FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What is a legal clause library?

A legal clause library is a searchable collection of pre-drafted contract clauses — individual provisions like indemnification, limitation of liability, or confidentiality — that you can browse, understand, customize, and insert into contracts. Instead of writing every clause from scratch or copying from old agreements, you work from professionally drafted starting points.

What types of clauses are in the library?

The library covers 20+ clause categories: Indemnification, Limitation of Liability, Confidentiality / NDA, Intellectual Property Assignment, Non-Compete / Non-Solicitation, Termination (for cause and convenience), Dispute Resolution / Arbitration, Governing Law, Payment Terms, Warranties / Disclaimers, Force Majeure, Entire Agreement (merger clause), Severability, Amendment Process, and more.

Can I use these clauses in real contracts?

Yes. The clauses are drafted for actual use in business agreements. Each clause is a starting point — review it, customize it for your situation, and have a lawyer review the final contract if the deal is high-stakes. For routine agreements, many small businesses use these clauses directly.

What is the difference between a "balanced" and a "favorable" clause?

A balanced clause treats both parties roughly equally. A "favorable to you" version tilts the risk toward the other party (useful when you have leverage). A "favorable to counterparty" version is the concession position — used when you need to close a deal and the other side won't budge. Knowing all three versions makes you a better negotiator.

What is a contract playbook and why do I need one?

A contract playbook is your firm's pre-approved positions on standard contract issues. For each issue (e.g., indemnification, limitation of liability), the playbook defines: your preferred clause, acceptable fallback positions, and deal-breakers. Having a playbook speeds up negotiations, ensures consistency, and reduces legal review time — even for small businesses.
