Question 1

What does a custom Website/Software Development Agreement include?

• Detailed scope of work with clear deliverables and milestones
• Acceptance criteria and change control procedures
• Payment schedules, milestones, and late payment provisions
• IP ownership or licensing arrangements
• Confidentiality and data protection clauses
• Service level agreements (SLAs) for uptime and response times
• Maintenance and support terms

Each section is tailored specifically to your project requirements and business model, ensuring comprehensive protection for both parties.

Question 2

How quickly will I receive my agreement?

Accepted Answer

Standard delivery is within 3 business days. After checkout, we'll email you a detailed questionnaire to capture your specific requirements including scope, deliverables, acceptance criteria, and payment terms.

If you select Express Delivery, you'll receive your custom agreement within 1 business day.

Once we receive your questionnaire responses, our licensed Canadian lawyers will draft your agreement and send it for your review.

Question 3

Who will draft my agreement?

Accepted Answer

Your agreement will be drafted by a licensed Canadian lawyer with expertise in technology contracts, software development, and web services.

Our legal team has extensive experience drafting agreements for:
• Custom software development projects
• Website design and development
• SaaS platforms and APIs
• Ongoing maintenance and support relationships

Every agreement is reviewed for compliance with Canadian law and industry best practices.

Question 4

How do you gather information about my project?

Accepted Answer

After you complete your purchase, we'll email you a comprehensive AI-powered questionnaire that asks about:

• Project scope, deliverables, and milestones
• Technical specifications and requirements
• Acceptance and testing procedures
• Payment terms and schedules
• IP ownership and licensing preferences
• SLA requirements (uptime, response times, support windows)
• Maintenance and support expectations
• Any special requirements or concerns

The questionnaire is designed to capture all necessary details efficiently, typically taking 10-15 minutes to complete.

Question 5

Are revisions included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, one round of amendments is included with your purchase. After reviewing your draft agreement, you can request modifications to ensure it perfectly matches your needs.

Our lawyers will incorporate your feedback and provide a finalized version ready for execution.

Question 6

Can I consult with a lawyer about my agreement?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While the drafting service includes written communication and revisions, you can add a solicitor consultation if you need to discuss specific clauses, negotiate terms with the other party, or need advice on implementation.

Consultations can be purchased as an add-on during checkout or after receiving your draft agreement.

Question 7

How is this different from using a template?

Accepted Answer

Unlike generic templates, your custom agreement is:

• Drafted by a licensed Canadian lawyer specifically for your project
• Tailored to your unique scope, deliverables, and business requirements
• Includes only relevant clauses for your specific situation
• Written in clear, modern language (not archaic legalese)
• Compliant with current Canadian law and industry standards
• Reviewed and refined based on your feedback

Templates require significant legal knowledge to customize properly and often contain irrelevant or outdated provisions. Our custom approach ensures you get exactly what you need.

Question 8

Can you include service levels and maintenance terms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can include comprehensive SLA and maintenance provisions such as:

• Uptime guarantees and availability commitments
• Response time requirements for support requests
• Support windows and hours of operation
• Security patching and update schedules
• Bug fix procedures and timelines
• Ongoing maintenance and enhancement terms
• Performance metrics and monitoring

These terms will be tailored to your specific project and support requirements.

Question 9

Who owns the IP when the project is complete?

Accepted Answer

We can structure the agreement to meet your needs, including:

• Full assignment of IP to the client (you own everything)
• License grants (developer retains ownership but gives you rights to use)
• Hybrid approaches for different components
• Clear treatment of pre-existing materials and third-party components
• Open-source software provisions
• Work-for-hire arrangements

We'll discuss your preferences in the questionnaire and draft the IP provisions accordingly. The goal is to ensure both parties have clear rights and there are no surprises down the road.

Question 10

Is the agreement compliant with Canadian law?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every agreement is drafted by a licensed Canadian lawyer and complies with:

• Canadian contract law principles
• Provincial and federal regulations
• Privacy and data protection requirements (PIPEDA)
• Consumer protection laws (where applicable)
• Industry-specific regulations

We stay current with legal developments to ensure your agreement is enforceable and provides maximum protection.

Question 11

What if I need to amend the agreement in the future?

Accepted Answer

Your agreement will include a standard amendment provision specifying that changes must be in writing and signed by both parties.

If you need to modify your agreement after execution, we can assist with drafting amendments for an additional fee. This ensures any changes are legally sound and properly documented.

Question 12

Can you help with implementation and execution?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your agreement will be delivered in a format ready for execution (typically Word and PDF), with guidance on:

• How to properly execute the agreement
• Required signatures and formalities
• Recommended record-keeping practices
• Key obligations and deadlines to track

If you need additional assistance with negotiation, execution, or implementation, we can provide those services separately.

Question 13

What happens after I receive my agreement?

Accepted Answer

After delivery, you'll have a fully drafted, customized agreement ready to use. You can:

1. Review the agreement yourself or with your team
2. Request one round of revisions (included)
3. Share it with the other party for review and negotiation
4. Execute the agreement once both parties are satisfied
5. Contact us for additional support if needed

Your agreement will be professionally formatted and ready for immediate use. We'll also provide brief implementation notes to help you get started.
