We do not have a separate product page for the individual templates in the Podcasters’ Ultimate Contract Bundle just yet, but shoot us an email and we’ll get you set up!

Yes, as long as they comply with UETA and the ESIGN Act, electronic signatures are valid in all U.S. states and other industrialized countries, and carry the same legal weight as handwritten signatures. To ensure compliance, make sure to include language in your agreement stating that the parties agree to proceed electronically, and use one of the larger, more reputable e-sign companies like DocuSign, PandaDoc (our favorite), HelloSign, or one of the many others!

While these templates were drafted by an attorney, purchasing any templates from us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Questions and concerns about the templates will be answered in open office hours and Q&A sessions; however, this will be limited to general information about the documents, how to use them, what the different clauses mean, and some general options when it comes to customization.

In compliance with the strict ethical and professional rules that apply to all attorneys, Liz will not be customizing clauses for you and no specific legal advice custom-tailored to any particular business circumstance will be given unless her firm is separately engaged for this purpose in a formal retainer agreement.

While we strive to make the process as easy as possible by including video trainings and regular Q&A calls to answer any questions you may have, the reality is that yes, at this price point, you’ll still have to do some work. It sucks, but so does going to court… and losing the rights to the intellectual property you created … or being found liable for $1M+ in damages because you didn’t have an agreement in place managing and properly allocating the very real risks of doing business. If you don’t believe that you can make the time to customize your documents, we recommend hiring an attorney to create a legal package for your business.

Starting your drafting process with our templates will most definitely save you a lot of money. As we all know, lawyers are expensive. Lawyers who serve niche industries are even more expensive than your average business attorney.

For context, having a package that includes everything in the Podcasters’ Ultimate Contract Bundle custom-drafted for you by an attorney familiar with the legal and business needs of MSPs can easily cost you over $10K.

And that $10K will not include any Q+A calls, templatized forms, or any recorded video trainings that you can re-visit any time you need to change something or answer a question for someone asking you about the meaning of a term (rather than having to schedule a paid consult with an attorney every time you need a refresher or minor edit). Not to mention the beautiful, brandable, client-friendly design, which is also not included in the “ugly wall of text” style agreements that you’ll get from a typical business law firm.

For most Podcasters, the alternatives to paying a month’s salary for a custom legal package are either:

a) not having a contract at all (best of luck with that);

b) “borrowing” a form from a colleague without knowing where it came from, or downloading something that “looks legal enough” from the internet (only to find out after SHTF that it was actually filled with clauses that throw you under the bus and ensure that you lose every argument and pay out the maximum amount possible); or

c) hiring your friendly neighborhood general business attorney who’s a great guy, but has no idea what Podcasters do besides talk to each other, or the very specific intellectual property issues that need to be addressed in the document.

The Podcasters’ Ultimate Contract Bundle was created to serve as an additional option for Podcasters to have as much protection as possible until the budget permits hiring an experienced law firm for a fully custom legal package.
