A template is a starting point, not a finished document
Every clause that matters in a real dispute is the one somebody customised: the notice period, who pays for what, how the agreement ends, and which court hears a dispute. A generic template gets the structure and the legal language right, which saves hours — but the commercial terms are yours and no template can guess them. Read the draft once with a single question in mind: if this went wrong, does this document say who bears the loss?
Stamp duty and registration are separate from drafting
A well-drafted agreement on plain paper can still be worthless as evidence. Stamp duty is a state subject and the rate depends on the instrument and the state, and an insufficiently stamped document can be refused in evidence until the duty and penalty are paid. Registration is a separate requirement again — leases of a year or more, and most transfers of immovable property, must be registered. Draft first, then check what your state requires before signing.
Execution details decide whether the document holds
Sign every page, not just the last. Have the correct person sign — for a company that means an authorised signatory with a board resolution behind them, and for a partnership it means a partner with authority to bind the firm. Where witnesses are required, use two who are not parties and record their addresses. Keep an original for each side. A document signed by someone without authority binds nobody, and that defect cannot be cured after a dispute starts.
Where a template is the wrong tool
Use a drafted-from-scratch document when the money is large, when the relationship is long, or when the transaction is unusual — shareholder arrangements with tag-along and drag-along terms, technology licensing, anything involving foreign parties or exchange-control questions, and anything you intend to enforce abroad. The cost of an advocate reviewing a document before signature is almost always a small fraction of the cost of litigating an ambiguity in it.
Keep a copy trail from the beginning
Store the signed original somewhere retrievable, keep a scanned copy, and note the key dates — renewal, notice period, expiry — in a calendar the day you sign. Most disputes about contracts are really disputes about what was agreed and when notice was given. If you also need to respond to something, the notice decoder explains what an incoming notice is asking for before you draft a reply.
