Frequently Asked Questions
Are these contract templates free?
Yes. All 64 templates are free to use. You can copy the markdown, customise it, and send for e-signature with Signbee's free tier (5 documents/month, no credit card required).
Are contracts signed using these templates legally binding?
Yes. Electronic signatures are legally binding under the ESIGN Act (US), eIDAS Regulation (EU), and ECA (UK). Every signed document includes a SHA-256 tamper-proof certificate. These templates are starting points — consult a lawyer for jurisdiction-specific requirements.
Can AI agents use these templates?
Yes. The templates are in markdown — the native output format of every LLM. An AI agent can select a template, fill in the variables programmatically, and call the Signbee API to send the document for signature automatically. See How AI Agents Can Send Documents for Signature.
Why markdown instead of DOCX or PDF templates?
Markdown is plain text — it's version-controllable, diff-friendly, and trivially manipulated by code or AI agents. Signbee converts markdown to a clean PDF automatically. No Word editors, no PDF manipulation libraries, no binary file handling.
