UD Smart Contract
ProFree during beta
Create a structured contract .uds — tamper-evident, with both party details, expiry, renewal clause, and signature placeholders ready for UD Signer.
This is not legal advice. Always consult a qualified solicitor or attorney before relying on any contract document.
Contract
Party A
Party B
The output .uds includes signature placeholders for both parties. Open it in UD Signer to apply cryptographic signatures.
Runs in your browser. No data sent to any server. Part of the Universal Document™ ecosystem.
How UD Smart Contract differs from DocuSign and Word templates
DocuSign captures signatures on flat PDFs. Word templates have no expiry enforcement. UD Smart Contract creates a machine-readable contract that knows when it expires.
DocuSign / Adobe Sign
Captures a signature image on a flat PDF. The contract has no machine-readable expiry, no auto-renewal tracking, and no structured party metadata. You can't query it for "all contracts expiring this month" without a separate database.
Word / Google Docs template
A document with blank fields. No structure, no expiry enforcement, no tamper evidence. Two parties can produce different "final" versions with no way to verify which is authoritative.
UD Smart Contract — expiry and renewal in metadata
Expiry date and auto-renewal clause are structured metadata fields — not just words in a paragraph. UD Reader surfaces expiry status immediately on open. Renewable contracts flag approaching renewal dates.
UD Smart Contract — signature-ready for UD Signer
The output .uds includes cryptographic signature placeholders for both parties. Open in UD Signer to apply tamper-evident signatures — no third-party platform required, no per-document charge.
