📑 Control legal terms acceptance with traceability and validity
In industrial operations, every purchase, sale, or service contract involves legal terms that define rights, limits, and responsibilities:
⚖️ General purchasing conditions
⚖️ Penalty clauses for non-compliance
⚖️ Limitations of technical or financial liability
⚖️ Delivery, payment or confidentiality terms
⚖️ Sector-specific regulations (ADR, REACH, ISO…)
The problem: these clauses are often emailed or sent as PDFs without proof of review or acceptance — exposing your company to legal risks:
❌ Can the supplier claim they were unaware of the terms?
❌ Can you prove they received and accepted them?
❌ What if a serious breach occurs?
With Consigne, you can request formal acceptance of legal terms via digital signature or traceable read confirmation, including timestamp and technical metadata.
⚠️ Common risks of undocumented acceptance
- Clauses rejected or denied in case of dispute
- Inability to claim penalties for breaches
- Mismatched versions with no clear history
- Problems during inspections or external audits
- No legal traceability in commercial processes
✅ How does Consigne solve it?
- Send legal terms as a standalone document or contract annex
- Request mandatory review and acceptance before continuing a process
- Collect legally valid digital signatures
