# Templates

> Twelve papers the door recognises, eighty-seven kinds described, and no download anywhere.

There are two different things on contracts.io wearing the word "template", and
the difference matters enough to lead with it.

## Twelve in the library

Twelve papers are in the library. Each one has a name people use, a title that
prints on the paper, and the aliases it answers to.

| What you would call it            | What prints on the paper          |
| --------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Services agreement                | Master Services Agreement         |
| Two-way confidentiality agreement | Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement   |
| One-way confidentiality agreement | One-Way Non-Disclosure Agreement  |
| Offer letter, California          | Offer of Employment               |
| Advisor agreement                 | Advisor Agreement                 |
| Health data agreement             | Business Associate Agreement      |
| Data handling agreement, US       | Data Processing Addendum (U.S.)   |
| Data handling agreement, global   | Data Processing Addendum (Global) |
| Website terms                     | Website Terms of Use              |
| Cookie notice                     | Cookie Notice                     |
| Privacy policy, US                | Privacy Policy (U.S.)             |
| Privacy policy, US and Europe     | Privacy Policy (Global)           |

Each of the twelve has a page at
[contracts.io/templates](https://contracts.io/templates) wearing **In the library**,
which prints its title and the aliases it answers to.

<Note>
  **The door does not offer you a paper by name.** It has no template row, no
  slash palette and no recogniser reading your sentence for a kind — that was
  taken off the door deliberately, because a page whose whole proposition is
  *just say it* does not need a row of category names telling you what you are
  allowed to say. The twelve are what the library holds, not what the field
  guesses.
</Note>

## Eighty-seven kinds described

The written catalogue is larger than the library, and it is honest about the
gap. **87 kinds** across twelve shelves:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Services" icon="briefcase">10 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Software" icon="code">10 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Commercial" icon="store">9 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Corporate" icon="building">9 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Legal ops" icon="folder">9 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Employment" icon="users">8 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Personal" icon="house">8 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Intellectual property" icon="lightbulb">6 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Confidentiality" icon="lock">5 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Property" icon="key">5 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Data" icon="database">4 kinds</Card>
  <Card title="Policies" icon="file-text">4 kinds</Card>
</CardGroup>

Each kind's page says what it is, who uses one, what you are deciding when you
make one, the sections such a contract typically has, the kinds related to it,
and three questions people ask. All of it is general and jurisdiction-neutral,
because a page that told you what your jurisdiction requires would be advice.

The **75 kinds outside the library** print the search terms they answer to and
then say plainly that the door does not match them yet. The catalogue is checked
against the door's own list at build time: if the twelve ever change and this
does not, the build fails rather than the page lying.

## "Start it at the door"

Every one of the 88 pages ends at the same place, and it is not a download.

<Card title="Start it at the door" icon="arrow-right" href="https://contracts.io" horizontal>
  Describe the contract you want in the field, in your own words. Lex drafts any
  kind you can describe, whether or not it is one of the twelve.
</Card>

There is no downloadable file anywhere on contracts.io, and no page claims one
exists. The twelve in the library are papers the product makes, not documents it
hands you; the other 75 are descriptions of a kind of contract, and the way you
get one is to say what you agreed.
