|

|

| |
|

|
| |
|
The notes shall be placed after the end of the Document. |
| |
|
Notes shall be in two sets: first, those entitled "General notes", shall be consecutively numbered and refer to matters which apply to the Document generally. Second, those entitled "Paragraph specific notes" shall be number in accordance with the paragraph number to which they refer. See example notes. |
|
| |
| The following matters are regarded as preferred, but are not essential |
|
| |
|
Except in Documents for jurisdictions where it is common usage, comprehensive lists of words with similar meaning must be avoided in favour of a generic word. |
| |
|
The word “paragraph”
shall be used in preference to the
word “clause”. |
| |
|
Every main paragraph shall have a short heading. |
| |
|
Where words or paragraphs are provided in the alternative, for selection by the user, and where text or data is to be inserted, then such text, and the words either side of the insertion point, shall be coloured blue. If so coloured blue, there shall be a general note explaining the reason for the blue colouring and suggesting it should be changed to black before the document is used.. |
| |
|
Wherever possible, all variable data shall be placed on the first page. This helps to avoid a situation where the user fails to enter or edit data which may be critical to the document. |
|
| |
| and after you have submitted your document . . . |

We will check non-legal aspects and let you know if changes are required;
We will draw your doc intro page, add tech stuff and optimise it;
Your document will be published within 48 hours;
The support team will email to you the URP of the doc intro page.
We will provide a URL for your page and a reference for your document.
The Net Lawman sales route takes each buyer to a page where details of the document are set out. By the time a customer reaches this page, he knows what he wants and thinks he may have found it. The page test is therefore designed to provide re-assurance and facts rather than "a hard sell". We refer to this as a "doc intro" page. A lawyer from our team will prepare that intro for your document also using the info you provide as short description of the document at document entry page. He could contact you through email also if further help required from you. Then finally the document will be published at Net Lawman and will be in front of three thousands daily visitors of Net Lawman.
