Signing a Document Through Electronic Signature

Guide for signers being sent a contract through ContractWorks

Summary

 

If you have been requested to review and sign a document using ContractWorks’ E-Signature tool, you will first receive an email notifying you that you have been requested for a signature. You can then click into the document, review the content, and fill in the appropriate fields before signing off, or declining to sign.

 

Instructions

 

Step 1: Open the email, which will come from sign@contractworks.com. The sender of the contract may have personalized a message, and we always include the originator’s contact information so you can email them directly. Do not reply directly from this email, please contact the sender with any questions.

Step 3: Accept the electronic signature disclosure. You are agreeing to the transaction through electronic communication. If you decline, a note will be sent to the originator that you do not consent to electronically sign the document.

  • Decline to sign: You do not wish to sign the contract. You will be prompted with a comment box for any notes you’d like to send the originator.
