Contracts

Write contracts from templates or with Ask Axis, review their clauses, get them e-signed with a sealed copy, and never miss a renewal or notice date.

Contracts is where your agreements are written, reviewed, signed and tracked. Start from a ready template or let Ask Axis draft one, check its clauses against Indian law, send it for e-signature, and keep every agreement — including ones signed on paper — in one register that reminds you before a notice date or an end date slips by.

The Contracts overview: active contracts, what needs attention and what is waiting for signatures

What you can do

  • Write a contract here — from a built-in template, your own templates, a blank page, or a draft Ask Axis writes for you. See Write a contract.
  • Review its clauses — Ask Axis flags one-sided, unenforceable or missing clauses and helps you fix them. See Review clauses.
  • Get it signed — signers sign in order with a one-time code sent to their email; you get a sealed signed copy with a certificate of completion. See Send for e-signature.
  • Keep the register — upload contracts signed elsewhere; their dates, renewal, notice and value are read from the document for you. Add tags and your own fields. See Register, renewals and reminders.
  • Know what is legally valid — what an e-signature here is and isn't under Indian law. See Legal validity in India.

Before you start

Roles have a Contracts app with these levels:

Level What it allows
Can view See contracts, their files, clause reviews and signing progress.
Can add & edit Everything above, plus adding contracts, writing drafts, uploading files, running clause reviews and managing templates and fields.
Full control Everything above, plus choosing signers, sending for signature, reminding and withdrawing.

Note: Contracts is an optional app. If you don't see it, the workspace owner can turn it on under Settings › Apps, and may first need to apply a workspace upgrade there.
