- If you have a written agreement with RapidWills to be an agent, e.g. an accountant, lawyer, adviser or other professional user, your provision of a RapidWills Will to your own client as part of your professional services is not, by itself, prohibited by this section, provided that you ensure your client complies with these Terms as if it was the customer of RapidWills and you do not use the document as a reusable template, precedent or competing product.
