Hi Pradeep,

THanks for your help.

And could you tell me I violate which item of terms?

I am afraid I make this mistake again.

Thanks in advance,

There are different kinds of samples. The client may not ask for a free sample created for this job but if a a freelancer has a relevant sample it can be shared with the client to evaluate freelancers work but it can not be used by the client. This is not the same as asking for free work.
