When a business sends you a contract through Aventide, you sign it online from a private signing link. The page calls it an agreement. You don't need an account, and it works on a phone or a computer.

Sign the agreement

  1. Open the signing link in the email you received.
  2. Enter the email address the agreement was sent to, then click Continue. If you opened the agreement from the business's client portal, you skip this step.
  3. Read the agreement. It's exactly the version the business sent, already signed by them.
  4. Under Sign this agreement, tick the box to agree to sign electronically.
  5. Type your full legal name and click Sign agreement.
  6. Click Download your signed copy (PDF) and keep it for your records. The business gets a copy too.

If the agreement includes a deposit, the confirmation tells you what happens next. The deposit invoice comes separately, so paying isn't part of signing.

Decline instead

Click Decline to sign, add a note if you like, then click Decline agreement. A decline is final. The business is told, and can send you a new version.

If the signing link won't open

  • That email doesn't match this agreement's signer: enter the address the agreement was sent to.
  • Too many attempts: wait a few minutes, then try again.
  • This signing link has expired: ask the business for a fresh link.
  • Signing link not found: the business may have sent you a newer link. Check your latest email.

If you've already signed, open the same link any time to see the agreement and download your signed copy.
