Read the full prompt
Help prepare an educational contract-planning brief for [ARRANGEMENT], not a final legal document. Parties, location and agreed facts: [DETAILS]. Organize the scope, deliverables, schedule, payment facts, revision process, ownership questions, confidentiality needs and ending the arrangement. Mark unresolved points explicitly. Explain questions to take to a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction. Do not pretend to be a lawyer, choose governing law, invent enforceability claims or prescribe liability and dispute clauses without legal review.
Record the agreement before requesting clauses
Begin with who is involved, the work being exchanged and what has actually been agreed. This prompt helps organize a discussion. It does not determine whether a term is legally valid or suitable in your jurisdiction.
Example: a freelance illustration project
Use a fictional brief: “Three original website illustrations, two revision rounds and delivery on 15 November. Price and payment schedule are still being discussed. The client wants website use; merchandise rights have not been agreed.” Ask for a table of agreed facts, open questions and documents needed for review.
The output should flag rights, source files, cancellation and extra revisions as questions. It should not quietly assign worldwide ownership or invent late-payment penalties.
Check the scope carefully
Compare names, dates, deliverable formats and acceptance steps with the actual conversation. Remove any clause that introduces a promise neither party approved. Do not send the draft for signature simply because it sounds formal. Take the organized brief to an appropriately qualified lawyer for the relevant place and arrangement.
