Signing Order Built for Every Agreement Type
From real estate to lending, Inkfree enforces the exact signing sequence each agreement type requires.
Real Estate Transactions
Buyer signs the offer first, then the seller countersigns. The sequence of acceptance is clearly documented with timestamps for both signing events.
Employment Contracts
Candidate signs to acknowledge the offer, then the HR director countersigns to confirm organizational acceptance. A clear sequenced record shows the employee committed before the employer countersigned.
Legal Agreements
Solicitor reviews and signs the cover letter, client signs the main agreement, counterparty signs last. Every stage is precisely controlled, documented, and logged to a court-admissible audit trail.
Supplier and Vendor Agreements
Supplier signs first to confirm acceptance of terms, then the procurement manager countersigns to confirm organizational commitment. The supplier's agreement is secured before the buying organization commits.
Finance and Loan Documents
Applicant signs, then the guarantor signs, then the lender countersigns. A precisely ordered, fully auditable loan execution record reflects the correct legal sequence of commitments.
