Internal summary of how Lawstream uses this contract basis in engagements.

Category Contracts · Services · SMEs
Format Word (DOCX) · Clause bank references
Jurisdiction Uganda law – designed for local SME engagements

Typical Use Cases

  • SME providing recurring services (IT, marketing, consulting, training) to corporate client.
  • Formalising scope, deliverables and payment terms after a “handshake” arrangement.
  • Regularising existing relationships where work already started without a proper contract.

Key Clauses / Customisation Points

  • Scope of services and deliverables schedule (attach as Annex).
  • Payment terms (advance, milestones, retention) and late payment interest.
  • Liability and indemnity balance suitable for SME size and risk appetite.
  • Termination notice vs. immediate termination for breach/non-payment.

Connected Lawstream Modules

  • Contracts Management – link contract summary and renewal dates to register.
  • Tasks & Workflows – generate review and approval tasks for internal teams.
  • Obligations & Checklists – add key client deliverables as compliance items.

Internal Notes (Example)

  • Highlight data protection clause when client processes personal data on behalf of customers.
  • Flag cross-border elements for additional review where services extend outside Uganda.

Upload & Versioning (Concept)

How Lawstream might handle firm-specific templates and versions.

Upload firm templates
Upload DOCX, XLSX or PDF documents, tag them by category and restrict internal access where needed.
Version tagging
Mark templates as “Draft”, “Approved”, “For review” and keep a short changelog for each update.
