Frequently asked questions

What format is the template in?

You get an editable Microsoft Word (.docx) file that also opens in Google Docs, Pages and LibreOffice.

Can I use this template in my country?

The templates are written for international use with placeholders for governing law and local details. Contract law differs between countries and states, so check the final document against local law, especially for employment and consumer contracts.

Is this legal advice?

No. A template is a starting point, not advice on your situation. For high-value or unusual deals, have a lawyer review the completed document.

How do I receive the file?

Right after payment you are taken to a download page, and PayPal emails you a receipt. Keep the download page link to download the file again.
