Very easy to use and very well designed service. I would however have liked to get more info regarding the application of the documents before having to buy. The agreement I downloaded was for the sale of a sole prop to a PTY LTD company where the deal was not at arms length - but this only became clear after the doc was downloaded. The doc was ideal for the purpose but could have just as well have been the other way around and that would have been frustrating of note.
