Why Not Use Free Legal Templates?
There are three (3) main reasons why you should not use a free legal template you downloaded online.
1. Legal Protection
I have seen many lousy agreement templates online, including templates where the agreement is in the client’s favour! Our agreement templates are written to protect the agency.
Even on ‘ authority ‘ websites, the lack of legal understanding is evident. For example, a leading SEO software (SaaS) company mentions their agreements as “not contracts” on their blog.
2. Easy Training
To make an agreement effective, it must work for your agency. You should be aware of your rights and obligations under the agreement. Most agreement templates online allow you to download it, add your details and send it to the client for signing. But in my experience, agencies don’t know strictly what agreement they have.
Not understanding your rights and obligations can leave you without rights! For example, if you do not give notice of a client’s breach – it may mean that you could WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS to a remedy.
That is why we include video training with each agreement template, so you will have the peace of mind that you are aware of your rights and obligations and be in control of the relationship between you and your clients under this agreement.
3. Not Prepared by Tech/IP Lawyers
Most of the lawyers who prepare these free agreements don’t understand how the internal processes of digital agencies work. This means there can be a conflict between your company’s operations and what you are legally bound to perform under the contract.
Just one example of this is that many free legal agreement templates are prepared so that they require payment after 30 days of delivering the services -. In contrast, we all know digital agencies charge in advance for their services. At the same time, others don’t deal with ownership of deliverables. Who owns the IP? There are many more examples of how all free agreement templates online are incredibly unsuitable for digital agencies.
3. Your Agency’s Reputation Will Burn
If you want to start dealing with larger companies and scale your business, there is nothing worse than sending them a poor contract for approval. In larger companies, all agreements will be sent to their in-house lawyers for review and approval. If you send a poor contract to a large company, the lawyers will review it and tell their manager that the agreement is rubbish and probably laugh at it. This will make your agency look like amateurs, guaranteed.
I hate to say that. But it’s the truth. How do I know? Lawyers talk to their managers and colleagues all the time about contracts.
Reason #1 – Practical Legal Protection
The lawyer has drafted them, Ben Waldeck, who, before his legal career, owned a successful digital agency that provided web design, consulting, SEO, and online marketing services.
Since Ben sold his digital agency, he has gained over ten years as a litigation, technology, and intellectual property lawyer.
Therefore, Ben has drafted these legal documents from a perspective of litigation, IP and tech lawyer for the ultimate legal protection and a digital business owner’s perspective. Hence, they are practical and easy to understand.
Reason #2 – Quality Legal Documents for Your Peace of Mind
They are high-quality documents that will. I have seen businesses use so much junk on the internet. They offer little legal protection; some are like a ticking legal timebomb! I have seen many that (legally) burden digital agencies, coaches and consultants!!!
Reason #3 – Legal Training
As a coach, consultant or digital agency, you must know and understand your legal responsibilities. That’s why we provide FREE video training for each legal document, doubling as a legal education.
Legal documents are useless if you don’t understand them. Downloading and using legal templates without understanding the terms is like accepting house plans without looking at them!
How can you expect to enforce your rights if you don’t know them?
Reason #4 – Suitable in Many Counties
They work in countries worldwide, including the United States, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
Reason #5 – Inexpensive Alternative to Hiring a Lawyer
Lawyers generally charge anywhere from $300 to $600 per hour. Even then, most lawyers have not worked in a digital agency like Ben has. These legal templates cost just a fraction of lawyers who can charge $2,500 to $4,000. And even if you do hire a lawyer, they will use and amend templates (that they call ‘precedents’) that they keep on file.
Reason #6 – Get Powerful & Essential Legal Knowledge
The true beauty of our legal templates is that you get free legal training to understand your rights and legal obligations. There are many free legal templates online. However, they are useless unless you understand the terms. That is why, on top of the quality legal protection that will provide you peace of mind, you will also understand HOW and WHEN you can enforce your legal rights.
Once you follow the guidance within our legal templates, you will feel empowered and in control of the legal side of your agreements, so you can be confident knowing that your business is legally protected.
