Thank you for this feedback. This is really valuable. I believe the confusion started on the first question. After you choose it, you become a contractor in the agreement, not a customer, so many provisions are against you. We will probably delete this option to avoid confusion. We will also improve wordings and use of symbols to improve trustworthiness.

Regarding the editing, you should have received a final Word document with 100% ability to edit it. Preview is just to get a general sense of the document.

Regarding the discount on payments, thank you for the suggestion. We will add this option and we have specifically created a "suggestion" button on the website.

Thank you again for your feedback. It is very valuable! We will fix everything and let you know (if you want to).

This has left me even more confused. If I'm the contractor why would I want an agreement with many provisions against me? In that scenario I would want a contract neutral to in my favor. Something that will get me past my client's legal team while protecting me as much as possible.

Ah, I stopped at the preview point.

Thanks again for the feedback. We will split this document into two separate agreements.

I actually liked having the option to be a contractor in the MSA. I spent a lot of time piecing one together for myself for that purpose, and something like this would have gotten me there 90% faster.

Thank you for a different point of view.
