# Optional agreement outline

Use only the sections relevant to the transaction. Confirm include, omit, or defer decisions; do not invent negotiated terms. This outline is a drafting aid, not a completed agreement or jurisdiction-specific legal form.

1. **Title and parties:** legal names, capacities, date, and identifiers.
2. **Background:** context that helps interpret the bargain without hiding duties in recitals.
3. **Definitions:** necessary terms with scope and uses checked.
4. **Exchange and scope:** deliverables, assets, services, rights, and exclusions.
5. **Performance and acceptance:** actors, standards, dependencies, milestones, approval and inspection.
6. **Economics:** calculation base, rates, adjustments, invoicing, payment, records, and dispute process.
7. **Assurances:** factual statements, time, knowledge qualifications, and agreed consequences.
8. **Ongoing obligations:** cooperation, records, confidentiality, ownership, and restrictions if needed.
9. **Risk and remedies:** negotiated allocations, limitations, indemnity procedure, insurance, and default consequences.
10. **Term and exit:** duration, renewal, triggers, notice, cure, election, effective date, transition, and survival.
11. **General provisions:** only relevant notice, assignment, amendment, waiver, precedence, law, forum, and other provisions.
12. **Signatures and attachments:** authorized signers, capacity, execution method, schedules, and exhibits.

For each proposed section, record its purpose, evidence that it is needed, whose interests it affects, and the user's decision. Use the engine's `preview` output for alternative numbering and placement.
