Agreements

Use this reference for NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, settlement agreements, releases, promissory notes, bills of sale, personal loan agreements, roommate agreements, and mutual-understanding agreements.

Structure

An agreement should define parties, effective date, consideration, obligations, payment or performance terms, confidentiality if any, default/cure, governing law, signatures, and exhibits or schedules.

Common shells

  • NDA: confidentiality scope, exclusions, term, return/destruction, remedies.
  • MSA/SOW: master terms plus specific work, fees, deliverables, acceptance, change control.
  • Settlement/release: claims released, payment, confidentiality/non-disparagement if appropriate, no admission.
  • Promissory note/payment agreement: amount, schedule, interest if any, default, cure, acceleration.
  • Bill of sale: item, consideration, as-is terms, transfer date.

Drafting checks

  • Define the parties exactly.
  • Avoid hidden business terms in recitals.
  • Put money, dates, deliverables, and remedies in operative clauses.
  • Flag terms needing counsel review, especially family-law waivers, support, custody, tax, IP, and noncompete language.
