Agreements that explain themselves.

Freelance and small-business templates that adjust to whichever side of the deal you’re on, with a plain-English explanation for each clause.

We don’t ask for names, rates, or dollar amounts. The agreement is assembled in your browser on your own machine, never sent to us or stored by us, and carries highlighted blanks you fill in yourself.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a template

    Where a template has two sides — one doing the work, one paying for it — we’ll ask which side you’re on, and every clause after that is written from where you’re standing.

  2. 2

    Answer from lists

    Each question is a set of options, a number, or a date. There is nothing to phrase yourself and no blank page to fill.

  3. 3

    Read it, then take it

    The finished document appears on screen, and you can open a plain-English explanation for each clause. Download it as Word or PDF and fill in the highlighted blanks.

Why it’s built this way

Nothing to write

Every answer is a choice from a list, a number, or a date. That keeps this a form: it responds to the options you pick, not to a description of your situation.

Nothing to hand over

We don’t ask for names, addresses, amounts, or a start date at all. The template carries a highlighted blank for each one, which you fill in yourself once it’s open in Word.

Nothing behind a wall

The templates are free. You do not need to create an account. You do not need to provide us your email. You do not need to pay us anything before you download.
