Disclaimer

DISCLAIMER: By purchasing a template contract and/or document from The Legal Paige, LLC, you are not given access to Paige, and no attorney-client relationship is created.

All template documents are drafted using general U.S. contract principles and are not state-specific. Our products are easy to use and have highlighted, editable sections with commentary on what to amend according to your business practices and local and state laws. You may modify the document on your own or find an attorney in your state to help you.

Some template documents are available in Canada, have been reviewed by a Canadian lawyer, and are drafted using general Canadian common law contract principles (not for use in Quebec due to civil law jurisdiction). Thus, if you purchase a Canadian template all language in the document will be applicable to your business operating in Canada. If you need assistance modifying the document, please find a lawyer in your territory/province to help you.

You’re getting a whole lot more than a legally legit contract!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit this contract to fit my business needs?

With these resources, modifying your contract is simple, stress-free, and sets you up to be legally legit!

Is this contract legally binding?

Yes, they are legally binding! Our template contracts are designed to work in all U.S. states. They are drafted with language that aligns with general and common contract laws across the United States. However, The Legal Paige® disclaims having your specific contract reviewed by an attorney in your state to ensure full compliance with local laws.

Please note that all of our contracts, unless otherwise noted, are U.S. based and not suitable for use outside the U.S. (If you reside in the U.S., you are considered U.S.-based). If you are located outside of the U.S. or Canada, we advise consulting a licensed lawyer/esquire/barrister in your country to review the contracts, as the language will need to be modified to comply with your country’s contract laws.

For Canadian business owners, we offer select contracts that have been reviewed in partnership with a Canadian lawyer to ensure their suitability! You can find these contracts HERE. (These contracts are not suitable for Quebec-based businesses).

How will I receive the contract after purchase?

You’ll receive a .zip folder with a 5-download limit. This folder includes a PDF, two Word document files, and additional information with side comments to help you easily customize your contract, short form or clause. We recommend downloading the .zip folder on a desktop, as mobile devices often have trouble opening zipped files properly.

Can I reuse this contract for multiple clients?

Yes! That’s exactly what makes TLP contracts so valuable. Once you purchase a template, you can use it again and again with every client you book—no need to pay thousands for a custom contract each time.

Will I receive updates if the law changes?

Yes, you'll receive contract updates via email from The Legal Paige®! The date it was last updated will appear at the top of the document’s first page in red!
