All contract templates

How a template works

Each template is a complete first draft: the parties, the clauses that kind of contract usually needs, payment terms and the governing law, with blanks in square brackets wherever only you know the answer. Pick one, fill in the blanks and change whatever does not fit your deal.

The clauses are written in English, Korean, Japanese and German. A contract in any other language starts from the English text, which you translate yourself; the headings and the certificate are printed in the language you choose.

A template that carries fees starts with an empty price schedule in your currency, so the amounts and the tax come from your own numbers and never from the sample.

Pick the contract you need

Thirty-five templates in five groups. Each name opens the template’s own page: who it suits, what its clauses cover and what to check before you use it.

From template to signed contract

Four steps, all inside QuoteBill. You sign in once; the other side needs no account.

1. Choose a template

   Sign in, open New contract and press the template you want. A draft is created; nothing is sent.

   

2. Fill in and edit

   Enter the other party, the dates and the price, and change any clause. The draft is saved as you go.

   

3. Send it for signature

   Each signer gets a secure link and, by another route, an access code. Your client signs on any phone or computer.

   

4. Keep the signed copy

   When everyone has signed you receive the signed copy, a signature certificate with the audit trail and an evidence file.

   

A sample, not legal advice

These templates are samples written to be read and edited. They are not legal advice and no template fits every situation, so have a lawyer look at any contract that matters: one with a large value, a long term or a party in another country.

Some documents must take a form the law prescribes, such as a will, a guarantee given as a private person or a notarised deed. Do not send those through QuoteBill. The guide on e-signatures explains where the line runs.

Questions about the templates

Are the templates free?

Reading them is free and needs no account. Using one needs a free QuoteBill account. Fair-use limits keep the service from being misused: 50 new contracts a day, 20 sent a day and 100 stored at a time.

Can I change a template?

Yes. A template only creates a draft. Every clause, the price schedule, the dates and the parties can be edited before you send, and nothing is sent until you press send.

Which language is the contract in?

The clauses come in English, Korean, Japanese and German; any other language starts from the English text. You choose the contract language when you create the draft.

Does signing make a contract valid?

QuoteBill creates a simple electronic signature with an audit trail. The law of many countries accepts that for ordinary business contracts, but not for every kind of document. It is not a qualified or advanced electronic signature. The guide goes country by country.

Where do I read a whole template?

On its own page, before you sign in: who it suits, a plain line for each clause and the whole sample text. Creating a draft copies that text into your own contract, where you can edit it.
