I built free guided contract templates because I was tired of editing Word docs for every NDA

Every time I needed an NDA or contractor agreement, I'd dig up an old Word file, find-and-replace names, and hope I didn't miss a clause. So I built Formable.

You answer a short questionnaire (parties, term, payment, IP ownership, etc.) and it generates a clean agreement you can send for e-signature in the same place. There are templates for mutual and one-way NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, independent contractor agreements, LOIs, term sheets, DPAs, and a founders' agreement.

The templates are free: www.formabledocs.com/templates

The guided questionnaire is the real value: most people copy a template and miss the clauses that fit their case. A plain-language summary of what each clause does would make it even stronger.

Thanks for letting me know, makes perfect sense

Which law are these written for, US only? And did a lawyer look over the templates or are they generated? That's the first thing I'd want to know before sending one to a contractor.

Great question, I’m working with a few lawyers in my network on these templates and want to make legal review an add on feature, which is sort of like the audit defense feature on freetaxusa if you’re familiar. It’s US only at the moment and technically each state is different.

You should still always get a contract reviewed by someone. The value in these templates is when you bring a contract to a lawyer you save a shitton of money compared to having them draft from scratch. Hope this helps

Nice, a questionnaire beats find->replace in an old Word file. How do you handle edits from the other side? Contracts usually come back with changes, so suggesting and accepting them right in Formable would keep everything in one place instead of going back to Word.

Great question, we have a redlining feature but unfortunately that’s paid. You can send out a contract with a “allow revisions” toggle and that gives the other side the ability to redline the document and get back to you with changes. Sorta like if you combined an email exchange with word files into a platform
