## What it is
A curated awesome-list of free legal documents and templates for companies, including site policies, customer, employee, consulting, advisor, investor, and founder agreements. It links to plain-language resources from sources like GitHub, Y Combinator, and Cooley, and is informational only, not legal advice.

## Use cases
- find free terms of service and privacy policy templates
- get a standard SAFE agreement for a seed round
- find an employee IP assignment agreement template
- locate consulting and advisor agreement forms
- find NDA templates for a startup
- compare plain-language legal document examples

## When to choose
- you need a starting-point template for common business legal documents
- you want to see how well-known companies publish their policies
- you prefer plain-language contracts and want curated examples

## When to avoid
- you need jurisdiction-specific legal advice or a reviewed contract
- you need documents for a highly regulated industry
- you expect executable software rather than a link list

- function: documentation
