For independent studios & boutique agencies
Papelito drafts the Master Services Agreement and every Statement of Work that hangs off it — clauses, jurisdictions, payment terms, IP assignment — in real legal English, ready to send. Your client signs the same kind of contract the big firms send, minus the eight-hour billable on the partner. One agency profile. Every client onboards in minutes.
The problem
You closed the deal on a call. Now you owe them an MSA, and a SOW, and an addendum for the second phase, and a fresh SOW for the redesign in November. Every one is a fork of the last one — manually patched, with the client name not-quite-replaced everywhere, and the warranty clause still saying “Bulgaria” on a Mexican project. The contract is the only artifact the client sees before they pay, and yours looks like it was written by a confused junior.
The other path is hiring a real lawyer at €300/hr to write the master once. That works until the SOWs start. The redline cycle returns. The template stops matching reality. Three projects later you're back in Google Docs.
How it works
01
Legal entity, registered address, signatory, VAT status, defaults for governing law and arbitration seat. Every future contract reads from this one record — change it once, every template updates.
02
Counterparty details, jurisdiction, payment terms, warranty length, IP assignment vs. license, optional source-code escrow and exclusivity. Papelito assembles the §1–§16 master agreement in clean legal prose — same shape big firms ship, none of the cut-and-paste fingerprints.
03
Scope bullets, payment milestones, timeline, team rates, acceptance criteria. SOWs inherit the parent MSA so the master terms govern automatically — and you don't re-negotiate liability caps every time.
04
DOCX or PDF, the client signs through the channel you already use. Papelito keeps the version history so the next renewal starts from the last accepted draft, not from scratch.
What you get
Every section — services scope, IP assignment, warranty period, liability cap, indemnification, governing law, arbitration — is written by lawyers, not by a template engine doing string replacement. The output is contract prose a partner could sign without redlining.
Statements of work attach to a parent master agreement. They inherit the cap, the arbitration seat, the IP terms, the notice address. You write the scope and the milestones; everything else governs itself. One MSA per client. Unlimited SOWs. Renewals start from the last signed version, not a blank page.
Bulgaria, Mexico, US-Delaware, UK, Spain, Germany, Netherlands. Switching governing law rewrites the dispute-resolution clause, the VAT language, the IP-assignment construction, and the notice form — not just the country name. Pick a jurisdiction in the dropdown; the document follows.
Export Word documents your client can review in Word, comment in Word, and send back as a tracked-changes Word file. Papelito reads the accepted draft back, diffs against your master, and offers the version-controlled accept-or-reject pass. PDF when the redlines are done.
Every draft is a stored version. Every send to a client is a snapshot. When they come back six months later wanting an extension, you start from their last-signed version, not from whatever you happen to have open. The renewal is a SOW, not a fresh negotiation.
“We were quoting a six-month engagement and our MSA still said the project would conclude in 2024. Papelito wrote the whole thing in twenty minutes. The client signed the next morning.”
“Our lawyer wrote our master five years ago. Every SOW since has been a worse fork of the last. Papelito is the first tool that actually understood SOWs hang off MSAs — that one thing alone is worth the subscription.”
Pricing
We charge per studio, not per seat or per contract. The first MSA pays for the year. Everything after that is upside.

Questions
Is the contract output actually legally sound?
The templates were drafted with practising commercial lawyers in Bulgaria and Mexico. They cover the §1–§16 sections of a standard services agreement — IP, warranty, indemnification, liability cap, dispute resolution, notices, assignment, force majeure. We're not your lawyer, and a one-off bespoke matter still wants a partner review. For the recurring agency-to-client commercial work the templates target, the output is real contract prose, not Mad Libs.
How is this different from PandaDoc, DocuSign, or Concord?
Those are signing surfaces. They assume you already have the contract. Papelito writes the contract — the MSA structure, the SOW hierarchy, the jurisdiction-specific clause set — then hands you the DOCX. Plug it into whatever signing tool your client expects.
Do I have to use your signing flow?
No. Export DOCX or PDF, sign through DocuSign / HelloSign / a printout / whatever your client uses. Papelito stores the signed version so the next renewal starts from a real document, not a fork of a fork.
What jurisdictions are supported?
At launch: Bulgaria, Mexico, United States (Delaware), United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Netherlands. The dispute-resolution, VAT, IP-assignment, and notice clauses change with the governing-law field — it's not just a label swap. More jurisdictions are added when there's demand from existing customers.
Can the templates be edited?
Yes. The MSA and SOW forms cover the variables that change per contract (payment terms, warranty months, liability cap multiplier, IP construction, optional clauses for escrow / extended warranty / exclusivity). The §-level prose is fixed by jurisdiction — that's the point — but you can attach your own addenda, and bespoke clauses go in a SOW override.
How do I get started?
Register, fill the agency profile once (legal entity, signatory, defaults), add a client, draft the MSA. Twenty minutes if you have your registration details handy. The trial covers a full client cycle end-to-end.
You closed the deal. They're waiting for the paperwork. You can either spend the afternoon forking a Google Doc, or you can spend twenty minutes in Papelito and send something that reads like it came from a real firm. The first MSA is free. Decide after.
