And I also wanted you to know that there are so many templates that Amira has, all of which allows you to customize whatever documents and legal policies you need while being compliant in anything from GDPR to CCPA and much more to include an Independent Contractor Contract. However, if you do not find what you need, she can also customize a contract for you.

The Starter Legal Bundle is what I started with and has the Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and Terms and Conditions templates for your website. These are perfect for any creative and handmade entrepreneur to ensure that anyone visiting your website to purchase a product (regardless of whether it is physical or digital) will know what information is collected on them as well as what you do with the information. There are also 9 special bonuses worth a LOT (over $1,000!!!) that you will get for free with the bundle. It also helps you stay both GDPR and CCPA compliant as well (a huge thing if you’re working with international clients).

The Premium Legal Bundle has everything from the Starter Legal Bundle as well as a sponsored posts contract, freelance contract, and a guest blogger agreement as well as 13 special bonuses (work over $1,500 for free with the bundle)! The Freelance Contract is perfect for if you are doing wholesales or working with a company who is buying a lot of your product or you are making a custom product for them. It helps protect you in case they decide to go back on their deal or change their order at the last minute, etc. Sponsored posts contract and guest blogger agreements are more for if you are also blogging while creating handmade products but can also be used for if you are doing a sponsored posts on using a company’s equipment or yarn or other products. Anytime you do a sponsored post or have a guest blogger on your website, you can create a custom contract/agreement for them/that specific situation within 15-30 minutes depending upon how detailed you are.

The VIP Legal Bundle includes everything from both the Starter and Premium Legal Bundle as well as 10 more templates to include a Media Release Agreement (I am starting to use this a lot now), Confidentiality Agreement, Affiliate Agreement, Coaching Agreement, Giveaway/Sweepstakes, Consulting Agreement, LLC Operating Agreement, Design Service Agreement, Website Sale Agreement, Partnership Agreement and 16 bonuses worth over $2,000 for free with the bundle.

1 - The Starter Legal Bundle is an awesome essential starting place for all businesses, especially those that are doing their business digitally - buying and selling etc. It allows you to be legal globally as the templates account for both GDPR and CCPA requirements. They also ensure people know what data you collect on your website (especially when you have to collect personal information to send them the product after they purchase it) and what you do with it.

2 - For anyone doing a Sweepstakes/Giveaway it’s always good to be covered legally no matter how small or large the giveaway/sweepstakes is. This Sweepstakes/Giveaway Legal Template is all that is needed to make your giveaway/sweepstake legal and compliant with all FTC and FCC rules and regulations.

3 - There are some things within your business that you may have copyrighted or if you have an ebook (or printed book) you’ll need to protect yourself legally with a Copyright and Disclaimer Template. This could even be if you have created specific dyes for dyeing yarn or methods of sculpting or weaving, etc that no one else has done. If they are copyrighted, you need to make sure you are protected.

4 - If you are collaborating or partnering with someone, especially if there is the possibility of trade secrets being involved or confidential business information, you’ll want to have a Confidentiality Agreement (NDA Template) for your business and potentially a Partnership Agreement as well.. This could include a collaboration with a fellow creative artist where you are each doing one piece of the collaboration or working from the beginning to put a piece together and the way one of you creates their part will need to be disclosed to the other in order to fully collaborate - this template is a must before the full collaboration is done to ensure both parties protection. If you have to discuss proprietary information to include how you create a part or the whole of your product, you’ll want to ensure someone cannot take that information and use it to compete with you as well as potentially cost you much of your business.

5 - Do you have a membership site? If so, you need to have a Membership Agreement Template for your members to cover everything that you would need to include but not limited to membership fee(s), refund policies, ownership of intellectual property and so much more! If I ever decide to create a membership site, this is a must for it :). I honestly would have this even if the membership site is free. You want to ensure your intellectual property is covered and that members know what they can and cannot do on the site as well as what they can/cannot do with the information and documents/products they have access to in the membership site.

6 - If you have an affiliate program (as I do), you’ll need the Affiliate Agreement Template as this shows your affiliates what is expected of them as well as what you are giving them to include financial and support as well. It also allows you to protect yourself from any legal mistakes your affiliate may make and shows them what they can or cannot do in promoting your products.

7 - LLC Operating Agreement Tempalte shows that you have a business/LLC assets that are separate from your personal assets and if something comes up regarding any legal disputes, you have this already and can use it with the courts. It also prevents you from being held personally responsible for business issues in any lawsuits.
