Letter of Intent

Preamble and parties.In the creator you enter each party, pick which side you are, and choose the kind of deal—acquisition, investment, or commercial partnership—so the labels and purpose language match the conversation. Names the letter and each party. Choose your side and the deal type in the creator.

Purpose and proposed transaction.The purpose clause keeps this from reading like a closed deal. In the creator you describe the intended transaction in plain English and guided drafting turns it into LOI language. States that this is a letter of intent and summarizes what the parties intend to do. You write the summary in the creator.

Key commercial terms.Price, structure, or other commercial points belong here as a shared map for counsel. They are usually non-binding until a definitive agreement is signed; the binding-effect clause says which parts attach immediately. Lists the headline terms discussed so far. You type these in the creator.

Timing.In the creator you can name a target start and a deadline for signing the long-form agreement so exclusivity and talks do not drift without an end date. Sets a target start and how long the parties have to sign a definitive agreement. Both dates are set in the creator.

Confidentiality.You can include confidentiality in the LOI or incorporate an NDA you already signed by date. Confidentiality is one of the clauses that is often binding even when the deal terms are not. Either restates confidentiality here or points to an existing NDA. Choose the mode in the creator.

Binding effect.Courts look at language and context. This clause is where the template says the commercial outline is not a closed deal, while confidentiality, governing law, and any exclusivity you turn on are meant to bind immediately. Separates non-binding deal terms from duties that apply now, such as confidentiality and governing law.

Governing law.Governing law and venue decide which state’s rules apply and where a dispute must be filed, or whether it goes to arbitration instead. In the creator you pick a listed jurisdiction or enter another, then choose court or arbitration so the sample is not locked to a default state. Sets the state law that governs the letter of intent and where disputes must be brought. Choose the jurisdiction in the creator.

General. Covers assignment limits, waiver rules, severability, entire agreement language, notices, and counterpart or electronic-signature execution language.

Signature blocks. Authorized signatory and title lines for each party, ready for wet-ink or e-signature fields.
