Clinch

Terms of Service

Last updated October 2026

The service

Clinch lets you draft contracts, send them for electronic signature, and collect deposits. Signatures collected through Clinch are Simple Electronic Signatures (SES) under ESIGN (US) and eIDAS (EU) — not Qualified Electronic Signatures. See /legality for what that does and doesn't cover.

Not legal advice

Clinch is not a law firm. Templates and AI-drafted contracts are starting points, not legal advice — review them, and consult a lawyer for anything unusual or high-stakes before sending.

Your account and content

You're responsible for the accuracy of what you send, and for keeping your account credentials secure. You own the contracts you create; we only process them to run the service.

Acceptable use

Don't use Clinch to send phishing, fraudulent, or deceptive documents, to impersonate someone else, or to collect signatures without the signer's knowledge. Every account's first document is automatically screened, and every sign page has a "Report this document" link. Accounts that abuse the signing flow will be suspended.

Plans and billing

The free plan is free, indefinitely, within its published limits. Pro is billed by Stripe at $9/month or $72/year; Team (5 seats) at $39/month or $349/year, plus $8/month or $80/year for each extra seat. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, and the price you see at checkout is the price you keep while the subscription stays active. You can cancel anytime from your account settings — no fees, no retention calls.

The Pro Pass is a single payment of $149 for 12 months of Pro: it never renews and is never charged again. When you subscribe monthly to Pro you may add a prepaid second month for $6 at checkout; it's credited to your account and used for your second month's invoice.

Deposits collected through a document you send go directly to your own connected Stripe account or your own payment link. Clinch never holds or takes a cut of your clients' payments.

Refunds

Not happy? Email us within 14 days of your first Pro or Team payment, or of buying a Pro Pass, and we'll refund it in full — no questions asked. A full refund ends the paid plan right away and your account returns to the free plan; your documents stay.

Renewals and periods older than 14 days aren't refunded pro rata: cancel anytime and you keep paid features until the end of the period you paid for. A prepaid second month is refunded in full on request until it starts. Nothing here limits any refund right you have under your local consumer law.

Availability

We aim for reliable uptime but the service is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of the service, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Termination

You can delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, particularly the acceptable use section above.

Changes

We may update these terms as the product evolves. Material changes will be posted here with an updated date.
