When we begin working on a new project, we need to issue a contract, titled General Terms, and a Statement of Work. This happens before any project work begins. These agreements are normally issued by the project manager after receiving project approval from the collaborator.

The General Terms and Statement of Work template are located in Proton Drive via the following path:

Shared with me > Common Knowledge Shared Drive > Templates

• General Terms – when issuing this contract, you shouldn’t need to change anything about it. Just send it as is.
• Statement of Work template – this outlines the activities we’ve agreed to perform undertake as part of the project. It needs to be created on a per project basis, bespoke for each instance, by making a copy of the template. Move the duplicated Statement of Work from the Templates folder to its correct project folder.

Both the General Terms and the Statement of Work need need to be electronically signed by both us and the other party. We use DocuSeal for this.
