Questions, answered.
- What's the difference between Core and Advanced?
- Both are complete and ready to sign. Core ($15) covers the essential terms for a straightforward engagement. Advanced ($30) adds protections for higher-stakes work: non-compete/non-solicit where your state allows, indemnification, detailed IP, warranties, and dispute resolution. You can start with Core and upgrade anytime.
- Is it valid in my state?
- Yes. Every document is built and kept current by a licensed attorney with your state's and federal law wired in. That's the whole point. You'll pick your state when you start.
