How to use the tool

  1. Describe your services. State what you will deliver.
    Example 1: “Design a cross-platform Flutter app with Firebase integration.”
    Example 2: “Provide bilingual copy-editing for peer-reviewed journals.”
  2. Define payment terms. Enter rates, schedule, and method.
    Example 1: “£60 / hour, weekly invoices via Stripe.”
    Example 2: “€3,000 fixed fee—40 % upfront, 30 % mid-project, 30 % on delivery.”
  3. Add timeline, IP rights, confidentiality, termination, and extra clauses. Only the bold-labeled fields are mandatory; optional fields refine expectations.
  4. Click “Generate Contract Template.” The server (action = process_llm_form) sends back structured contract text ready for review.
  5. Copy, save, and edit. Use “Copy to Clipboard,” paste into your preferred editor, and tailor wording before signing.

What does the generator produce?

The tool returns a plain-text contract covering scope, payment, timeline, IP, confidentiality, termination, and extra clauses—all in one scrollable block.

Is the template legally binding?

A signed contract becomes enforceable if it meets local contract-law requirements: offer, acceptance, consideration, and lawful purpose (ABA, 2020).

Can I reuse the template for multiple clients?

Yes. Adjust project-specific details, then secure signatures electronically or on paper for each engagement (DocuSign Legal Guide, 2022).

How secure is my data?

Form data transmits over HTTPS and is not stored after processing, complying with GDPR “data-minimization” rules (EU 2016/679, Recital 39).

Can I adapt the contract for international work?

Add governing-law and currency clauses; consult a lawyer about VAT and jurisdiction differences (WIPO Cross-Border Contracts Guide, 2021).

How often should I update my standard contract?

Review annually or when laws change—e.g., new consumer-protection rules in the U.K. Digital Markets Act 2023 (U.K. Parliament, 2023).

Which clauses protect my intellectual property?

Use a “work-for-hire” or license clause specifying transfer timing and usage limits; cite copyright law section 203 for reversions (U.S. Copyright Office, 2022).

What if a client refuses to sign?

Pause work. “Written contracts minimize misunderstandings and provide clear evidence of agreement” (ABA, 2020). Without a signature, payment recovery is harder.
