Everything you need to know.
Yes. Consulting agreements signed electronically through Zignature are fully enforceable under the ESIGN Act and UETA in all 50 US states. Courts have consistently upheld electronic consulting contracts, and the Zignature Certificate of Completion provides the documentation needed to enforce payment and IP ownership terms.
Many consultants send a standalone NDA before sharing any sensitive information, then follow with a full consulting agreement. Zignature supports multi-document envelopes — you can bundle an NDA and consulting agreement into a single signing session where the client signs both in sequence.
Use Zignature to send a signed Change Order or engagement amendment when scope changes. The signed change order documents the new deliverables, timeline, and fee adjustment — preventing disputes about what was agreed when the project scope evolved.
Yes. Multi-party signing routes the agreement to each client signatory in sequence (e.g., department head → CFO → legal) or in parallel. You receive one notification when all parties have signed the final agreement.
Consulting agreements typically specify one of three IP arrangements: (1) work-for-hire (client owns all deliverables), (2) license (consultant retains ownership, client gets usage license), or (3) joint ownership with specified use rights. Zignature doesn't provide legal advice but can sign any IP clause you include in your agreement.
Zignature integrates with Stripe and other payment processors. Include a payment step in the signing workflow — clients sign the agreement and pay the retainer in one session. You receive both a signed contract and payment confirmation simultaneously.
Yes. For international engagements, Zignature supports eIDAS-compliant signatures for EU clients and includes English-language agreements recognized across most jurisdictions. The governing law clause in your agreement determines which legal system applies to disputes.
For ongoing retainer arrangements, create a renewal template and set a calendar reminder 30 days before the contract end date. Send the renewal for signature before the current term expires. Zignature stores signed renewals alongside the original engagement in your document library.
