Each Party Further Agrees That They Are Not Acting Form

Use a EACH PARTY FURTHER AGREES THAT THEY ARE NOT ACTING 0 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this agreement form does

Each Party Further Agrees That They Are Not Acting Form is a private contractual statement in which the parties confirm that they are not acting as agents, representatives, or authorized participants for another person or organization, unless the agreement says otherwise. It is not identified here as an IRS, USCIS, court, or state-issued form, and no official filing deadline or government field set is provided. Parties should define their identities, relationship, authority, obligations, signatures, and effective date before routing it through signNow.

Business types using this agreement

The agreement is most useful when parties must document their relationship and signing capacity before beginning a private business arrangement.

  • Solo consultants can use the agreement to document that they are acting independently rather than as an agent for a client, provided the wording matches the actual engagement.
  • Small businesses can route the agreement alongside vendor, contractor, or partnership records, using assigned signers and an audit trail to preserve each party’s stated capacity.
  • Enterprise legal and procurement teams can standardize review, permissions, and retention for recurring non-agency representations without treating this private agreement as a government filing.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Best practices for this agreement

Accurate party details, a defined scope, informed consent, and reliable records make this private agreement easier to interpret and administer.

Identify each party precisely

State every party’s legal identity, address, and capacity clearly. Avoid relying on informal names or unexplained abbreviations, because the agreement should show who made the representation and whether a person signed individually or for an organization.

Define the representation’s scope

Explain the exact relationship or activity covered by the non-agency statement. Define any exceptions, delegated authority, or prior arrangements so the clause does not contradict another contract or misstate the parties’ actual conduct.

Preserve signing evidence

Give each signer access to the complete agreement before signature. Capture intent, consent, and the final signed record through signNow’s audit trail, including the signing event and document history.

Retain the complete record

Store the completed agreement with related amendments and approvals. Apply the organization’s contract-retention policy, protect access permissions, and review the language with qualified counsel when agency, fiduciary, employment, or regulated activities are involved.

Privacy and disclosure pitfalls

  • Personal addresses, identification details, or authority information may be exposed when the completed agreement is shared without role-based access controls.
  • A signer may receive the agreement without a clear electronic-consent disclosure or adequate access to the complete record before signing.
  • Broad non-agency language can conflict with an employment, partnership, vendor, or power-of-attorney arrangement already governing the parties’ conduct.
  • Uncontrolled copies can separate the signed agreement from its audit trail, amendments, or evidence showing which version each party reviewed.

Questions about this agreement

These answers address the agreement’s private-contract status, signNow preparation workflow, signing evidence, and legal limitations.

A private agreement is not an IRS or USCIS form, so no federal filing deadline can be inferred. Define the effective date and any contractual notice period inside the document. signNow can route signatures and retain the completed agreement, but it does not determine legal deadlines.

Under ESIGN and applicable state law, an electronic signature can support a private agreement when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, provides the federal framework.

Review every auto-detected field after uploading the agreement. Confirm party names, signature assignments, dates, and any initials fields before sending. A detected field is a placement aid, not legal confirmation that the agreement’s wording or parties are correct.

The signNow Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, templates, and mobile apps at $8 per user per month when billed annually. Its subscription includes 100 signature invites per user per year, with overage fees.

Use signNow’s stronger signer authentication options when the agreement involves sensitive authority representations. Email delivery alone may not establish the level of identity assurance your organization requires; configure SMS, knowledge-based, or other available controls according to policy.

Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, and certain family-law documents are excluded from ESIGN’s coverage. This private agreement should not be used to replace a required notarization, witness process, court filing, or state-specific legal instrument.
