Contracts

Below are full-length tech contract forms, in MS Word.

These form contracts are provided free of charge, including for use in your contracts and your clients’ contracts. But they’re subject to our TERMS OF USE & PRIVACY, which includes both disclaimers and license restrictions on reselling the forms. In addition to the other disclaimers, please remember that none of the sample contracts below will be appropriate for all business or legal situations. They usually need some customization. Each form contract shows when it was last updated. Not all may yet have been updated to reflect changes to (or new) clauses in the 3rd edition of The Tech Contracts Handbook (available for order from Amazon here). Consider reviewing also the form clauses, which have been updated for the 3rd edition.
