What it contains
Each page sets out the clause inventory of one class of agreement in document order, notes which clauses are commonly negotiated, and lists the marks a signer fills.
01
These describe the instrument, not your copy
Every page here describes what a class of agreement usually contains. None of them describes any particular document, and none tells a reader what to do about the one in front of them — that is the line between explaining an instrument and practising law, and it is drawn deliberately.
The mark set at the end of each page is the practical part: how many signature, name, capacity and date marks the document carries, and who owns each. That is what turns a clause inventory into something you can actually send.

Everything in this section
checklists
- The anatomy of a change order
A change order is a short amendment to one statement of work that names its parent, carries its own sequence number, and re-states only what the change touches — scope, deliverables, acceptance, schedule and fees — leaving every other term as it was.
- What a master services agreement contains
A master services agreement carries the terms a provider and client intend to reuse across engagements — liability, intellectual property, confidentiality, payment and termination — while each statement of work signed under it names the scope, schedule and price for one project.
- The clauses a mutual NDA usually carries
Published mutual NDA forms number their clauses differently — eleven sections in Common Paper's, five in oneNDA's — so OctoDoc normalises them into one eighteen-slot inventory, whose seventh slot holds two separate periods: the term of the agreement and the term of confidentiality.
