Purpose
The Contract Template is intended solely as a resource for individuals or entities who voluntarily choose to prepare their own service agreements with prospective clients. Nothing contained within this Contract Template or this Disclaimer is intended to constitute legal advice, nor is it a substitute for legal advice.

Not Legal Advice
As noted above, the Contract Template should not be considered legal advice. In the service agreements you prepare, as with any legal transaction, you may benefit from advice of counsel. Should such need arise, we recommend that you contact an attorney licensed in your state.
We cannot provide any kind of advice, explanation, opinion, or recommendation to you about potential legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, or strategies. You may have a particular situation not addressed by the Contract Template, and an attorney can address that issue for you.
State Specific Requirements
Every state has different laws which may impact the validity of your service agreements. Furthermore, legal standards are subject to change and differing interpretations depending on the jurisdiction. As such, no template will encompass the needs of every individual situation in every jurisdiction.
Therefore, the provisions contained within the Contract Template have been drafted to be generally applicable at the time they were written. Compliance with state-specific or jurisdictional requirements may be necessary for your service agreements to be valid. Should you have any concerns regarding the validity of the service agreements you prepare, we recommend that you contact an attorney licensed in your state.
