Product designers and deliverable-based consultants
Revision-limit clause template

Replace every bracketed field before sending.
01
Included revision rounds

02
Feedback process
The Client will provide consolidated feedback through [channel] within [number] business days of delivery. Conflicting or separate comments from multiple stakeholders must be resolved by the Client before submission. Delivery dates may move when feedback is late or incomplete.
03
What remains inside scope
A revision refines work within the approved brief and direction. Examples include [copy adjustment, hierarchy refinement, visual detail, or correction] where the request does not add a new deliverable or materially change the approved direction.
04
What becomes additional scope
Additional scope includes new screens, flows, platforms, audiences, research, deliverables, a return to an already approved direction, or work beyond the included rounds. Any request that changes cost or delivery time will be documented in a change order before work continues.

Approval
A stage is approved when [approval method]. Approval allows the next stage to begin. Reopening an approved stage may change the fee and delivery schedule and will be assessed as a change request.
