1. Platform Role & Limitation Boundary
SignCollab ("SignCollab") is an independent technology proof-layer platform that facilitates agreement drafting, electronic signature collection, OTP identity validation, and cryptographic record-keeping of bilateral commercial contracts between creators, brands, and agencies.
SignCollab is not a party to any contract created on the platform, does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice, does not act as an escrow agent, does not hold or disburse campaign funds, and does not guarantee the enforceability, performance, or financial solvency of any counterparty.
2. Nature of Electronic Signatures & 27-Jurisdiction Legal Framework
Signatures executed on SignCollab are electronic signatures supported by tamper-evident audit certificates (including verified 6-digit email OTP verification, SHA-256 document checksums, microsecond UTC timestamps, IP addresses, and device fingerprints) pursuant to electronic transaction laws across 27 supported global jurisdictions:
SignCollab signatures do not constitute qualified digital certificates issued by a government-accredited Certification Authority. Parties remain responsible for ensuring their specific contracts comply with local statutory notarization or deed requirements.
3. Guest Mode & 24-Hour Rate Limits
SignCollab permits guest users to create up to 2 free, bilaterally signed contracts per 24 hours per verified email address without mandatory account registration. Rate limits are monitored in real time. Attempting to bypass limits via temporary or throwaway email addresses may result in automated IP or domain throttling.
4. Accuracy of Information & User Responsibilities
Users are solely responsible for inputting accurate party names, corporate designations, tax IDs (EIN, VAT, TRN, NTN, GSTIN, RFC), CNIC/national identity numbers, deliverable counts, payment deadlines, bank account IBANs, and usage licensing rights. SignCollab does not independently verify the accuracy of party declarations.
5. 48-Hour Deemed Approval Protocol
Where selected in the contract terms, if a brand or client counterparty fails to provide written review or rejection of a creator's submitted deliverable draft within 48 hours of transmission, the deliverable is automatically deemed approved. This protocol is designed to prevent unreasonable payment delays and scope withholding.
6. Bilateral Safeguards & Penalty Clauses
Contracts generated on SignCollab may include custom bilateral penalty terms, such as late payment fees (% per day), late content delivery penalties, non-delivery cutoff windows, pre-delivery cancellation fees, and category exclusivity rules. Enforcing these provisions remains a bilateral matter between the contracting signatories.
7. Privacy, Data Protection & On-Device Verification
We collect personal data required for contract creation and identity verification (names, emails, phone numbers, job titles, IP addresses, user-agent strings, and tax/government IDs). Data is retained securely to generate contract PDF certificates and audit logs.
Document verification at /verify computes SHA-256 hashes locally in your web browser using Web Crypto APIs. Your PDF document content is not uploaded over the network during hash checking. SignCollab does not sell user data to third parties.
8. Commercial Terms & Future Fees
SignCollab is currently free during the pilot testing phase. We reserve the right to introduce premium plans, subscription tiers, or per-agreement creation fees in the future, with reasonable advance notice provided before any commercial charges take effect.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SignCollab and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, lost profits, counterparty defaults, or campaign failures. SignCollab's total aggregate liability for any claims relating to platform access shall not exceed the total fees paid by the user to SignCollab in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or PKR 1,000 / USD $10 equivalent, whichever is lower.
10. Disputes Between Contracting Parties
Any dispute regarding campaign deliverables, payment defaults, usage rights violations, or contract breach is strictly between the executing contracting parties. SignCollab is under no obligation to intervene, mediate, arbitrate, or enforce performance under agreements generated on the platform.
11. Eligibility & Signing Authority
By accessing SignCollab or signing an agreement, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and hold full legal capacity and authority to bind yourself or the corporate entity you represent to the terms of the contract.
