IMPORTANT  

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. 

Our templates have been designed to cater to general contractual needs and, in some cases, specific industry requirements. However, they may not encompass all unique aspects or specific needs of your situation or industry. If you require specific terms, conditions, clauses, or provisions not covered in the template you purchase, we strongly recommend seeking professional legal advice. By using our templates, you acknowledge that they may not fully cover the intricacies of your individual circumstances and agree to modify and adapt the content as necessary to meet your specific requirements. We are not responsible for any omissions or the suitability of any template for your particular needs.    

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.
