Developer's Agreement This Agreement, Entered Into This Day Form

Use a DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT, Entered Into This Day template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this developer's agreement form does

This form records the agreement between a developer and another party, including the business terms the parties accept and the date they enter into them. Complete the parties, scope, obligations, payment or delivery terms, applicable notices, and signature sections exactly as drafted; do not leave material blanks. In signNow, upload the document, review detected fields, assign each signer, and send it for electronic signature. ESIGN and UETA can support electronic business records when intent, consent, attribution, and accurate retention are established. State law and the agreement’s subject matter may impose additional requirements.

Features that support this agreement

Status tracking

Send the agreement by email or shareable link, while tracking whether each party has opened, signed, or still needs to complete the document.

Choose how parties sign the agreement

  1. Use the signNow web app when preparing the Developer's Agreement on a desktop, reviewing detected fields, assigning parties, and checking the signing order before delivery.
  2. Use the signNow mobile app when a party needs to review or sign the agreement from an iOS or Android device while preserving the document’s signing record.
  3. Choose kiosk mode for supervised, in-person completion when an administrator presents the agreement and the signer completes the assigned fields on a shared device.
  4. Create a shareable signing link when the same agreement template must reach multiple authorized parties without manually preparing a separate email invitation each time.

What the agreement Audit Trail records

The signNow Audit Trail preserves technical evidence around signer identity, actions, document integrity, completion, and later retrieval.

01

Authenticate signer:

Confirm the signer’s email or selected authentication method before the agreement is opened.
02

Capture timestamps:

Record the exact time each party views, signs, or declines the agreement.
03

Hash document:

Associate the completed agreement with its document hash and signing history.
04

Seal document:

Seal the executed record so later changes can be detected during review.
05

Create certificate:

Generate the completion certificate after every required party has signed.
06

Export evidence:

Export the Audit Trail and completed PDF for controlled record storage.

Retain and protect signed agreements

Preserve the executed agreement, completion evidence, and applicable records schedule together so the document remains accessible and reviewable.

Match retention to the underlying record

Keep the signed agreement and completion certificate together in a controlled repository. For tax records, retain records for three years from filing under IRC §6501(a), unless a longer period applies to the underlying transaction.

Export the audit trail

Export the signNow Audit Trail after completion and preserve signer actions, timestamps, authentication events, and document history with the executed agreement. The record should remain reproducible for review rather than relying only on an email notification.

Archive sensitive agreements securely

Restrict access to agreement copies by role and protect stored files with encryption. If the agreement contains protected health information, apply HIPAA safeguards and retain required documentation for six years under 45 CFR §164.530(j).

Separate executed versions from drafts

Use a consistent file name containing the parties, execution date, and agreement identifier. Keep the final PDF, certificate of completion, and amendments together so reviewers can distinguish the executed version from drafts.

Legal standing of this agreement

A Developer's Agreement may be admissible when the parties demonstrate intent, consent to electronic records, signer attribution, and reliable retention and reproduction. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable UETA provisions support electronic business agreements, but they do not cover wills, codicils, certain court orders, or family law decrees.

Troubleshoot agreement signing issues

Resolve field, signer, authentication, retention, plan, and regulated-data questions before treating the Developer's Agreement as fully executed.

Upload the final PDF again, then inspect signNow’s detected fields before sending. Add missing signature, initials, date, or text fields manually where the Developer's Agreement requires them. Confirm every field is assigned to the correct party and that no draft version remains attached.

Open the recipient settings and verify each email address, signing order, and assigned field. Resend the invitation from signNow after correcting the recipient record. The agreement should not be considered executed until every required party completes the assigned fields and the final status confirms completion.

Use SMS OTP or another available authentication control when email-only attribution is insufficient for the agreement’s risk profile. signNow Business supports legally binding eSignatures and audit trails; stronger authentication should be selected according to the parties, transaction, and internal policy.

Export the completed agreement and its Audit Trail from signNow after all parties finish. The audit evidence should show signer actions, timestamps, and document history. Under ESIGN and UETA, retain a record capable of accurate reproduction rather than only the invitation email.

The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month when billed annually and includes 100 signature invites per user per year. If the workflow exceeds that allowance, review Business Premium, Enterprise, or Site License terms before sending additional agreements.

If the agreement contains protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a BAA. Confirm the BAA and organizational controls before sending PHI, and apply the six-year documentation rule in 45 CFR §164.530(j) where it applies.
