Contracts formalize the agreement between you and your client. ReqMe makes it easy to generate contracts from accepted proposals and collect electronic signatures.
Creating a Contract #
After a client accepts your proposal, click Create Contract from the request detail page. ReqMe pulls information from the accepted proposal to pre-populate the contract.
Contract Sections #
ReqMe drafts the contract from the accepted proposal, so the sections you get depend on the work rather than a fixed template. You can add sections, rename them and reorder them before signing.
Two parts are fixed and not editable: the block naming both parties at the top, and the signature block at the end.
Adding Terms and Conditions #
Include standard terms to protect your business:
- Cancellation policy
- Revision limits
- Intellectual property rights
- Liability limitations
- Confidentiality clauses
You can keep wording you reuse as a template — Save as Template on a contract, and Load from Template on the next one. Templates apply when you choose them; nothing is added to a contract automatically.
Sending for Signature #
You sign first. Use Preview & Sign to read the contract through before signing, or Sign & Send to do both at once. Your client then receives an email with a secure link to review and sign electronically.
Electronic Signatures #
Clients sign directly in their browser—no printing or scanning required. ReqMe captures the signature, timestamp, and IP address for a complete audit trail. When signing completes, ReqMe emails you. The signed PDF, including its certificate page, stays on the request, where both you and your client can download it.
After Signing #
When the contract is fully executed, the request status updates automatically. You can now create invoices and begin work on the project.
