The Delivery by Legal Fiction feature ensures that a document is automatically completed even if the recipient does not sign it by the specified deadline. The default completion period is 15 days (you can adjust this value in the workspace settings).
Important rule: The Delivery by Legal Fiction feature can only be used for signing scenarios with a maximum of 1 counterparty.
How to set it up
1. Preparing the document:
Upload a new document from your device or create it from a prepared template.
2. Setting up the signing scenario:
In the General settings section, enable the Delivery by Legal Fiction option. Enter the counterparty.
3. Sending for signature:
Send the document in the usual way.
How is the delivery period calculated?
The countdown of days until automatic completion begins exactly at the moment when it is the given counterparty's turn – that is, when the system delivers the e-mail notification about the new document to sign to the counterparty.
