API
A robust API allows legal and IT teams to embed novation signing into existing systems, automate document generation, and programmatically retrieve execution evidence.
Using electronic signatures for novation agreements reduces execution time, preserves a complete audit trail, and lowers administrative overhead while supporting legal validity under ESIGN and UETA in the United States.
Corporate counsel drafts and approves novation language, confirms that the new party meets contractual requirements, and certifies that all signatures and corporate approvals are in place to avoid enforceability issues.
Contracts managers coordinate the execution workflow, distribute the novation document to signatories, ensure correct sequencing, and archive the final executed agreement with a complete audit trail for compliance.
Companies that regularly transfer contractual responsibilities, such as legal teams, finance groups, and contract administrators, rely on structured novation processes.
A robust API allows legal and IT teams to embed novation signing into existing systems, automate document generation, and programmatically retrieve execution evidence.
Mobile signing provides flexibility for remote signers, enabling secure execution from tablets or phones while maintaining full audit records and authentication options.
Granular roles and permissions let administrators control who can create, send, approve, or archive novation documents across an organization.
Version control preserves earlier drafts, tracks changes during negotiation, and ensures the final executed novation matches approvals.
Automated reminders and status alerts keep all parties informed about pending signatures and completed novations.
Native integrations with storage and CRM systems shorten handoffs and centralize executed novation agreements for recordkeeping.
Prebuilt and customizable novation templates reduce drafting errors, ensure clause consistency across agreements, and speed repeatable executions while preserving required fields and signature locations.
Bulk Send enables distributing the same novation document to multiple counterparties with individualized fields, reducing manual steps when many contracts require parallel novation.
An immutable audit trail records timestamps, IP addresses, and events for each signer, supporting enforceability and providing evidence in compliance or dispute scenarios.
Multiple authentication methods, including SMS and two-factor options, help verify signer identity so the substitution is valid and defensible.
