Skip the template. Describe the deal instead.

When a download is genuinely the right answer.

If you send the same document to the same kind of counterparty every week and it never changes, a template is fine and cheaper than anything else. Write it once, have a lawyer look at it, reuse it.

The trouble starts when the document is not the same every time, which for anything commercial is most of the time. Then the template supplies the headings and leaves you the scope, the phases, the numbers and the terms, which is where the afternoon goes. Worse, the instinct with a generic template is to delete whatever looks unnecessary, and the clauses that look unnecessary are the liability cap, the cure period and the exclusions.

Each page below is the checklist you would want either way: what the document has to contain, what changes with the situation, and the provisions people cut by mistake. Then, if it is useful, describe the deal and get the finished one back.
