What’s in the contract template

Every block has a placeholder showing where your details go. Type over them by hand, or bind each one to a field in your data and let it fill itself.

  • Title, parties and effective date {{contract.title}} · {{client.legal_name}}
  • Scope of services {{contract.scope}}
  • Fees and payment terms {{contract.fees}} · {{contract.payment_terms}}
  • Term, renewal and termination {{contract.term}}
  • Standard clauses, included by rule loop: {{clauses}}
  • Signature blocks for both parties {{signatory.name}}

How to use this contract template in Google Docs

  1. 01

    Copy the template to your Google Drive

    Press "Copy to my Google Docs". Google asks to make a copy, and the copy is yours to edit; the original is never changed. All you need is a free Google account.

  2. 02

    Replace the placeholders with your details

    Text in double braces, like {{contract.title}}, marks where your own values go. Work down the page: title, parties and effective date; scope of services; fees and payment terms, and so on.

  3. 03

    Make it match your brand

    Swap the logo, colours and fonts in Google Docs as you would in any document. The layout is built to hold when the text changes.

  4. 04

    Download it as a PDF, or share the link

    File, then Download, then PDF Document gives you a file to send or print. Download as Word (.docx) works too if someone needs it.

  5. 05

    Making these regularly? Fill it from your data

    Connect Airtable, Google Sheets or a CSV to SourceToDocs and it fills a copy of this template for every row, so you stop retyping.

A contract template fails in exactly one way: someone deletes the wrong clause from a master, or forgets to. This template moves that decision out of the document and into the deal record. The structure is fixed; the clauses are rows in a library with rules for when they apply; each deal gets the agreement it needs.

Clauses by rule, not by hand

Keep a clauses table: title, text, applies-when. The deal record carries the facts (jurisdiction, term, whether personal data is processed). Generate, and the standard clauses section contains only the clauses whose rule matched. Updating a clause updates every future contract.

Fill this contract template from Airtable, Google Sheets or a CSV

Connect an Airtable base, a Google Sheets spreadsheet or a CSV file, map each field to a placeholder, and generate. One run can produce a single document or one per matching row, delivered to your Google Drive.

Common questions, answered

Is this legal advice? +
No. The clauses are placeholders for your own approved wording. The template provides the structure and the mechanism for including clauses by rule; your lawyer provides the text.
How do conditional clauses work? +
Clauses live in a linked table with an applies-when field. The deal record decides which apply (jurisdiction, term, data processing, exclusivity) and only those appear, in order. Nothing is hand-deleted from a master.
Can it go to e-signature? +
Yes. Generate the PDF alongside the Doc and send it through DocuSign, PandaDoc or whichever tool you use. The template produces the document; signature is downstream.
Is this contract template free? +
Yes. Copy it to your own Google Drive at no cost and with no sign-up, then edit it like any Google Docs file. You only need SourceToDocs if you want it filled from your data automatically, and that has a free plan too.
Can I download this contract template as a PDF or Word file? +
Yes. Open your copy in Google Docs and choose File, Download. PDF Document gives a print-ready file; Microsoft Word (.docx) gives an editable one for people who do not use Google Docs.
