This is a very good template for a fixed-price software development engagement. The document is comprehensive and easy to understand. All sections are in a logical order. It worked very well for us.

The document was great: very clear and with appropriate options (particularly around the ownership of intellectual property). The guidance notes were helpful, but most importantly, the agreement is clearly and straightforwardly worded.
