IP assignment agreement template with a schedule and moral rights
An IP assignment transfers ownership of work that already exists, which is why the schedule matters more than the wording around it. This one moves six named works from a departing contract developer to the startup that paid for them, licenses back her own library, and lists what gets handed over in the ten days after signing.
IT support services agreement with response times by priority
Managed support is sold on a monthly fee and judged on how fast the phone gets answered when nobody can work. This agreement grades every ticket into four priorities with a published response and resolution target, credits the fee when the target is missed, and writes down exactly what the provider hands back on the way out.
Job description template with a measure against every responsibility
A job description that lists duties without measures is an advertisement; one that says how each duty is measured is the document the review will use a year later. This one gives six responsibilities, each with its measure, splits essential from desirable criteria, and puts the conditions in a block so the ad can be cut from page one.
Job offer letter
An offer of $98,000 plus $11,760 of superannuation, with the three checks it depends on and a clear instruction not to resign until they clear. The letter also names what is not in the offer, which is the part candidates most often assume.
Joint venture agreement template with contributions and split
An unincorporated joint venture has no company to fall back on, so everything a company structure would supply has to be written down. This one puts two builders together for a single $14.6 million refurbishment, splits it 55/45, and sets out who funds it, who decides, how a deadlock breaks and how either of them gets out.
Landscaping contract template with a plant schedule and an establishment period
A garden build is two jobs in one: construction that is finished when it is finished, and planting that is only finished three months later. This contract prices the construction in four stages, lists every plant with its pot size and quantity, and holds the landscaper to a 90 day establishment period for anything that dies.
Lawn mowing service agreement for a fortnightly strata round
A mowing round only goes wrong in two places: the week it rains and the week a gate is locked. This agreement prices the whole year as a schedule, says what happens to a visit lost to weather, and puts the gate and the dog in a clause rather than in a text message.
Leave policy template with the entitlements and rules in one table
A leave policy is not the law restated; it is the business's rules for applying, approving and evidencing leave on top of the law. This one puts every leave type in one table with the entitlement, the notice and the evidence, then spends its pages on the questions managers actually get: shutdowns, excessive balances, cashing out and who approves.
Letter of demand template that can go straight to the tribunal
A letter of demand is the last letter that is not a court form, and it works because it is specific: what is owed, for what, since when, and what happens on day fifteen. This one itemises two invoices, lists the reminders already sent, gives fourteen days and names the court and the amounts that will be claimed.
Letter of intent template for buying a business
A letter of intent is the deal on one page, written before either side has spent money on lawyers, and its only binding parts are the promises that make spending that money safe. This example records a cafe acquisition of up to $1,228,000 with an earn out, gives the buyer 45 days of exclusivity, and numbers the paragraphs that bind.
Liability waiver template written for Australian recreational services
Most waivers in Australia are copies of American forms and exclude things that cannot be excluded, which makes the whole document weaker. This one names the real risks, takes the acknowledgements one by one, and uses the recreational services exclusion the way the consumer law actually permits, with a guardian block for minors.
Licence to occupy template for desk space without a lease
A licence to occupy gives someone permission to use space without giving them exclusive possession of it, which is the line between a licence and a lease. This one covers two desks in a Melbourne studio at $180 a week including GST, with fixed access hours, a right to move the desks on seven days notice, and 14 days to end it from either side.
Loan agreement template
A Tasmanian foundry is borrowing $180,000 from a private investment company to buy a used induction furnace. The lender is not a bank, so everything a bank would take for granted has to be written down: what has to happen before the money moves, what is registered over what, and how long the borrower gets to fix a default.
Marketing agency agreement with a channel scope and ad spend held apart
The two things that break an agency relationship are a scope nobody can point at and a fee that quietly includes the advertising budget. This retainer puts the work in a table with the hours and the reported metric for each channel, then keeps every dollar of ad spend in the accounts of the client where it belongs.
Master services agreement
A data consultancy and an insurer sign this once and then buy work under it for three years. It is the rare contract whose whole purpose is to make the next twenty contracts short.
Memorandum of understanding template that says which clauses bind
An MOU is useful because it is not a contract, and dangerous when nobody says which parts are. This one records a collaboration between a library service and a men's shed in plain words, puts each side's contribution in a table, and marks the three clauses that legally bind, where a letter of intent or a mutual NDA would bind by design.
Model release template with uses allowed and uses excluded
A model release is only as good as its two lists: what the photographs may be used for, and what they may never be used for. This one covers a skincare campaign shoot, runs for three years worldwide for $400, and rules out political advertising, alcohol and gambling, medical claims, stock libraries and training a system on the model's likeness.
Monthly retainer agreement
A studio sells a physio practice twenty four hours a month. Almost every clause exists to answer one question that ordinary contracts duck: what happens to the hours nobody used.
Motorcycle sale agreement with the VIN, odometer and roadworthy
A private bike sale is usually settled in a driveway with a bank transfer and a handshake, and that is exactly when the roadworthy certificate and the finance search get skipped. This agreement records both before the money moves, along with the two numbers that decide whether the bike is what the advertisement said it was.
Music licence agreement for sync use, term and credits
Music carries two rights, the composition and the recording, and a sync licence needs both. This one works because the composer owns both: one fee of $900 covers a single track in a single brand film, worldwide for two years, with paid social at twelve months and broadcast and cinema left off the list.
Mutual NDA
A robotics company and a British parts maker want to look inside each other before agreeing to anything. Both sides are handing over trade secrets, which is the only real reason to make an NDA mutual.
Non-compete agreement template with cascading restraint clauses
An Australian non-compete lives or dies on how it is drafted, because a court will not rewrite one that reaches too far. This one restrains a senior stylist from a competing salon using three separate covenants of falling reach, from 5 kilometres for six months down to 1 kilometre for three, and pays $4,500 for them.
Non-solicitation agreement for clients, staff and duration
A non-solicitation agreement restrains the approach, not the work. This one lets an accounting manager join a competitor the day after he leaves, and stops him approaching the clients he handled or the colleagues he managed for twelve months, with a six month window in which he also cannot accept work from those clients.
One way NDA
A health company has to show a design studio an unreleased app, its employer pricing and its patient research. The studio is showing nothing back, which is exactly when an agreement should run in one direction.
