Start with the document you need

Selling project work

Look for supported documents that record scope, milestones, acceptance and change control. Keep the signed version and approved changes with the project records.

Selling subscriptions or software

Clarify the service, pricing period, included usage, additional charges and renewal process. Where customers negotiate an order form, confirm how it relates to the main terms and any later amendment.

Buying services or software

Understand the supplier's charges, renewal dates, delivery obligations and exit process. Escalate provisions that need specialist legal review, including liability, data protection or unusual commercial commitments.

From signed terms to a billing question

  1. Review the signed terms

    Confirm scope, milestones, acceptance criteria and billing triggers.

  2. Check delivery evidence

    Verify that required acceptance has been recorded.

  3. Compare to billing record

    Identify gaps, partial invoices or changed scope.

  4. Assign an owner

    Give the question to the person who can act.

Five terms your team should be able to find

Five terms your team should be able to find
Term Practical question
Scope and deliverables What exactly has the customer bought?
Acceptance Who confirms delivery, and what evidence is required?
Billing trigger and payment date When may an invoice be issued, and when is payment due?
Changes and extras How is additional work agreed, priced and recorded?
Queries, renewal and exit Who handles a dispute, and what dates or notices need attention?

When the question needs a legal professional

A disputed clause, threatened claim, complex cross-border agreement or material liability issue may need a solicitor or another appropriately qualified professional.

Matter & Assurance: Early Access — synthetic-data walkthroughs only. It is distinct from a BI Assurance Case. A professional legal handoff requires accepted instructions, the relevant scope, permissions and agreed terms.

Telelegal supports consultations with independent professionals under their own responsibilities. Dogetlawyer provides the technology platform.

Legal AI with visible limits

Legal LLM/RAG: Research Programme — internal engineering; no customer use or published evaluation. Current products use external models and supported legal controls. Professionals retain responsibility for checking outputs.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Are these documents suitable throughout the UK?
Check the supported jurisdiction for the selected document. England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different legal systems. A UK audience label does not make a document suitable for every UK jurisdiction.
Will a template guarantee that a customer pays?
No. Clear terms can support the relationship and a later review, but payment depends on the facts, the agreement and the customer's circumstances.
Can the tool decide that we should claim late-payment interest?
The position needs checking against the contract, jurisdiction and facts. A BI flag does not authorise an interest charge, demand or legal proceeding. Use an appropriate review before taking those steps.
Do all agreements require a lawyer?
The right review depends on the agreement's significance and complexity. Supported document tools can help with preparation. Material, disputed or specialist issues should be directed to an appropriately qualified professional.
Is Matter & Assurance a mergers-and-acquisitions service?
Matter & Assurance: Early Access — synthetic-data walkthroughs only. This legal workflow does not include transactional acquisitions.
