The Bonterms Platform is a neutral, third-party platform for two parties review, negotiate and sign Bonterms Standard Agreements using a Cover Page generated by the Bonterms Platform. As a recipient, you can review proposed terms, suggest changes, and sign - all as a guest user without creating an account or signing up to Bonterms.
Quick tips:
No Bonterms account required. You can review, negotiate, and sign entirely via secure email links.
Nothing is final until both parties agree. You can propose changes and send counter-terms before anything is signed.
You’re not locked into anything. You can exit the process at any time without obligation.
Collaborative negotiation, not redlines. Instead of exchanging redlines, Bonterms lets each party propose changes to specific deal terms. All proposed changes are visible, tracked, and reviewed step-by-step until both sides agree on every term.
Trusted eSignature Providers. Final signatures are completed through DocuSign or HelloSign, depending on the sender.
As a recipient, you can:
Review all proposed terms
Suggest changes to key terms
Add your own Additional Terms ('Create new term')
Accept or reject proposed changes
Add a signer or viewer - without creating an account
Sign once all terms are agreed
You won’t need to:
Create a Bonterms account
Enter payment information
Install software

Note: Bonterms is not a party to your agreement. It provides standardized contract language and a neutral workflow for both sides to reach agreement efficiently.

Your signers will be notified through Docusign or HelloSign (if the Sending party is using one of our integrations) that the agreement is now ready to be Signed. You will be notified once the agreement has been signed by both parties.
