Looks great but, why forcing to use a state from USA? we have the company in the UK, so we can not use it? will be nice to give a try! thanks ;)

@deambulando The contracts they're using were most likely prepared by a lawyer in the United States to comply with U.S. law. I assume they need separate contracts for each country so as to comply with their local laws.

@automaticyes @openclassified that's correct, these were prepared only for the US for now, since we wanted to validate the need in a single market. However, it's not too complicated to modify these for other jurisdictions. We're looking into Canada and the UK next!

Awesome @mattbrown! Excited to give these a spin. Thanks for creating this. Regarding the design, reminds me a lot of Robinhood App.

looks interesting, @mattbrown. no mention of pricing anywhere on the website from what I could see. What is the pricing?

@theryanrobinson It's totally free to use the contracts and will always be. Our goal is to make those fairly standardized, so we don't think we should charge for that.
We're adding financial products like escrow (hellobonsai.com/escrow) which will help us monetize, but that'll be separate from the contracts. You can use contracts and escrow together for example, but you can use each independently.

@matttbrown awesome, I love that. Unless I glossed over it, you may be missing out on a big opportunity to highlight clearly that the contracts are totally free! That'd otherwise be a point of friction for me, not clearly grasping that it's all free. Love what you're doing.. I'm including you in a post tomorrow on CreativeLive as a great new app for freelancers.

I'd recommend that anyone considering this reads section B of the T.O.S. -- some of those sentences really make me nervous to use this product.

@selamefekili Thanks for the comment!
These terms are actually completely standard for any site that touches legal issues or content.
Check out the TOS of RocketLawyer (https://www.rocketlawyer.com/ter...) or LegalZoom (https://www.legalzoom.com/legal/...), two huge companies and pioneers in the field, and you'll find the exact same clauses there.
The fact is, nothing beats having a lawyer review every one of your contracts. However, that's simply not feasible for most freelancers. Our goal is then to provide something straightforward enough that will cover the majority of issues in the majority of cases.
