What are Heads of Terms?

Heads of Terms is a non-binding document that outlines the key commercial terms agreed in principle between parties before full legal contracts are drafted.

Heads of Terms Meaning

The heads of terms mean centres on early-stage alignment. To define heads of terms in practice, it summarises the core deal points such as valuation, investment amount, share class, investor rights, timelines and any key conditions. A clear heads of terms definition helps both sides confirm that they are aligned on the main commercial structure before committing time and cost to detailed legal documentation. While usually not legally binding, certain clauses, such as confidentiality or exclusivity, may still have legal force. Heads of terms stand for clarity, speed and reduced risk of misunderstandings later in the deal.
