Contracts and e-signatures

Once a client accepts a proposal, you can generate an agreement from it. The scope section reproduces your proposal word for word — so the contract and the proposal cannot end up saying different things.

The agreement covers scope, fees, intellectual property, confidentiality and termination in plain language.

Your client opens a link, reads the full agreement on screen, types their name and ticks a box confirming they intend that name as their signature.

We record the name they typed, the exact time, their IP address, their device, and a fingerprint of the document as it stood at that moment. If the text is ever altered afterwards, that fingerprint no longer matches and we show it.

This is a simple electronic signature — the same class as the "type your name here" flows in common use. Many jurisdictions accept them for ordinary commercial agreements, and the record we keep is designed to be the evidence a dispute would ask for.

It is not a qualified electronic signature, and enforceability varies by country and by contract type. For anything substantial, take your own legal advice on what holds where you and your client are based.
