A paid pilot contract should describe the limited service the customer is buying and how both parties will evaluate it. The fee does not by itself settle whether the pilot will convert into a broader agreement.
Specify scope, start conditions, customer responsibilities, delivery dates and acceptance criteria. Define data access, confidentiality, support hours and the handling of changes. Separate pilot deliverables from features that remain on the product roadmap.
Write down the end-of-pilot decision and any expansion process. Make cancellation, payment and data return obligations clear. Have a qualified adviser review the agreement under the governing law when the terms carry material risk.
