About this template

When should you use it?
Use this letter when a client's payment term has expired and you need to provide a record of the unpaid debt before escalating to a debt collection agency or a Final Demand Letter.
Who it's for
- a business owner seeking to recover an unpaid balance from a client
- a credit control department issuing a first reminder for a specific invoice number
- a service provider notifying a customer that an invoice has passed its due date

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.
