Frequently asked
Do I need this document separately?
Yes. The agreement sets the deal terms; the General Conditions govern how the project actually runs day to day. They are drafted as a matched pair.
Can I edit it for my project?
Yes. It arrives as an editable Microsoft Word file, so you can adapt names, scope, fees, and project-specific terms while keeping the attorney-drafted structure intact.
