Customizable contract templates for every business need

Every enforceable contract has three core parts: an offer, acceptance, and consideration. The offer is a clear proposal from one party. Acceptance means the other party agrees to those exact terms without modification. Consideration is what each side gives up, whether that's money, services, or a promise to do (or not do) something. Most jurisdictions also require capacity (both parties must be legally competent) and legality (the contract's purpose must be lawful). Without these elements, you don't have a binding contract in most US jurisdictions. A contract template already has the right structure for all five elements. You just fill in your specific terms.

Yes. Under the ESIGN Act and UETA (US) and eIDAS (EU), a written contract is legally binding once both parties sign it, on paper or electronically. What matters is mutual consent, clear terms, and proper execution. Electronic signatures carry the same legal weight as handwritten ones in most jurisdictions around the world. Chaindoc adds a blockchain audit trail to every signed contract, giving you an independently verifiable record of who signed what and when. That record can serve as evidence if the agreement is ever disputed.

Start with a service contract template that covers scope of work, payment terms, deadlines, and termination clauses. In Chaindoc, pick a template from the library, fill in the details (names, deliverables, amounts, timelines), add your counterparty's email, and send for signing. The whole process takes about five minutes. Once both sides sign, you get a blockchain-verified record automatically. No printing, scanning, or mailing. The signed contract is stored in your Chaindoc account and can be accessed or verified anytime.

A contract template is a pre-written document you customize manually. Change names, dates, specific terms, but the legal structure stays fixed. A contract generator asks you questions and builds the document dynamically based on your answers. Chaindoc combines both approaches: start from a professionally drafted template, then customize fields through a guided editor. You get more control over the final wording than a pure generator offers, and the result is a legally binding contract ready for e-signature with a blockchain-verified audit trail attached.

Yes. You can browse, customize, and sign contracts without a paid plan. The free tier includes access to all contract template categories — NDA, service, employment, vendor, lease, and more. It covers individual use, which is enough for freelancers and small businesses that sign a few contracts per month. Every free contract comes with blockchain verification and a document audit trail. Team features, bulk signing, API access, and advanced integrations require a paid plan. Check the pricing page for details.
