How MutualClause Works

From choosing a framework to a signed agreement in three clear steps. Every edition arrives as an editable DOCX and a print-ready PDF, selectable for all Canadian provinces within the document.

Three steps

From purchase to signed agreement.

i

Choose your framework

Pick the relationship type and the tier that matches how much structure you want.

ii

Download and define

Editable DOCX and print-ready PDF, instantly. Fill it in together, select your province, add custom terms.

iii

Agree and sign

Both initial each clause and sign with a witness. Each keeps a copy. Consult a lawyer before relying on it.

What you receive

Editable, print-ready, yours to keep.

  • An editable DOCX you can fill in together, add custom terms to, and adapt as your circumstances change.
  • A print-ready PDF for signing with a witness, so each party keeps a clean copy.
  • Province selection inside the document, so the same edition works across Canada.
  • A built-in review process, so the agreement can be revisited and amended whenever both parties agree.

Protection, never a weapon

An agreement can never silence the truth.

A relationship agreement protects privacy. It must never be used to hide harm. Every MutualClause template is built mutual, and built with carve-outs that cannot be removed.

Abuse is never confidential

Confidential information explicitly excludes abuse, harassment, threats, and degradation. Those are never covered.

You can always report a crime

Nothing in the agreement can prevent reporting illegal activity to police or authorities. The law overrides any clause that tries.

Carve-outs for support

You may always speak with therapists, doctors, lawyers, and trusted loved ones. Healing and safety come first.

Mutual by design

Both parties hold the same obligations. A one-sided agreement that creates a power imbalance is the opposite of what this is.

Never sign an agreement under duress. A reputable partner welcomes your questions and your own legal review and never pressures you. An agreement signed under pressure is often voidable. These agreements can never be used to hide abuse or illegal activity. To be a true safety net rather than a source of harm, the agreement must stay mutual and fair, and must keep its exceptions for therapeutic and medical support, so that confidentiality never causes secondary traumatization. Always have a licensed lawyer review the terms before signing.

MutualClause provides educational legal-information templates only. Nothing sold here is legal advice, and purchasing does not create a lawyer-client relationship. These templates do not facilitate or contract for any illegal activity; no intimate activity is implied or obligated by any provision, and consent may be withdrawn at any time. Consult a licensed lawyer in your province before executing any agreement.
