Job description

Project Overview
We have a near-complete draft of a Channel Partner Agreement for promoting house-and-land packages in New South Wales, Australia.

The document is provided in plain text / Word format with correct content, but it needs professional formatting, structure enhancements, and alignment with our corporate style guide to make it look like a ready-to-execute formal contract.

Scope of Work
Please reformat the entire attached document ("Channel Partner Agreement ") into a clean, professional Microsoft Word contract with the following improvements:

Cover Page

Include a professional cover / title page with:

Full agreement title:
"Channel Partner Agreement"

Date: 19 February 2026

Parties:
Eternal Real Estate Pty Ltd ACN trading as Eternal Homes Projects (with full address)
[Channel Partner] – placeholder for full legal name, ACN/ABN, and address

Table of Contents
Automatic / clickable TOC listing all clauses, subclauses, recitals, and schedules
Include page numbers (update once formatted)
Format headings and TOC per corporate style guide (e.g., font, spacing, leader dots)

Overall Formatting & Layout – Guided by Corporate Style Guide

Follow our corporate style guide (attached) for:
Primary font family and sizes
Line spacing (e.g., 1.15 or 1.5)
Margins (e.g., 2.5 cm all sides or custom)
Alignment (left or justified)
Heading styles (e.g., bold, all caps, numbering format like 1. / 1.1 / (a) / (i))
Colour usage (corporate colours for headings/accents)

Headers/footers:
include agreement title/short form, page number (e.g., "Page x of y"), "Confidential", logo/watermark

Ensure consistent indentation, bullet/numbered lists, and defined-term formatting (e.g., bold or initial caps on first use)
Use Australian English spelling and conventions throughout

Schedules & Placeholders
Add Schedule 1 (referenced in clause 1.1 for default Fee amount/structure when no Sale-Specific Agreement exists) – create a simple table or placeholder section at the end

Example:
Schedule 1 – Default Fee Structure
[Insert table with columns for Fee %, Trigger/Milestone, Amount – use placeholders if content not final; format table borders/shading per style guide]
Ensure all placeholders (e.g., [Insert full legal name...], [12] months, email/postal addresses) are clearly marked, neatly aligned, and styled consistently

General Cleanup
Fix any omitted standard interpretation rules (clause 1.2 notes they are omitted for brevity – either insert typical Australian boilerplate or leave a placeholder note)
Ensure cross-references are accurate and auto-linked where possible
Check consistent capitalisation of defined terms
Add signature / execution blocks at the end (for both parties, with space for: execution date, printed names, signatures, witness lines if required; format per style guide – e.g., no deed indicators unless specified)

Deliverables
Clean, formatted Microsoft Word (.docx) file fully compliant with the corporate style guide
PDF version for review (with bookmarks/TOC links if applicable)

Brief note listing:
any assumptions made, deviations from the style guide (if unavoidable), and suggestions for improvement (e.g., missing Schedule 1 details or style guide clarifications needed)

Requirements for Freelancer
Proven experience formatting commercial / legal contracts (real estate, channel partner, or B2B preferred)
Strong attention to detail and ability to strictly adhere to a provided corporate style guide

Expertise in Microsoft Word:
styles, TOC generation, headers/footers, tables, auto-numbering/cross-referencing
Australian English spelling and legal document conventions
