>Customer I In this case customer will be Company, and you are the one providing services (Contractor). Choose wisely
I think there are some typos here and I'm not sure why I need to choose this option wisely.
Going through the questions, it looks like you are using "I" as a separator which is confusing.
>Do you want to include interest on late payments?
I think a discount for on time payments is better than charging interest. Interest makes it seem like the customer can delay payment if they feel like it.
>Should Contractor be able to remedy deficiencies in Services, if Company (you) does not accept them?
In question 1 the customer was the company and I was the contractor, but now they're swapped.
It sneaks in some terms I wouldn't agree to:
>all Work Product and other materials provided by or on behalf of Contractor will not contain any viruses, “Trojan horses” or other harmful code;
>Contractor would cause Company irreparable harm for which Company has no adequate remedies at law. Accordingly, Company is entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief for any such breach.
>require Contractor to pay the adjustment of $ Type in amount of reduction in fee, in case Contractor fails to comply with quality requirements for Services in USD I example: 500.
>keep copies of all books and records relating to Services during the term of this agreement and for three years thereafter. Company may upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours examine and make copies of all books and records relating to Services
When looking at the preview document I expected that at minimum I would be able to click on the green text and edit it. Ideally, I should be able to edit the whole document.
Sorry to say that I don't think I would use the service. It's a bit sloppy in places which isn't reassuring when generating legal documents. I don't think what it spat out was something that I would want to use. It seemed to be tilted in favor of the client where I'd rather send something in my favor/neutral and have them redline it if need be.
Plug: I offer an ironclad and very popular Master Services Agreement at https://msabundle.com along with other legal document templates. Similar set to what Axdraft has, but instead of being customizable via online wizard, I give you annotated source documents that you can fill out and edit to your heart's content.
Backstory: When I sold Hashrocket in 2011, I added a clause to the sale agreement that let me keep all the legal IP that I had developed over the years. A little bit after that I carefully prepared my well-honed MSA contract into a template bundle with different formats and annotations. Over the years I added more templates based on documents I've actually used in my businesses. It's a nice little passive income project.
Thank you for sharing this. Frankly, I don't think it is very good faith to sell your commercial templates on a launch thread of a product focused on free legal documents for startups, but users will make their choice.
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.

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.
