# Delivery – Kleiner Auftrag

> Access, backups, sign-off, invoice: closing the job without trouble.

- [Project Sign-Off Template for Small Software Jobs](https://kleinerauftrag.de/en/delivery/project-sign-off-template/): A project sign-off records that you checked the delivered work and accept it as essentially meeting the agreement. It should name the basis (quote or order), mark each acceptance criterion passed or failed, record open defects with a fix-by date and reserve your rights regarding them. Sign-off often triggers final payment.
- [How to Share Passwords with a Developer Safely](https://kleinerauftrag.de/en/delivery/share-passwords-with-developer/): The safest way to share passwords with a developer is not to share yours at all: create a separate account for them with only the permissions the job needs. Otherwise, send it through an expiring password manager link, never plain email. Once the job is signed off, delete the account or change the password.
- [Who Owns the Code a Freelancer Writes for You?](https://kleinerauftrag.de/en/delivery/who-owns-the-code/): Unless your contract says otherwise, the freelancer usually owns the copyright in code they write for you. US contractor software rarely counts as work made for hire, and UK copyright only moves with a signed written assignment. German law transfers only usage rights. Put a written assignment or licence, plus source code handover, in every job.
- [How to Back Up a Website Before Any Changes](https://kleinerauftrag.de/en/delivery/how-to-back-up-a-website/): To back up a website, save two things: all files, meaning core, themes, plugins and uploads, and an export of the database. Do it before every change, keep three to five copies in different places, and restore one copy to a test environment at least once to prove the backup actually works.
