Free Bonus: Future-Proof Your Business


While this contract has not yet been legally reviewed, initial sales will go directly toward funding a professional legal review. As a bonus for being an early purchaser, you’ll receive the legally reviewed version for free once it becomes available (expected late 2026).


Your investment today gives you immediate access to a valuable resource and ensures you receive an even stronger, legally vetted agreement in the future—at no extra cost.


Once legally reviewed, the contract will be available for public sale at a higher price.
