Frequently asked
How do I use terms and conditions?
Pair them with your fee or proposal letter: the letter states scope and fee, the terms and conditions supply the legal framework. Together they form the agreement.
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.
