Standard terms, accepted by click

Agreements that
close themselves.

Pacts turns the standard terms you send every client — DPAs, NDAs, service terms — into a page they accept in one click. Minutes, not weeks. Nothing to redline. A record that holds up.

The insight

“Accept terms” is not “Sign.”

Same terms. A different reflex — because the experience says “standard”, not “negotiate”. Flip the switch: the same DPA, sent both ways — the day a client says yes, and the day the text changes.

You send the DPA to sign.

Week 3 — if it comes back at all.

Flow: great meeting, client’s ready → you send the DPA to sign → “Privacy? I can’t just sign this.” → forwarded to their lawyers → context calls → their redlines → your redlines → another round, repeated N rounds → week 3: a bespoke contract and a late start. The other ending: “We’ll sort the paperwork later” — work starts on no agreement at all.

What it feels like
A commitment — “I’d better clear this with legal.”
Who owns it
Legal, on both sides.
What happens to the text
Redlined by default — it’s a Word document.
Time to yes
Weeks.
What you end up with
A different contract for every client.

Your clients already do this every day: Meta, Google and TikTok Ads terms are accepted by click — millions in media spend, no signed contract. Does a click hold up? →

Keep the negotiated MSA — or any client-imposed paper — in DocuSign. Put everything standard on Pacts:

Your side

One board shows who’s done. One certificate proves it.

Pacts is organised around your clients, not envelopes: every client, which standard terms they’ve accepted, on which version — and who’s still pending. Publish a new version and everyone on the old text is flagged for re-acceptance — and emailed their link. Under GDPR that’s the rule, not a nicety: a changed DPA must be notified and approved, not just posted. Why posting the new version isn’t compliance →

Security & trust

  • All reads and writes go through the server; the browser has no direct database access.
  • Acceptance is written server-side — IP, device and version hash captured by Pacts, never self-reported.
  • Versions and acceptance records are append-only: no update or delete path exists.
  • One-time codes stored only as hashes — expiring, attempt-capped; public endpoints rate-limited.
  • Hosted on Vercel; records in Google Cloud Firestore (US); email via Resend. ESIGN / UETA-aligned.

Not yet: SOC 2 / ISO certification, EU data residency, SSO for senders. We say so when asked.

Your client said yes in the meeting. Pacts keeps it that way — with proof.
