Free consultancy terms and conditions
This is a short-form consultancy T&Cs document, which can be used free of charge if you retain the Docular credit.
The template includes provisions relating to the services to be provided, the supply of deliverables, the licensing of rights in the deliverables to the client, the charges payable by the client, the status of the consultant, subcontracting, and much else besides.
The particulars of each contract should be set out in a distinct statement of work, and a skeleton for this document is provided with the template.
This T&Cs document contains the same substantive provisions as the free consultancy agreement document; only the form is different.
If you wish to use this document without the Docular credit, you can purchase a licence to do so; credit aside, the document is identical to the consultancy terms and conditions (basic) that we publish.
