order.

Keep count of rounds automatically

ScopeLine stores your original deal, logs each request against it, flags anything outside scope and turns it into a change order the client can approve. Free for 3 active projects, no card.

FAQ

How many revision rounds should a freelancer include?
Most freelancers include one to three rounds. Two rounds is a common default for design, copywriting and web work: enough for the client to steer the result, but not open-ended. Price the rounds into your fee and charge for anything beyond them.
What counts as one revision round?
Define it in the contract. The safest wording is one consolidated list of changes sent in a single message. Without a definition, a client can send feedback in ten separate emails and call it one round.
What is the difference between a revision and new scope?
A revision changes work you already delivered, like adjusting colours or rewording a section. New pages, new features, new deliverables or a change in direction are new scope, and should be quoted as a change order rather than squeezed into a revision round.
Why add a feedback window?
It stops projects from stalling. If the client hasn't replied within the window, the delivery counts as approved for that round, so you can move on and invoice on schedule.
Is this clause legally binding?
It is plain-English starter wording, not legal advice. It works best inside a signed contract or accepted proposal. Check it against your own contract and the law where you and your client work.
