Practical guide
How to manage all contracts in one application?
Short answer
- 11. Create an account on 4mycontracts.net.
- 22. Upload existing contracts or generate new ones from templates.
- 33. Send the contract for electronic signature to all parties.
- 44. Track each contract's status from the panel.
- 55. Use the expiry radar for contracts with a term.
What the law says
- EU Civil Law — contracts must meet validity conditions: capacity, consent, object, and lawful cause.
- eIDAS Regulation (EU) 910/2014 — qualified electronic signatures have the same legal value as handwritten ones.
- GDPR Art. 28 — data processing agreements must include mandatory data protection clauses.
- Romanian Labour Code Art. 16 — individual employment contracts must be executed in writing.
- Law no. 455/2001 on electronic signatures — digital documents are legally recognized in Romania.
Practical examples
- IT maintenance contract for a SaaS startup (2-year term, SLA clause, and late-penalty provisions).
- Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with an external freelancer, signed electronically in under 10 minutes.
- Bilingual RO-EN service agreement with an EU client, archived in the account after signing.
- Tracking 15 annual subscription contracts in the expiry radar, with the “expires in 30 days” filter.
Common mistakes
- Missing confidentiality clause in contracts with freelancers or external partners.
- Storing contracts in local folders with no version control or access management.
- Not entering the end date — the contract does not show up in the expiry radar and may silently auto-renew or lapse without the team's knowledge.
- Using scanned handwritten signatures instead of qualified electronic signatures, which may not hold in disputes.
