Start from a template
SOW, master services, NDA, or blank. Every template edits like plain prose.
E-sign in-browser
Clients sign by typing their name. IP, timestamp, and user-agent captured for audit.
Know where it stands
Draft, Awaiting signature, Signed, Executed — each contract has one clear status.
Fill variables, send the contract
Every template exposes a short form at the top: client, scope, dates, fee, payment schedule. The body updates live as you type.
Edit the body directly
Add clauses, strike paragraphs, change jurisdictions. Plain prose, no special syntax.
Preview the client view
See exactly what lands in the client's inbox before you hit Send.
Collect signatures without the friction
A hosted signing link that works on phones and laptops. No account, no password — just sign.
Countersignature when needed
You sign after the client. Contract moves to Executed only when both parties have signed.
Audit trail on every signing
IP address, user agent, and exact timestamp recorded automatically. Downloadable as part of the signed PDF.
Connected to the rest of your work
Contracts live on the client timeline next to invoices, time entries, and notes — full relationship context in one place.
Link to projects
Pair a contract with the invoices it produces so scope and billing stay in sync.
Archive when done
Executed contracts move to archive automatically after project close — findable later, out of the way today.

Frequently asked questions
Is the e-signature legally binding?
Yes. Docz captures typed name, IP, timestamp, and user-agent — sufficient evidence of intent under the US E-SIGN Act, EU eIDAS, and most common-law jurisdictions. Consult a lawyer for regulated-industry requirements.
Can I use my own contract template?
Absolutely. Start from Blank, paste your standard language, and save the variables you want auto-filled. Templates are yours to shape.
What happens after the client signs?
The contract is locked, status changes to Signed (or Executed if you countersign), and a PDF copy is emailed to both parties. It appears on the client timeline for easy retrieval.
Can I void a contract before signature?
Yes, while it's in Draft or Awaiting Signature. Once signed, the contract is immutable — you can mark it Terminated but not edit.
Do clients need an account to sign?
No. They click the emailed link, type their name, and sign. Zero friction for the people on the other side of your invoices.
