Using Sample Contracts

Based on the information from your personal and contractor profiles, contracts such as NDAs and contractor agreements can be created automatically in a matter of clicks. The document will include standardised details such as the page number, date/time, file name, company, and contractor information.
It will appear in the correct position on every page. You can also apply modifications to the sample to personalise your contracts.

This article will cover:

• NDA and contractor agreement definitions

• Personalizing sample contracts

• Sample contract variables

• Sending a contract to your partner(s)

NDA stands for Non-Disclosure Agreement and implies that the parties signing the contract will not disclose any confidential information obtained from the contractual relationship. Lano NDAs are compliant with labor laws and available in English and German.

Under the Contractor Agreement, the client is obliged to pay the independent contractor for performing certain services. At Lano, we currently offer English and German versions of the Contractor Agreement (or Dienstleistungsvereinbarung) based on the German labor law and an English sample contract that complies with standard labor laws.

In case you need to add certain points to the contract, modifications are possible by duplicating a sample contract.

Step 1: Select Settings > Team in the menu.

Step 2: Click on Contracts to see a list of sample contracts. Use the duplication option on the right side to edit the contract.

Step 3: From there, you will be able to apply modifications to the contract, delete or add the necessary clauses or change the variables.

Step 4: Click on "create" in the bottom left corner to validate the changes and save the contract template.
