Stop putting vague scope like "additional revisions" in your contracts

Got burned last month when a client kept asking for tiny tweaks over 3 weeks and called them all "revisions." Now I spell out exactly how many rounds you get and what counts as a new one, saved me 10 hours on my last project.

Has anyone tried adding a time limit instead of just a revision cap? Like I put in my contracts that all revisions must be requested within 14 days of delivery. That way if a client sits on something for a month and then comes back with a list, it's a new project not a revision. It stops that whole "we forgot to mention this earlier" game they love to play lol

Heard this exact same trick works for getting contractors to actually show up on time too.

Does a 14 day limit actually hold up if they claim they never got the delivery email?
