Contract Clauses

Check a Revision Clause for Correction and Approval Gaps

Check that revision terms distinguish included refinement, corrections against the brief, new directions, and additional rounds. A round limit alone does not resolve what happens when delivered work misses agreed requirements.

What you need to know

Check that revision terms distinguish included refinement, corrections against the brief, new directions, and additional rounds. A round limit alone does not resolve what happens when delivered work misses agreed requirements.

Illustrative case — not a customer result

Illustrative case: a designer has used both included rounds, but the final export is missing a required size. That omission is different from a new stakeholder requesting a different visual direction. A clear agreement should address nonconformity as well as optional extra creative review.

Apply the decision

  • Find the revision allowance and definition
  • Check the acceptance and correction provisions
  • Define approval for changed direction or extra rounds

Boundary and limitations

Do not imply that exhausting rounds automatically ends every correction obligation.
