How agreements and waivers work

Agreements let you send your own contract or waiver for an electronic signature. Creatures shows each signer the exact text, records when and how they signed, and keeps the signed copy for you.

What you can do

Send a sale contract or other agreement to the people who need to sign it. See Send an agreement for signature.
Ask guests to sign a waiver before they pay for a farm visit or other experience. See Require a waiver for your experiences.
Let drop-in visitors sign from a link or a printed QR sign. See Walk-in waiver links and QR signs.
Ask a buyer to sign before they pay an invoice.
Add your breeding contract to a stud offer, so the customer signs it before they accept your quote. See Create and manage agreement templates.
Put your paper waiver online. See Turn a paper waiver into an online signing form.

Each of these starts from a template: wording you write once and reuse. See Create and manage agreement templates.

Where agreements live

Open Dashboard, choose the Tools tab, then Agreements. On a phone, swipe the row of dashboard tabs to reach Tools.

The page has two lists.

Your agreement templates holds your reusable documents. Each one has Issue (to send it), Edit and Archive. Waivers that bookings can fill in also show Use for experiences and Walk-in links.

Issued agreements lists every copy sent from you or from an organization you own or co-own. That includes booking waivers, invoice agreements and agreements for stud breeding requests. Each card shows who it went to, the account that sent it, the date and its status.

Once you have more than five, a Find an agreement box lets you search by signer name or title. The list shows your 200 newest. Copies signed through a walk-in link are kept under that waiver's Walk-in links instead.

Before you send one

To create or send an agreement, you need a verified identity and a verified phone number that can get one-time codes. You don't need a payout account. If a step is missing, Creatures shows you what to finish first. See Verifying your identity and Verifying your phone number.

Signers don't need a Creatures account. Each person gets a private link by email, and the link works for 30 days. If it runs out before they sign, they can ask for a new one on the signing page.

What each status means

Awaiting signatures: no one has signed yet.
Partially signed: at least one person has signed, and someone still needs to.
Completed: everyone signed. The signed copy is locked, and it can't be voided.
Voided: the agreement is closed, and its signing links stop working. This happens when you void it or when a signer declines. A decline shows who declined and the reason they gave.
Replaced: a newer copy took its place, or the copy was closed. For a booking waiver, the guest changed their guest list before signing, or a waiver they signed before still covers the group. For a stud breeding request, the provider changed the quote, or the request ended before payment. That can happen even after the customer signed.

What Creatures provides

You write and own the text of every agreement. Creatures doesn't draft or review legal wording, and the Help Center is not legal advice. Ask a lawyer to look over your wording when you need to.

Sending or signing an agreement never charges anyone. An amount in the text is only words on the page. A booking or invoice payment is always a separate step.
