Templates don’t work for real deals

The hidden risks

‍

A template might look fine on paper, but it rarely fits real business scenarios. Poorly adapted templates miss key terms, contradict your operations, or fail to protect your side in disputes.

‍

‍

‍

Real damage, not just inconvenience

‍

Generic contracts are a known source of delays, failed negotiations, and even lawsuits.

‍

For example, startups using free online templates often overlook IP clauses, leading to disputes when co-founders split.

‍

‍

What’s missing?

‍

Templates often skip:

‍

• Industry-specific terms

• Custom deliverables or payment conditions

• Jurisdiction clauses for international clients

‍

‍

‍

Reputation at stake

‍

A shaky contract makes you look unprofessional. Investors, clients, and partners notice sloppy legal work—and may walk away.

‍Better ways to protect yourself

‍

You don’t need a legal team on retainer, but you do need flexibility. Tools that let you build contracts from tested clauses (not one-size-fits-all templates) help avoid trouble.

‍

DocuChain lets you send and sign contracts fast—without relying on generic drafts. It’s a safer way to move deals forward without risking your business.
