      <SectionTitle>Terms and conditions templates</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>In a terms and conditions agreement, lots of data can be
		entered. To facilitate data entry, you can store default data in a terms and
		conditions template. A template is a default terms and conditions agreement,
		representing a business process, that has no business partner linked to it. The
		level of detail of the template data is user-definable. Based on this template,
		you can quickly generate new terms and conditions agreements for business
		partners.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>Terms and conditions templates also allow you to do the
		  following:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Simultaneously update multiple existing terms and conditions
		  agreements derived from a specific template.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Validate whether the generated terms and conditions agreements
		  meet the business process represented by the template.</ListItem>
