We get this question from founders who believe “if it works in the US, it should work in India too, right?” 😅👇
👉 “Can I use a contract template from another country for my Indian startup or business deal?”

Answer: ⚠️ Technically yes, but legally... tread with caution!
Foreign contract templates may look professional, but they often miss key Indian legal provisions. What’s valid in Delaware might be a disaster in Delhi! 🛑

📌 Why Foreign Templates Might Fail in India:

🔹 Governing Law Clause Mismatch – “This Agreement shall be governed by California law”... uh-oh, you’re in Chennai! 😬
🔹 Missing Indian Acts References – No mention of Indian Contract Act, Specific Relief Act, etc.
🔹 Dispute Resolution Woes – Arbitration in London? You’ll burn more money than Netflix’s legal budget! 🎬💸
🔹 Stamp Duty + Registration – Completely overlooked in foreign templates
🔹 Jurisdiction Errors – Court jurisdiction may be irrelevant to Indian disputes

📍 Risk Radar 🚨:

❌ May be unenforceable in Indian courts
❌ Can create unintended liabilities or loopholes
❌ Invalid clauses may weaken your legal stance
❌ Foreign legalese ≠ Indian compliance!

💡 Pro Tip:
Use foreign templates only as references. For any serious contract — especially involving IP, money, or long-term obligations — always get it vetted and localised by an Indian legal expert.

😂 Imagine getting sued in New York over a client in Noida. That’s the kind of plot twist we don’t recommend!
