That was my reaction, too, though I didn't state it as clearly as Paul just did. Paul's caution applies not only to accessibility, but to any contract. If the work is not defined specifically enough, you could find yourself stuck with a two-year project you though would only take a month. You stand to lose a _LOT_ of money. Don't count on trust or friendship, either. Never put your faith in a client without a clear-cut contract. And friendships have been lost over these sorts of things. I'm not saying to mistrust your clients or friends. Just get the details spelled out in writing. I know, it's impossible to have everything spelled out, but something like this is a huge, blinking neon red flag. Even if you're billing hourly, get it spelled out. Clients will have schedule expectations and budget limitations. It's only fair to them, as well as to yourself, that everybody have a clear picture of the project.
