Letter enclosing contract for signature

Even today, contracts are regularly sent out by post for signature. This document may be used to create a covering letter for contracts sent out in this way.

The letter assumes execution by signature, rather than execution as a deed. It also assumes that 2 copies of the contract are being sent, and that either: (i) both those copies have been signed by the sending party; or (ii) the receiving party will sign both copies, returning only one copy to the sending party, who will then counter-sign that copy.

In the letter, you may specify the date upon which the contract comes into force. This text should be consistent with any provisions of the contract relating to the time that the contract comes into force.

Optionally, you may also specify that if a signed copy of the contract is not received by the issuing party after a certain time, the offer to contract will lapse.

Number of document instances

Document templates are the products available for sale on this website; whereas document instances are "clones" of the templates, which you can edit using Docular's online editor and export from the website.

We will update our document templates from time to time, but this will not affect your document instances. When you create a document instance, it will be based upon the latest version of the underlying document template at the time of creation of the instance, irrespective of your date of purchase.

You can save your document instance to our servers at any time, and return to editing later. Once you are happy with your editing, you can export the document and save it to your computer.

Number of websites or digital products

The licences include numerical limits upon: (a) the number of websites (including cloud services) on which documents may be published; and (b) the number of digital products (such as software programs) with which documents may be distributed.

Sub-licences permitted

All of our paid licences allow you to sub-license to a client of yours the right to use a document created using Docular.

When you sub-license that right, it becomes attached to the particular client. The number of sub-licences you may grant is numerically limited and, again, the limitation corresponds to the document instance limitation.

Document licence period

This is the period of the licence to use documents created using and exported from the Docular online editor. In short, the licences do not expire. There are no ongoing licence fees.

Credit for Docular

Each free template includes a textual credit for Docular (eg "this document was created using Docular") and you must retain that credit in all versions of the document.

Legal T&Cs

For full details of the licensing rules governing the use of Docular templates, instances and exports, see our terms and conditions.
