Frequently asked questions
Why require a signed subscription agreement?
Click-wrap terms cover most users, but enterprise clients often need a signed agreement for their legal and procurement teams. A signed agreement also reduces chargebacks and dispute claims.
Can I include a trial period in the subscription agreement?
Yes. Clearly state the trial duration, what happens at trial end, and any opt-out requirements. Collecting a signed agreement at trial start — before any payment — removes ambiguity.
What if a subscriber wants to modify the terms?
You can create a custom version with negotiated terms and use SignOwl to send that version for signature. Keep the signed copy as the binding document for that customer relationship.
