Do not use several names or words to refer to the same person or thing as it could cause confusion and ambiguity by appearing to introduce new or different people or items.

Certain words were capitalized and defined already in this Agreement. For example, a member is called the "Member". Use the same predefined terms in your additional clauses.

Do not use pronouns such as: they, us, we, our, you, or me. Pronouns may be ambiguous and can cause confusion. e.g.:
  • Wrong: If a Member's ownership interest becomes available for sale, we have a right to first purchase:
  • Right: If a Member's ownership interest becomes available for sale, the remaining Members have a right to first purchase.
Do not abbreviate words.

Use numerals, not words, to denote amounts.

Try not to repeat or contradict what has already been stated in the Agreement.

Only put one paragraph per additional clause.

Order your additional clauses in a logical sequence.

Make sure your meaning is clear.

Signing Info



Frequently Asked Questions

Does my document need to be witnessed?Most documents and contracts do not require a witness for them to be legally valid. However, many banks and other institutions have their own internal policies about signing requirements, and may refuse to accept documents that are not witnessed regardless of whether they are legally correct.

If there is a posibility of misunderstandings in the future, or if you are concerned about bureaucratic hold-ups, it may be a good idea to have your document witnessed.
Who can be a witness?Generally, the person you choose to witness a document should have no financial or other interest in the agreement. A neutral third party is the best choice. A neutral third party is someone not related to either party and who does not benefit from the contract.

Ideally a witness will observe the parties signing the document and then the witness will sign the document as proof that they witnessed the parties signing. The witness is not usually required to know or understand the contents of the document.
