Performed Under This Contract On Or Before

Use a Performed Under This Contract On Or Before template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this contract date means

Performed Under This Contract On Or Before is a contract field that identifies the latest date by which a specified obligation, service, delivery, or performance must occur. The phrase does not identify a standardized federal form or a single issuing agency. Its legal effect comes from the surrounding agreement, defined terms, governing law, and the parties’ evidence of performance. Upload the completed document to signNow, confirm the date and related terms, then route it for signatures. ESIGN and applicable state electronic-transactions law can support an electronic record when consent, intent, attribution, and reliable retention are established.

Documents requiring separate formalities

Notarization requirement

The contract may require notarization or witnesses under applicable state law.

Wills and testamentary trusts remain outside ESIGN’s electronic-record framework.

Court documents

Family law decrees and certain court filings may require separate procedures.

Recorded deeds

Real-estate deeds generally require notarized acknowledgment before recording.

Troubleshooting contract completion

Resolve field, signer, authentication, legal-scope, plan, and retention questions before treating the contract as fully executed.

Upload the original contract again and inspect whether the date field is a text box, a signature field, or flattened content. signNow’s editor lets you add or adjust fields before assigning the document to a signer.

Confirm that every required signer has an assigned field and that the signing order matches the agreement. The signNow Business plan includes templates and audit trails, helping preserve the routing history for the executed contract.

Use signNow’s SMS authentication or another enabled signer-authentication control when the contract requires stronger attribution. Authentication supports evidence of signer identity but does not replace any notarization or witness requirement under state law.

Electronic execution can support a contract under ESIGN and UETA when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. Review the contract and applicable state law because those statutes do not remove exclusions such as wills or court orders.

The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes 100 signature invites per user per year. Business Premium is $15 and adds bulk send; verify any overage or plan limitation before routing volume.

Export the signed document and its signNow audit trail, then retain them according to the contract, applicable industry rule, and state law. No single federal retention period applies solely because this phrase appears in a contract.
