Contract house styles are separate modules, organised and maintained centrally, and used for generating contracts with a consistent look. Contract house styles address the layout of cover pages, contract headers and footers, styles to be included in the contract’s table of contents and other document generation settings. It is possible to configure multiple house styles per portal, for example to account for different types of documents or different BU’s of the company. A single house style can also be set up for use with various languages (greatly simplifying house style maintenance).
Part of the house style settings is the option to determine whether a party is referred to by its shortname or by a functional reference (e.g. Seller, Licensor, Purchaser). This functionality also makes it possible to use clauses from the library clause in different templates, for example in both a sales agreement (referring to Seller and Purchaser) and a licence agreement (referring to Licensor and Licensee).
