Partial consent
is a feature,
not an error.
TheTerms models agreements as structured data. Signers accept or reject each clause independently — your operations keep running even when one term is declined.
Early beta — expect rough edges. Tell us what broke or what you'd pay
Operations continue — optional clause declined, deal proceeds
Consent isn't binary
Most e-signature tools treat an agreement as one indivisible yes/no decision. Real agreements aren't — and forcing signers into that shape loses information you actually need.
All-or-nothing is the wrong default
A single "I agree" checkbox forces signers to accept marketing consent, data sharing, and liability terms as one bundled decision — or reject the whole agreement.
Clauses are addressable, not buried
TheTerms models every document as a set of individually addressable clauses, so required and optional terms are distinguishable from the start — not flattened into one PDF.
Partial consent is a real, tracked state
Signers accept or reject each clause on its own. Every decision is captured individually, so you know exactly which terms someone agreed to — not just that they clicked once.
Built for structured agreements
Unlike traditional e-signature tools, TheTerms models documents as structured data with individually addressable clauses.
Structured Documents
Organise policies into containers, documents, and individually addressable clauses. No more monolithic PDFs.
Granular Acceptance
Signers accept or reject each clause independently. Know exactly which terms people agree to.
Team Management
Multi-tenant organisations with Owner, Admin, Editor, and Viewer roles. Invite members via email.
API-First
A full REST API with OpenAPI documentation. Automate document creation, signing, and clause-level status from your own systems.
How it works
Three steps from document to signed agreement.
Create
Build documents with structured clauses using the rich text editor. Organise them into containers and publish when ready.
Invite
Send signing invitations by email — one at a time or hundreds via CSV import. Each signer receives a unique secure link.
Sign
Signers review and accept or reject each clause individually. No account required. Full audit trail captured automatically.
