Additional Term Form

Use a Additional Term template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What the Additional Term Form does

The Additional Term Form records supplemental terms, acknowledgments, or obligations that parties add to an underlying business transaction. Because no issuing agency, official field set, filing deadline, or statutory form code is identified for this name, the parties should confirm its purpose and governing agreement before signing. In signNow, a sender uploads the source document, reviews detected fillable fields, adds or assigns signature fields, and sends it to the required parties. Signers review the terms, demonstrate intent, and receive a completed copy with an audit trail.

Who uses the Additional Term Form

Business teams

Legal and operations teams use this form to document supplemental terms, approvals, acknowledgments, and changes attached to an underlying agreement. They should identify each signer, preserve the source version, and confirm whether consumer disclosure, notarization, or state-law formalities apply.

Regulated industries

Healthcare, finance, real estate, and construction organizations may use a supplemental form when their transaction requires additional consent or terms. Industry rules apply only when the underlying activity triggers them, such as HIPAA for protected health information.

Best practices for completing the form

Accuracy depends on preserving the source document, assigning each obligation clearly, and keeping evidence that connects the completed form to its signers.

Preserve the source form

Upload the source Additional Term Form without changing its wording, page order, or attached instructions. Confirm that every supplemental term is present before adding signNow fields, because field placement cannot correct an incomplete agreement.

Assign every required field

Map every signature, date, initials, and acknowledgment field to the person responsible for that action. Review role assignments before sending so one signer cannot accidentally complete another party’s obligations.

Capture electronic consent

Ask consumer signers for electronic-record consent when the transaction falls within 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Make the record accessible, explain paper-record rights, and retain evidence of consent with the completed form.

Archive the evidence

Export the signed Additional Term Form with its certificate of completion and audit trail. Store those records under the retention rule for the underlying transaction, with access limited to authorized personnel.

Retention periods depend on the record

The Additional Term Form has no standalone retention period; retain it with the underlying transaction and apply the governing federal or state rule.

01

3 years for tax records

The underlying agreement determines the retention period; no universal Additional Term Form rule applies.
02

6 years for substantial understatement

Retain when the form documents federal tax information under IRC §6501(a).
03

6 years for HIPAA records

Use six years when 25% or more income was understated under IRC §6501(a).
04

30 years for exposure records

Apply only when the form contains protected health information under 45 CFR §164.530(j).
05

7 years for audit records

Apply only when the form documents OSHA exposure information under 29 CFR §1910.1020.

Troubleshooting the Additional Term Form

Resolve form-specific issues by checking the source document, signer roles, consumer consent, legal exclusions, and the signNow plan limits that govern sending.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, mobile apps, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 Type II controls. Upload the Additional Term Form, confirm fields, and send it through the Business workflow.

Business Premium adds bulk send, kiosk mode, request payments, and quick invite links. Use it when the same Additional Term Form must be distributed to many recipients with controlled field assignments.

The Additional Term Form is not a government form with a known statutory field set in the supplied information. Confirm the underlying agreement, required fields, and applicable state law before relying on an electronic record.

For consumer-facing records, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c) requires disclosure of paper-record rights, electronic access, and consent-withdrawal procedures. Capture that consent separately when the transaction falls within ESIGN’s consumer provisions.

signNow is ESIGN- and UETA-compliant, but those laws do not cover wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, certain court filings, or specified family-law documents. Confirm that the Additional Term Form is not part of an excluded transaction.

Business Premium costs $15 per user per month when billed annually, while Enterprise costs $30. Paid plans include 100 signature invites per user each year; overage fees apply, so review volume before sending.
