Is this legal advice?
No. This is a general-purpose starting structure, not advice for your specific situation. Business agreements can hinge on details — state of formation, industry-specific regulation, how a dispute would actually play out — that a template can't account for. Have a business attorney review anything that involves real money or real risk before you rely on it.

Yes — edit directly on the page, adjust any section or clause, and re-fill the 10 placeholder fields to match your situation before downloading a PDF. It's a starting structure, not a rigid script.
