Schedule versus contract clause
This fill-in schedule captures the commercial settings for one project. The companion revision-limits clause explains the contract mechanism. Use them together rather than relying on a blank round count to define the entire agreement.
Example: another concept is not a small edit
If the approved brief provides one selected direction, asking for a different concept can change the creative basis of the work. Describe that difference before quoting; do not count it mechanically as a normal revision.

REVISION SCHEDULE — [Project] Approved brief/version: [reference] Included concept directions: [number] Included revision rounds: [number] One round: one consolidated feedback set from [authorized contact] Feedback due within: [business days] of each delivery Additional round: [fee or rate], subject to written approval New direction or changed brief: separately estimated change order Corrections to work that does not meet the agreed brief: handled under [agreement section] Approval record: [method and document location]
| Field | Why it matters | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Round count | Defines the included quantity. | Two consolidated rounds on the selected direction. |
| Feedback owner | Avoids fragmented review. | The marketing lead returns one combined response. |
| Extra-round approval | Separates estimation from permission. | Approve one additional round at the stated fee before editing. |
Use it in four steps
- Match the schedule to your main agreement
- Fill in direction and round counts separately
- Agree one feedback owner and deadline
- Record the extra-round rate and approval method
Customization checklist
- Define a round in terms clients understand
- Do not classify your own errors as billable changes
- Obtain legal review of contract wording where appropriate
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using “reasonable revisions” as the only limit
- Treating each stakeholder message as an approved new round
- Charging for a correction that was already owed
Frequently asked questions
- How many revision rounds should I include?
- There is no universal correct number. Choose a number supported by your estimate, review process, and deliverable complexity, then price it into the initial fee.
- Is this enforceable contract language?
- This is a practical schedule, not legal advice. A qualified lawyer can advise how it should be incorporated into your agreement.
