FAQs

Upon completing your purchase, you will immediately receive a download link to access the template, along with a PDF User Guide and Video Tutorials to facilitate quick and easy customisation. While you can begin tailoring your contract immediately, please keep in mind that this is a generic template designed to cover typical situations relating to your industry. We strongly recommend reviewing and adjusting key provisions, such as intellectual property rights, payment terms, client obligations or any other provisions that are important to you, to ensure that they precisely fit your unique circumstances and legal requirements. For specific legal issues or a contract tailored exclusively to your needs, consulting a legal professional is advised.

This template gives you legal permission to use stories, testimonials, and images submitted by others (including parents/guardians of children) on your website, social media, or other promotional materials.

The person submitting the story or photo, usually the parent or guardian if a child is featured. If someone else (like an aunt or godparent) submits the content, they must confirm they have the parent/guardian’s consent.

Not necessarily. One form can cover multiple submissions by the same person, as long as you clearly describe the content being provided. If multiple people contribute (e.g. different parents), each should sign their own form.

Yes. It includes a parent/guardian consent clause so you have explicit permission to use images and stories featuring minors.

Generally, no. This form makes clear that submissions are voluntary and unpaid, unless you agree otherwise in writing.
