Questions
Do I need a master agreement?
This SOW refers to one. If you do not have a master services agreement, add the missing terms or use the contractor agreement template.
Can I add a deliverables table?
Yes. In Word, put the loop tags in a table row and the row repeats for each deliverable.
Is it really free?
Yes. The download is free, and filling it in with the Clausery app is free too, with unlimited documents. Library templates never count towards a plan limit, and no account or card is needed.
