About this document
This document is our comprehensive unincorporated association agreement in its simplest form. That is, there are no provisions for property and no provisions for an alcohol license. It is an all-embracing agreement suitable for any type of association and will be suitable in almost every situation.
Of course some unincorporated associations may wish to hold property and or an alcohol license. If this describes your situation, choose one of our other documents.
We have templates for specific types of unincorporated association coming soon. If your venture has standard, logical, common place rules and procedures, this document will be suitable. Similarly, if you have extraordinarily unusual rules and procedures, you will benefit most by buying this document and amending it to fit.
