Our Essential Legal Kit for Design Studios is tailored to meet the needs of creative professionals specialising in Graphic Design, Web Design, and Web Hosting services.  

Our all-encompassing Essential Legal Kit for Design Studio brings these services together under one comprehensive contract, making it easier than ever to formalise your client relationships and protect your interests. If you do not provide Web Hosting services at the present time for example but do offer the remainder of the services covered just remove that portion from the copy you make! 

It's the perfect solution for anyone in the creative space looking to establish clear, legally binding agreements with their clients. Whether you're a seasoned design studio director or just starting out, our template will help you navigate client relationships with confidence. 

For standalone services like graphic design or web design where you have no intention of expanding beyond the scope of those individual service offerings, we also provide separate agreements to suit your specific requirements. 

Graphic Designers: If your primary focus is Graphic Design services, we have a dedicated Graphic Design Services Agreement designed just for you. 

Web Designers: For those exclusively providing Web Design services and not planning to expand into other areas, we offer a specialised Web Design Services Agreement.

Disclaimers

Purchasing our fill in your blanks templates for you to customise and ensure they suit you and your business needs, utilising our free resources or having a chat with us as part of a consultation doesn’t create a lawyer-client relationship between you and Foundd Legal (sorry!). It also doesn’t constitute legal advice. Please consult with a lawyer for any questions. 

We do offer templates for countries outside of Australia, you will see on the specific template page which country or countries the template is available for, just make your selection! Unfortunately at this time, we are only offering templates for the countries specified.  

Our templates are however customisable for countries outside of Australia, and whilst they are a good base and potentially save you money getting something created from scratch, it would be prudent to have a lawyer in your country to review the template especially if you have any questions. 
 
You get a single user licence and can re-use the templates you purchase as many times as you want for your own business needs! But keep in mind we’re a small business just like you, offering a service and we need more people like you to help us continue to grow - just like you!  So from the bottom of our humble hearts, thank you for making a legit purchase and not sharing!  Use of this Site and your purchase of any digital products or downloading of any free resources, are subject to our Terms and Conditions.
