*This document is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. An LOI speeds up negotiation on the big-picture terms before both sides invest in drafting a full purchase agreement — but it should explicitly stay non-binding unless you specifically intend otherwise, since ambiguous LOI language has led to real disputes over whether a "preliminary" letter was actually enforceable.*
