The agreement a general contractor signs with a specialty trade on a job: a 40-line scope decided one line at a time, 24 exclusions initialled at the pre-construction meeting, schedule and payment mechanics including a schedule of values and a payment application, a change-order form and log, an insurance section written so a certificate gets checked rather than filed, an indemnification page, a 26-line safety acknowledgement signed by somebody who will be on the site, and four lien-waiver templates. 1,089 fill-in blanks across 17 sections. It does not decide whether anybody is an employee or an independent contractor, because the agencies test the facts rather than the label, and it warns that several states mandate their own waiver form. It cites no regulation.

The rest of the set
Businesses like yours usually start with these. It is where a trade starts, not a complete legal inventory of everything it could ever be asked for — no list on any website is that. Every line below says where it came from.

Questions
A general contractor signing up a specialty trade on a job. It carries a 40-line scope decided one line at a time, 24 exclusions the subcontractor initials at the pre-construction meeting, a schedule of values and payment application, a change-order form and log, and a pre-construction meeting agenda. 1,089 fill-in blanks across 17 sections.
Section 7 is written to be checked rather than filed. It records who checked the certificate, what was missing, whether the endorsement itself was produced, the date the earliest policy expires and who diarises it, and what happens to payment if cover lapses. It states no limits and no policy wording, because those are set by your insurer and the contract above you.
The four waiver templates are a working shape, not a state-mandated form, and the document says so in capitals. Several states, including California, Texas and Florida, prescribe the wording of the waiver itself. Section 13.1 records whether your state mandates a form, its exact name, and who confirmed it is current.
No. Section 1.2 explains that the question is decided by the facts of the relationship, by agencies and courts, not by the sentence in the contract. The agreement records the question and leaves it to the facts.

Exclusions
Before you buy
When the law behind this agreement moves, or a clause keeps causing an argument, we rewrite it and the new version lands in your account. You do not pay again. That applies to everyone who buys, member or not, for as long as we sell this document.
The files are yours the moment payment clears, so we do not give money back just because you no longer want them. You agree to that in the box above the button before you pay, not afterwards in small print.
If a file is the wrong one, will not open, is missing pages, or does not match what this page says, that is on us and we correct it at no cost, member or not. A version fitted to your business is either included with membership or $49 on its own. That promise is the reason the no-refund rule is fair.
Want this agreement edited to match how your business actually works? A non-member buys one tailored edit for $49, no membership needed, and it comes back within 2 business days. A Simply Current membership is $30/month and every fitted edit is included — it wins on the second edit.
One more time, plainly: this is a blank agreement and it is scoped to no state. Every state-specific figure in it is left blank for you to fill from your own, and whether what you write in holds is decided by your state's law, often your city's. Check yours before you rely on it.
Simply Digital sells blank business documents. It is not a law firm, this is not legal advice, and nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship. Have a lawyer licensed in your state read the finished document once.
