Lockout Agreement
A lockout (exclusivity) agreement for a property sale in India. In exchange for a token sum, the seller agrees not to negotiate with - or send draft contracts or title deeds to - any third party for a fixed period, giving the buyer an exclusive window to progress the purchase. The agreement is independent of the sale contract and does not bind either party to buy or sell.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
