Vendor Agreement Generator
Generate a vendor or supplier agreement covering services, deliverables, fees, warranties, IP, confidentiality and liability.
What is Vendor Agreement?
A vendor agreement generator. It writes the contract for a supplier providing services or deliverables to a business: what they must do and to what standard, how they get paid, who owns what they produce, and what happens when something goes wrong. The liability cap and the warranty position are the two clauses that decide what a dispute actually costs.
How it works
Payment terms follow the structure you choose, and the fee-increase notice and invoice contact are written into the payment section. The intellectual-property clause switches between assignment to the customer, retention by the vendor with a licence back, and joint ownership — with the pre-existing background IP carve-out that assignment clauses need to stay workable. The indemnity, insurance and data protection sections complete the agreement.
- Fill in the details the document needs. Business name, jurisdiction, dates, the clauses that apply to you. Nothing is uploaded and no account is created — the form is the only input, and the document is assembled in the page.
- Watch the blanks, not just the text. Any field you leave empty appears in the document as [[a highlighted marker]], and the panel above the output lists exactly which blanks are left. A half-finished policy should never look finished.
- Copy or download, then have it reviewed. Copy the document to the clipboard or download it as a .md file named for what it is. Every page states the same thing: this is a template, and it needs a qualified lawyer's eye before you publish or sign it.
Examples
A privacy policy for a side project
A solo developer shipping a newsletter signup needs a policy that says what is collected, why, and how to ask for deletion. Selecting the categories actually collected — rather than copying a competitor's list — takes two minutes and produces a document that is true.
Terms of service with a real liability cap
The liability clause is written from a number you supply instead of being left as "our total liability is limited to [amount]". A cap that is never filled in is a clause no one can rely on.
A DMCA notice a provider will actually action
A takedown that is missing the URL of the original work, or the statement under penalty of perjury, is one the service provider is entitled to ignore. Every required element appears in the generated letter, in the order the statute describes.
A DPA for a new vendor
Processors, security measures, breach notification window, transfers and audit rights as one document, with the subprocessor and SCC clauses switched on because this vendor uses both.
Common mistakes
Publishing a template without reading it
A policy that promises something you do not do — deleting data on request within 30 days, or never sharing data with third parties — is worse than no policy, because it is a documented misstatement. Read every clause against what actually happens and cut the ones that do not apply.
Assuming one document covers every jurisdiction
A privacy policy written for the UK does not automatically satisfy California, Brazil or Canada, and an employment clause that is standard in one country can be unenforceable in another. Name the jurisdiction you are actually writing for, and check the rules that follow from it.
Bundling consent and calling it consent
A single "I agree" covering marketing, analytics, photographs and treatment is not valid consent under most regimes, because consent has to be specific and separately given. Use one form per purpose, and never pre-tick the optional boxes.
Leaving the blanks in after generating
The marker can be more subtle to spot in a document than on the page — search the pasted text for the bracket characters before publishing, or use the missing-field list to confirm it is empty.
Frequently asked questions
Should the customer or the vendor own the deliverables?
The customer usually wants to own what it paid to have created, and most vendors will agree as long as they keep their pre-existing tools and background materials and get a licence back to reuse generic components. Pure retention by the vendor is harder for the customer to accept.
What is a reasonable liability cap?
Commonly the fees paid in the twelve months before the claim, or a multiple of the annual fee for higher-risk work. The number should bear some relationship to the exposure — a cap of the annual fee on a contract that could cause a data breach is worth arguing about.
Where does a DPA fit?
As an appendix to the agreement when the vendor handles personal data on the customer's behalf. Keeping it separate means the privacy detail — subprocessors, breach notification, transfers — can be updated without reopening the commercial terms.
