Sign the MSA once, then layer Statements of Work on top for each project. Change orders, service levels, IP, confidentiality, liability caps — everything pre-wired and lawyer-reviewed.
01 — What you create
The MSA covers the relationship; the SoW covers the project. Sign once, add SoWs for every new project without renegotiating the legal terms.

02 — How it works
The MSA + SoW structure is how serious B2B services work. Negotiate the legal terms once with counsel review; the next deal needs only a quick SoW signed off.
Parties, scope of services, payment terms, IP, confidentiality, liability. Sign this once; it covers every project that follows.
Project-specific deliverables, timeline, milestones. Each new project gets its own SoW that attaches to the MSA.
PDF + editable DOCX. The MSA + initial SoW is one document; subsequent SoWs are short addenda referencing the master.
03 — Built for ongoing relationships
Master terms cover the relationship; project terms live in SoWs. Standard for serious B2B engagements.
Fixed per SoW, hourly rate, monthly retainer, or milestone-based. Mix and match across SoWs.
Response times, revision rounds, escalation. Per-SoW SLAs supported via change orders.
Standard process for scope/timeline/fee changes — protects Provider from scope creep without renegotiation.
Three IP modes, mutual confidentiality, liability cap per SoW, indemnity — same as the Client Contract Generator.
Print-ready PDF for signing, plus a fully editable .docx for redlining with counsel or your counter-party.
Bulk OCR, batch invoicing, multi-party e-signing, redaction, audit logs — pdfFiller picks up where Sonchoy ends. Free for 30 days, no credit card.
Run 100+ invoices, statements, or conversions in one go.
Turn paper invoices into searchable, exportable data.
Multi-party signatures with full audit trails.
Mask sensitive ledger lines before sending to auditors.
04 — Common questions
When you expect multiple projects over time with the same client. Negotiate the MSA terms (IP, liability, payment) once with counsel review, then each new project gets a quick SoW that references the MSA. Saves weeks of legal time per project.
MSA: relationship-level terms — parties, IP, confidentiality, liability cap, governing law, payment terms. SoW: project-level specifics — deliverables, timeline, milestones, project-specific service levels. Don't put project terms in the MSA; you'll regret it on project #2.
Yes — sign the MSA without any SoW, then add SoWs over time. The tool will toggle the SoW section off if you uncheck "Include initial SoW". Future SoWs can be short standalone documents that reference the MSA by number and date.
A typical liability cap (1× fees) makes sense per project, not across an entire multi-year relationship. The MSA caps liability at "fees paid under the applicable SoW in the 12 months preceding the claim" — so a 200K SoW caps at 200K, not at all SoWs aggregated.
Generally yes — MSAs are enforceable in most common-law and civil-law jurisdictions. The governing-law clause picks which courts apply. For high-value cross-border deals, get local counsel to review the DOCX before signing.
PDF (multi-page, numbered sections, signature blocks on the last page, page footers) and .docx (fully editable, same content, ready for counsel redlines or counter-party negotiation).
