1. The library

2. The document

No clauses in the document.

Reorder the clauses and every number and every cross-reference is worked out again.

3. Fill in the blanks

Every placeholder in the clauses you picked, gathered here. Fill one and it changes everywhere it appears.

4. Definitions check

Which capitalised terms this document defines, which it defines and never uses, and which it uses without defining.

5. The document as it stands

6. Take it away

How it works

CLAUSE is a contract clause library you keep in your own browser. Clause numbers are worked out rather than typed, cross-references point at a clause so they survive reordering, and party names are filled in from placeholders. Export a draft as a Word document. No set of clauses is safe to use unchanged, including these, so treat it as a place to keep and assemble your own wording and have it reviewed.

Doing this often? OBSCURA Practice assembles letters and documents for a matter from templates, with the client's details filled in. On its own, US$4 a month; with everything else, US$9 a month or US$79 a year. 7 days free.
