The Model Contract Template is a five-page document for locking in a shoot before it happens. It covers the shoot day, usage license, overtime, a fee table with a computed total, and a signature page ready for both sides.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, set the day rate and license, and confirm the shoot logistics. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, shoot date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, fee row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I extend the usage license? Yes — add a new fee row for the extension period and update the total.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
