# Contracts & e-signatures

> Send event contracts for e-signature, track who's signed, and route declines back into your workflow — without leaving Soundcheck.

Soundcheck sends your event contracts for **e-signature** and tracks them as part of the gig — so the agreement lives next to the schedule, the roster, and the money it covers. You send a contract, signers receive a request, and Soundcheck records the status as it moves toward signed.

E-signature is powered by **SignWell**. On enterprise plans you can sign under your own brand — see [white-label branding](/features/contracts/white-label-branding).

<Info>
  Contracts are rolling out per organization. If you don't see contract actions on your gigs, [contact support](mailto:support@soundcheck.live) to enable them.

## Contract lifecycle

```mermaid theme={null}
stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> DRAFT: Create contract
    DRAFT --> SENT: Send for signature
    SENT --> SIGNED: All signers complete
    SENT --> DECLINED: A signer declines
    DECLINED --> SENT: Resend after fixing
```

| Status       | Meaning                                                                                                              |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Draft**    | The contract is prepared but not yet sent. Edit freely.                                                              |
| **Sent**     | Signature requests have gone out; you're waiting on signers.                                                         |
| **Signed**   | Every required signer has completed. The executed document is attached to the gig.                                   |
| **Declined** | A signer declined. The signer is routed back to the organization portal so you can follow up, fix terms, and resend. |

## Sending a contract

<Steps>
  <Step title="Attach the agreement to a gig">
    Start from the gig's contracts area. The contract is tied to the event, so its status sits alongside the rest of the gig record.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add signers">
    Each signer is a contact with a name and email. Soundcheck tracks each signer's status individually.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send for signature">
    Signers receive a SignWell request. The contract moves to <strong>Sent</strong>.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Track to completion">
    Watch each signer's progress. When the last required signer completes, the contract is <strong>Signed</strong> and the executed copy is stored on the gig.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## When a signer declines

A decline doesn't dead-end. The signer is routed back to your organization portal, so you can reach out, adjust the agreement, and resend — keeping the whole negotiation inside Soundcheck instead of scattered across inboxes.

## Contracts as part of the record

Because contracts live on the gig, an executed agreement is part of the same system of record as who's playing, who's working, and what's owed. It shows up alongside the gig's [run of show and files](/features/gigs/run-of-show) and its [payments](/features/gigs/payments).
