Deliverables clause

Itemizes exactly what will be produced and delivered under the engagement — the concrete list a Statement of Work usually expands on.

This clause is the contract's definition of "done": a specific, itemized list of what gets handed over, in what format, and by when. It's the primary reference point for distinguishing in-scope work (covered by the fee already paid) from anything additional the client asks for later.

Sample wording

Sample language (illustrative, not legal advice)

Vendor will deliver: (1) a responsive website design in Figma covering up to 8 unique page templates; (2) front-end development of those templates in the Client's existing CMS; (3) one round of stakeholder training on content updates. Any deliverable not listed here is out of scope.

Red flags

  • A closing "and other related work as needed" catch-all that undoes the itemization entirely
  • Deliverables described by outcome ("a great website") rather than concrete, countable items
  • No explicit "anything not listed is out of scope" statement, leaving room to argue an unlisted item was implied

How MarginFlow reads it

This is the clause MarginFlow's scope-comparison logic uses as its baseline: every out-of-scope alert works by checking a detected request or delivered item against this exact itemized list, so how precisely this clause is written directly determines how accurately the whole system can tell in-scope from out-of-scope.
