Create, send, and sign contracts in minutes.

A contract is a legally enforceable agreement that creates, defines, and governs mutual rights and obligations among its parties. A contract typically involves the transfer of goods, services, money, or a promise to transfer any of those at a future date. By creating a contract, you can explicitly define the working conditions with your client, providing clear terms to protect you from any problems that can happen at any moment during your working relationship. Contracts are crucial for freelancers to protect themselves and their business from things like scope creep, disputes, or even worse, a lawsuit.

Yes, contracts created with Indy include an e-signature block. Signatures can be added easily. Indy’s e-signatures make it a breeze to get the sign offs you need from clients, so that you can lock in the agreement quicker and get to work.

Managing your contracts online is really useful for a few reasons:

• Online contract management makes record-keeping much simpler because it helps you organize your contracts in one place and associate them with clients and projects. It helps you stay organized automatically without needing to do extra work, giving you time back to work on other things.
• Offering e-signatures to your clients improves the acceptance rate from clients and increases the speed at which they are signed and returned to you.
• The contract’s status is tracked automatically within the Indy app and can be reviewed at any time for peace of mind.
• Online contract software like Indy Contracts is built to help you create contracts faster than doing it manually. This makes it easier to manage multiple contracts and take on more clients, setting your business up for growth.

Indy provides three professional contract templates to cover the most important aspects of your business:

The Contractor project agreement helps you define the terms of service between you and another party. Whether you’re a photographer or a writer or any profession that requires a contract within a set project scope, you can customize it to fit your needs.

The Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) establishes a confidential relationship to protect intellectual property from being stolen or shared with competitors or other parties.

The Subcontractor agreement solidifies a business arrangement between you and a subcontractor you hire. Or, if you’re the subcontractor, between you and the primary contractor. It includes payment terms.
