Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before creating your document.

Is this Term Sheet legally binding?+

You can configure the Term Sheet as largely non-binding, with only confidentiality, exclusivity and governing law being binding, or as fully binding. The conditional clauses adapt the legal language based on your choice.

Does this template replace the Share Subscription Agreement and Shareholders’ Agreement?+

No. The Term Sheet is an outline of agreed principles. Definitive agreements such as the Share Subscription Agreement and Shareholders’ Agreement are still required to set out detailed rights, obligations and legal mechanics.

Can this Term Sheet be used for CCPS rounds under Indian company law?+

Yes. The template supports CCPS and can be aligned with Indian Companies Act, valuation and regulatory requirements, subject to legal and tax advice on pricing, rights and compliance.

How does the template handle anti-dilution protections?+

You can choose between broad-based or narrow-based weighted average, full ratchet or no anti-dilution. The selected option is referenced in the economics section and can be further detailed in the definitive shareholders’ agreement.

Can multiple investors sign the same Term Sheet?+

Yes. You can either use a single lead investor Term Sheet or adapt the signature block for multiple investors, ensuring that cap table, ownership and rights allocations reflect the full syndicate.
