Can I Use a Free Online Contract Template for My Business Deal? π€ππ°
"Sir, why hire a lawyer when Google gives me free contracts? Can't I just download a sample agreement and sign it with my client?β π§βπ»π
Welcome to the Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Regret era! π»βοΈπ
Using a free contract template without reviewing it legally is like borrowing a parachute off YouTube β it might work, but youβll be the test subject! πͺπ
π Short Answer:
Technically, YES β you can use free templates. But legally, it's risky. Most free contracts are generic, non-compliant, and jurisdictionally inaccurate for Indian law.

π Why Free Contracts Often Fail in India:
β Not tailored to your specific business model
β May lack mandatory clauses under Indian laws (e.g. Arbitration, GST, IP rights)
β May refer to U.S./UK laws by default πΊπΈπ¬π§
β Poorly structured indemnity or termination clauses
β Missing stamp duty or execution formalities
π¨ββοΈ A contract is like a legal armour β one size never fits all. Especially not one downloaded from βLegalTemplates4U.comβ π
