For most entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches or professional services providers, these are the primary legal documents you will need. There are certain exceptions, such as if you have very non-standard services and/or provide services in a highly regulated area (for example, you are a physician who consults for pharmaceutical companies), you might need additional templates (or customization). Another example would be if you are a software developer and have created commercial software (i.e. just like Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word) that you license to customers without providing any services to them. In this instance, you would also want a software license agreement.
Q. Do I need a lawyer to look over these legal documents once I’ve customized them?
To customize these legal templates, you simply fill in the details where indicated, and they are ready to go. Everything you need to complete will be highlighted in yellow, and we provide the template in Word so you can easily edit it. Plus, each customizable contract template includes a detailed video “walk-through” of the template.
While you are always free to engage a local attorney if you wish, the purpose of our contract templates with video resources and other products is to equip consultants and professional services providers with quality templates that they easily customize themselves and use in their business right away.
Q. Are these legal documents valid only in the US, or outside of the US too?
The templates are based on US legal principles. While most of the language is applicable in other countries, there are likely some terms which may need localizing.
Q. Do these templates need to be customized specifically to my industry?
For most coaches, consultants and professional service providers, the templates should not need any further customization. If your industry is highly regulated (such as medical consulting, or power plant design), then additional customizations might be required.
Q. What's the difference between these legal templates and say... others currently out there in the market?
The founder of the Let’s Get Down to Business Bootcamp, has been an attorney for more than 25 years, including 15 years at one of the largest global law firms. During that time, she drafted and negotiated literally thousands of contracts for hundreds of clients ranging from individual professional services providers all the way up to world-wide consulting firms and Fortune 25 corporations, and worked on more than $6 BILLION USD in transactions. She developed and refined these templates based on everything she learned from all of those client representations and every contract she worked on. These legal templates represent literally thousands of hours of legal experience.
Q. How soon can I use these templates?
You can use these templates as soon as you customize them and replace the Let’s Get Down to Business Bootcamp branding with you own company logo. The Bootcamp branding must stay on the original template, but when you customize it for your business, then you should make it be your brand since the Bootcamp is not your attorney.
Q. Will you show me exactly how to use them?
Each module will walk you through the relevant template, including an explanation of the purpose of the template, the key terms, and the places where you need to customize them to fit your business. Plus you will have access to live group “Office Hours” where you can ask questions about the templates.
Q. How will I receive the templates?
Each Customizable Contract Template with Video Resources and Live Office Hours will include both a Word format and PDF format download of the relevant template.
Q. How difficult is it to customize a template?
The Customizable Contract Templates with Video Resources and Live Office Hours and other products are specifically designed for people who are not lawyers. Each one presents the information in a “plain English” (as much as possible) business-focused manner.
Q. If I have questions, is there anyone I can reach out to? And is there a cap on the number of questions I ask?
If you have technical problems accessing the course and/or downloading the templates, you can send an email to help@letsgetdowntobusinessbootcamp.com. Unfortunately, in order to comply with attorney ethics requirements, we cannot provide specific personal legal advice through the Let’s Get Down to Business Bootcamp. If you want “Done For You” services or personal legal advice, you can become a client of the Health & Technology Law Firm, LLC, which is where Sharon Tasman Prysant personally provides legal services.
Q. When will I get access to the templates and resources?
As soon as you purchase a Customizable Contract Template with Video Resources and Live Office Hours you will be taken to a web page which will have the links to the downloadable contract template, the video resources as well as other information (including how to attend the live group “Office Hours”).
Q. I'm time poor - how long does each Customizable Contract Template take to do?
It should take you approximately 1 hour to watch the video resources and customize your contract template. Some templates are a little quicker, some may be a little longer.
Q. Can I get a refund if I don’t like the template?
Unfortunately, due to the fact that the contract templates are immediately downloadable by you in an unlocked Word format, all sales are final. Once you’ve downloaded these templates that we’ve spent hours of time and expertise creating - and which literally represent thousands of hours of legal experience - they’re downloaded and we cannot get them back from you.
Q. When I use these legal documents in my business, can you help me negotiate them with specific clients?
Yes. Working one-on-one with you to help you negotiate contracts is not part of the Customizable Contract Templates with Video Resources and Live Office Hours, but it is a service we offer. To take this service up, you will need to enter into an engagement letter with the Health & Technology Law Firm, LLC. Please contact us directly at contact@letsgetdowntobusinessbootcamp.com and we will be happy to assist you.
Q. Can I tell a client that you are my private attorney if I don’t enter into an engagement letter with the Health & Technology Law Firm?
Unfortunately, no, you cannot tell your clients that the Let’s Get Down to Business Bootcamp or Sharon Tasman Prysant are your attorney. No attorney-client relationship is formed by purchasing any of our Customizable Contract Templates or the Complete Legal Essentials Package.
