Questions

Quick answers

Something else on your mind? Send us a note and one of us will reply within one business day.
Is this legal advice?
No. It's a template written for Australian hair and makeup artists, and it refers to the Australian Consumer Law. Once you've made it yours, have a lawyer check it complies with the laws where you work.
I'm not in Australia. Can I still use it?
You can start from it, but a few parts refer to Australian law, so have a local lawyer adapt it to the laws where you work.
What do I get when I buy?
A download link straight after checkout, to a short guide and the contract as a PDF. Edit it in Word or Google Docs. The notes on the key sections show as comments in a PDF reader like Acrobat.
Do I need Dubsado?
No. Use it with any booking system or signing tool, or send it on its own.
Can I get a refund?
Because it's a digital download, we can't offer refunds for change of mind. If something isn't working, let us know and we'll help.
Can I share it?
It's licensed for use in your business only, so please don't share or resell it.
