FAQ's regarding our Template Data Protection Policy

Our template Data Protection Policy sets out typically what we would regard as necessary for such an agreement, but allows for your edits and insertions throughout.

The template is delivered to you in Word document format and is fully editable by you.

Our unique table at the start of the agreement will allow you to customise the Services Agreement to your needs.

Among others, the template Services Agreement contains clauses related to the following:

  • What services are to be provided;
  • What is the process to follow if these services, fees or delivery times were to change mid-contract;
  • During what times will the  services be provided (if applicable);
  • The start date and end date of the agreement (if applicable);
  • If a deposit is payable (if applicable);
  • What are the fees payable, and how they will be paid;
  • Provisions to ensure that any intellectual property created will remain yours;
  • The process and notice period to end the agreement (if applicable);
  • Confidentiality provisions;
  • Provisions preventing the client from “poaching” your staff;
  • Limitation of your liability and indemnifying yourself and company from liability;
  • Breach and dispute provisions;
  • And alot more.

We would suggest that this only be used for company’s with 5 or less employees. Although suitable for larger organisations, our custom solution would always be a better fit.

The product entitled “Data Protection Policy (to be signed)” is simply a version of the policy for physical signature.
