# Contract & Proposal Writer

**Tier:** POWERFUL
**Category:** Business Growth
**Tags:** contracts, proposals, SOW, NDA, MSA, GDPR, legal templates, freelance

## Overview

Generate professional, jurisdiction-aware business documents: freelance contracts, project proposals, statements of work, NDAs, and master service agreements. Outputs structured Markdown with conversion instructions for DOCX and PDF. Covers US (Delaware), EU (GDPR), UK, and DACH (German law) jurisdictions with clause libraries for each.

**This is not a substitute for legal counsel.** Use these templates as strong starting points. Review with an attorney for engagements over $50K or involving complex IP, equity, or regulatory requirements.

## Core Capabilities

- Fixed-price and hourly development contracts
- Monthly consulting retainer agreements
- Project proposals with timeline and budget breakdown
- Statements of Work (SOW) with deliverables matrix and acceptance criteria
- NDAs (mutual and one-way)
- Master Service Agreements (MSA) with SOW attachment framework
- SaaS partnership agreements (reseller, referral, white-label, integration)
- GDPR Data Processing Addenda (Art. 28) for EU/DACH
- Jurisdiction-specific clause library (US, EU, UK, DACH)
- Change order and scope management clauses

## Clarify First

Before drafting the document, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

- [ ] **Document type** — contract, proposal, SOW, NDA, or MSA (selects the template and required clauses)
- [ ] **Jurisdiction** — US-Delaware, EU, UK, or DACH (drives IP, liability, and governing-law clauses; DACH needs Nutzungsrechte, EU needs a DPA)
- [ ] **Engagement model + value** — fixed-price, hourly, retainer, or revenue-share and total value (drives payment terms and liability cap)
- [ ] **Personal data involved** — triggers a mandatory GDPR Art. 28 DPA for EU/DACH engagements

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the document.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Requirements Gathering

Gather before drafting:

| Question | Why It Matters |
|----------|---------------|
| Document type? | Contract, proposal, SOW, NDA, MSA |
| Jurisdiction? | US-Delaware, EU, UK, DACH |
| Engagement model? | Fixed-price, hourly, retainer, revenue-share |
| Parties? | Legal names, roles, registered addresses |
| Scope summary? | 1-3 sentences describing the work |
| Total value or rate? | Drives payment terms and liability caps |
| Timeline? | Start date, end date or duration, milestones |
| Special requirements? | IP assignment, white-label, subcontractors, non-compete |
| Personal data involved? | Triggers GDPR DPA requirement in EU/DACH |

### Step 2: Template Selection

| Document Type | Engagement Model | Template |
|--------------|-----------------|----------|
| Dev contract | Fixed-price | Template A: Fixed-Price Development |
| Dev contract | Hourly/Retainer | Template B: Consulting Retainer |
| Partnership | Revenue-share | Template C: SaaS Partnership |
| NDA | Mutual | Template NDA-M |
| NDA | One-way (discloser/recipient) | Template NDA-OW |
| SOW | Any | Template SOW (attaches to MSA or standalone) |
| Proposal | Any | Template P: Project Proposal |

### Step 3: Generate & Fill

Fill all `[BRACKETED]` placeholders. Flag missing information as `[REQUIRED - description]`. Never leave blanks -- an incomplete contract is more dangerous than no contract.

### Step 4: Review Checklist

Before sending any generated document:

- [ ] All `[BRACKETED]` placeholders filled
- [ ] Correct jurisdiction selected and consistent throughout
- [ ] Payment terms match engagement model
- [ ] IP clause matches jurisdiction requirements
- [ ] Liability cap is reasonable (typically 1x-3x contract value)
- [ ] Termination clauses include both for-cause and for-convenience
- [ ] DPA included if personal data is processed (EU/DACH mandatory)
- [ ] Force majeure clause included for engagements over 3 months
- [ ] Change order process defined for fixed-price contracts
- [ ] Acceptance criteria defined for each deliverable

| Model | Standard Terms | Risk Notes |
|-------|---------------|------------|
| Fixed-price | 50% upfront, 25% at beta, 25% at acceptance | Best for defined scope |
| Hourly | Net-30, monthly invoicing | Requires time tracking |
| Retainer | Monthly prepaid, 1st of month | Include overflow rate |
| Milestone | Per-milestone invoicing | Define milestones precisely |
| Revenue-share | Net-30 after month close, minimum threshold | Requires audit rights |

**Late payment:** 1.5% per month (US standard), up to statutory maximum in EU/DACH.

### Intellectual Property

|-------------|---------------------|-----------------|

| UK | Employer owns (if employee) | Contractor: explicit assignment required |
| DACH (Germany) | Author retains Urheberrecht permanently | Must transfer Nutzungsrechte (usage rights) explicitly |

**Portfolio rights:** Dev
