Please note that purchasing templates does not constitute legal advice and does not create a lawyer-client relationship between you and ND Legal Pty Ltd. The template was drafted for the Western Australian jurisdiction, although it can be used in other Australian States and in other countries if you choose to do so. If you have any questions as to state specific laws, you should seek independent legal advice. This template has not been tailored to your specific business. If you require a tailored document to be prepared for you, you should seek independent legal advice from a lawyer in your state or country. The reproduction, copying or provision of this template to third parties is strictly prohibited without authorisation from the seller, and is a breach of ND Legal's copyright and moral rights.
