Send an agreement for signature
Select Issue on a template, add each person who needs to sign, and send it. Each signer gets a private signing link by email, and the agreement's page shows you who has signed.
Add the people who sign
- Open Dashboard, then Tools, then Agreements.
- Select Issue beside the template you want. You can also pick one under Template. The note below it explains that the text is locked once you send.
- For each signer, enter their full name and email. Then choose a role: Signer, Buyer, Seller, Customer, Provider or Witness.
- Select Add another signer for each extra person, up to five in all.
People can sign in any order. The agreement is completed once everyone has signed.
A waiver with guest questions or fill-in parts goes to one person per copy, so Add another signer is hidden. Send each person their own copy. If you switch to a different Template, the names you typed stay in place.
Add the animal and amount
Linked animal lists the animals you or your organizations own or co-own. Linking one fills in the animal's name, species and breed. It also lists the signed agreement on the animal's History tab. When the template uses animal details, the label says so, and you need to pick an animal or type its details.
Use Animal details (optional) to type something different. For example, type "Crossbred" for an animal with no breed on its profile, or add details for an animal that isn't on Creatures.
If the template has an amount, type it under Amount, such as $1,850. It shows in the agreement just as you type it. Creatures doesn't charge it.
Select Send for Signature. If a detail is missing, Creatures tells you what to add, such as "This template uses the animal's details."
Follow up on a sent agreement
After you send, the agreement's page opens. You can find it again any time under Issued agreements. While signatures are still out, you can:
- select Resend requests to email a fresh link to everyone who hasn't signed;
- select Copy signing link beside one person to copy a fresh link and share it another way; or
- select Void to close the agreement and stop every link.
A fresh link replaces that person's earlier one, so always send the newest link. Treat a copied link like a private document and send it only to that signer.
Each signer's row shows their status. Once someone signs, you see when they signed, their IP address and their device. If someone declines, the whole agreement is voided, and their row shows the reason they gave. Open Audit trail to see each step, such as when a link was emailed or opened.
Creatures lets you know when someone signs or declines, and again when everyone has signed.
Agreements for stud breeding requests go out with your quote, not with Issue. Their page shows Breeding request instead of Resend requests, Copy signing link and Void. Make changes from the breeding request. Changing the quote replaces the old copy.
When everyone has signed
The status changes to Completed, and Signed document and Download appear on the page. A completed agreement can't be changed or voided. If the terms change, send a new agreement. To get the final copy, see Find and download a signed agreement.
