You can see an example of all 3 of these at the bottom of my own web page that I purchased and customized from The Contract Shop. But NOTE, it is never okay to simply copy/paste these from another person’s website. Legally that is copyright infringement and you can actually be sued for this - this actually happened to a friend of mine but thankfully they did not pursue action once she removed it from her site. But boy, that’ll scare ya straight! 

 

Instead, make sure you purchase your own customizable and LEGAL templates ASAP to protect your business and make sure you are not breaking international laws (yes that is seriously a thing…) through The Contract Shop.
