This is a boilerplate template, not legal advice. Employment, consumer-protection, and business law in the United States vary significantly by state (and sometimes by city) — have this document reviewed and adapted by a licensed attorney in your state before use. Official government forms (Form I-9, Form W-4, Form W-9, Form 1099-NEC, etc.) are not included here and must be obtained directly from the IRS/USCIS in their official, unmodified form.
Documents that are usually drawn up in the same process.
Website/service terms of use combined with a refund and return policy — posting a clear return policy is required in a number of states if the store wants to deviate from the default.
Website/app privacy policy — de facto required for any business with a website, since California CalOPPA applies with no revenue threshold, plus 20+ state comprehensive privacy laws.
Chair/booth rental agreement for a salon or barbershop — the stylist rents a workstation as an independent tenant rather than working as an employee.
