You
What type of party are you?
In most cases pick Corporation or LLC if you have a company. Choose Individual if you're signing as yourself.
Will you be signing this agreement?
Choose Yes if you'll sign in the editor yourself. Choose No if someone else on your side will sign.
What's your full name for the signature block?
This is how your name will appear as the signatory for your party.
What's your title?
A simple title like Founder or Owner is fine.
What's your address?
Usually your business address, or your home address if you're signing as an individual.
What's the email for your party's signer?
We'll use this when you send the document so they can complete their signature.
Them
What's their company name?
Use the legal name of their business. If they're an individual, put their full name instead.
What type of party are they?
In most cases this matches how they operate: Corporation, LLC, or Individual.
Who will sign for them?
If you only know one contact, use that name for now. You can update it later.
What's their title?
In most cases this is CEO, Founder, General Counsel, or another authorized role.
What's their address?
Usually their principal business address. Approximate is okay if you don't have every detail yet.
What's their email address?
We'll use this as the counterparty recipient when you send the agreement for signature.
Agreement
Which side are you?
The provider performs the services. The customer buys them and pays the fees.
What services are being provided?
Describe the work in plain English. A clear scope here is the single best defence against a dispute later.
Will the services produce deliverables?
Deliverables are things the customer keeps, like code, designs, or a report. Choose No for advisory work with nothing handed over.
When does the customer own the deliverables?
Owning on payment is the market standard: the provider assigns the work once the related fees are paid.
When should the agreement take effect?
Most agreements start today. Choose a custom date if you need a different effective date.
What is the effective date?
Pick the date the agreement should begin.
When should the engagement end?
Completion suits a defined project. A fixed date suits a budgeted period. Ongoing suits a rolling retainer.
When does the engagement end?
Pick the last day of the engagement.
How are the fees structured?
Fixed fee suits a defined scope. Hourly suits open-ended work. Milestones tie payment to accepted progress.
How much?
Include the currency. For milestones, list each one and its fee.
How often will invoices be sent?
Monthly in arrears is the most common cadence for services work.
How long does the customer have to pay?
Net 30 is the standard commercial payment period.
How should liability be capped?
A cap limits what either side can be sued for. One times the last twelve months of fees is the common default.
What is the cap amount?
Include the currency.
Which state's law should govern?
Usually the state where your company is formed or where you do business. Delaware is common for US companies.
Which jurisdiction?
Name the country or region whose law should apply.
Do you require any advanced terms?
Things like acceptance windows, expenses, indemnity, insurance, subcontractors, logo rights, no-hire language, or other custom terms.
Advanced
How long does the customer have to reject a deliverable?
After this window a deliverable is treated as accepted. Ten days is a workable default for both sides.
Will the customer reimburse expenses?
In most cases no, unless the work involves travel or third-party costs bought on the customer's behalf.
May the provider use subcontractors?
Choose No to require written approval first. Either way the provider stays responsible for its subcontractors.
Include mutual indemnities?
In most cases yes. Each side covers third-party claims caused by its own materials or misconduct.
Require the provider to carry insurance?
Common for on-site work, regulated industries, or higher-value engagements.
May the provider name the customer publicly?
Choose Yes to allow the customer's name and logo in marketing. Choose No to keep the relationship private.
Include employee non-solicitation?
Adds a limit on recruiting each other's people during the term and for a year after.
How should disputes be resolved?
Litigation means court. Arbitration is private. In most cases litigation is fine unless you prefer arbitration.
Anything else to include?
Optional. Describe it in your own words. AI will draft the legal wording from what you write here.
