Clerky has corporate paperwork covered, but what about commercial agreements? There's a perk for that 😎
Clerky startups can now get 50% off any paid plan with @UseCommonPaper for the first 3 months, plus unlimited access to their library of commercial agreement templates.
Here’s why startups are choosing Common Paper:
✅ Attorney-built templates — standard commercial agreements co-developed by 45 attorneys, already signed by 10,000+ companies
✅ AI-powered redlines — Gerri reviews edits against your rules and can approve, counter, or escalate automatically
✅ Fewer tools — integrated electronic signing and payments take you from template to signed agreement to invoice in one workspace
✅ Consistency across your team — save approved template versions, lock non-negotiable terms, and manage access by role
Common Paper is trusted by Figma, Mercury, Crossbeam, and more. Want to try it? Just go to Perks → Sales → Common Paper to get started.

Found this little gem.
@UseCommonPaper created a plain-language, standardized, structured agreement for buying and selling on-prem, downloadable, or on-prem software.
This agreement is free to use and modify under CC BY 4.0 and it's useful to anyone building and selling software.
It would be cool if software license agreements were more standardized and simplified like this.
