Wardline Sign

Signing an agreement with Wardline

If Wardline has sent you an agreement, such as a non-disclosure agreement, you'll sign it with Wardline Sign. This page explains how signing works and how you can check the signed agreement yourself, without having to trust us.

How signing works

1. Open the link in the email from Wardline. Each link is personal to you and to one agreement.
2. Enter the code we email to the same address. This confirms the link reached you.
3. Agree to sign electronically. You can ask for a paper copy instead, and you can withdraw before you sign.
4. Add your details, such as your address and title.
5. Read the agreement with everything filled in. You can download or print it before you sign.
6. Sign or decline. To sign, type your full name and confirm. You can decline instead, with an optional reason.

What you receive

When both sides have signed, you're emailed the signed agreement as a PDF. Its last page is a completion certificate: the timeline of every step, the fingerprints (hashes) of the agreement and the PDF, and independent timestamps.

Check it yourself

Every step is added to a permanent, linked record that's also written to storage nobody can edit or delete, including us. The record is timestamped by two independent timestamp services, which sign a fingerprint of it. That proves the record existed, unchanged, at that time.

The certificate explains how to verify the timestamps yourself with the free openssl tool, for example:

openssl ts -verify -data record.json -in timestamp.tsr -CAfile tsa-chain.pem

You don't need an account, and you don't need to contact us.

Your information

We use your details only for the agreement you're signing. A privacy notice for signers will be published here before Wardline Sign is used for real agreements.
