Send a contract
Pick a template, tailor the scope, add the client, and collect an e-signature — all inside Docz.me.
Contracts in Docz work like invoices: fill a form, preview the output, send a hosted link to the client. Signatures are collected in-browser; no DocuSign round-trip required.
Start from a template
From Contracts → New, pick a starter:
- Statement of work — most common for project-based freelancing
- Master services agreement — for ongoing client relationships
- NDA — before a paid engagement, to protect scope discussions
- Blank — if you are bringing your own clauses
Templates are editable. Nothing is locked.
Fill the variables
Every template exposes a short set of fields at the top:
- Client (picks from your client list or creates a new one)
- Project scope — a paragraph is enough
- Start date and end date
- Total fee or hourly rate
- Payment schedule (milestone vs. monthly vs. on delivery)
The contract body updates live as you change variables.
Edit the body directly
Below the variables is the full contract text. Edit anything — add clauses, strike paragraphs, change jurisdictions. This is plain prose; no special syntax.
Preview and send
Preview shows the client-facing hosted page. Send emails the client a signing link.
The contract enters Awaiting signature state. You can still void it, but the text becomes read-only.
Signing flow
Clients open the hosted link, type their full name, and click Sign. No account, no password. Docz records the IP, timestamp, and user agent for audit purposes.
You receive an email when they sign; the contract moves to Signed state and is locked.
Countersignature
If the contract requires your signature too, countersign from the contract page after the client signs. The contract is only considered Executed once both parties have signed.
