I want to add a clause that informs the client I charge an hourly rate of * CAD and that too many calls and micromanagement can incur a fee. How do I do that in my contract. I want to add this as new clauses.
To add these terms, you can create two separate clauses in your contract. Here’s how you can phrase them:
*. Hourly Rate
"The Client agrees to pay the Contractor an hourly rate of $* CAD for all services rendered. Billing will be calculated in increments of [e.g., * minutes] and invoiced [e.g., weekly/monthly]."
*. Excess Communication Fee
"The Client acknowledges that excessive communications, including frequent calls, emails, or micromanagement, may disrupt workflow. The Contractor reserves the right to charge an additional fee of $[amount or percentage] per instance after [e.g., X allowable instances per week/month]."
Make sure these clauses are clear and fair.
