Get the NDA out of the way while the deal is still warm.
NDAs, MSAs, SLAs and supplier agreements shuffle between sales, procurement and legal for days — and every one of those days costs momentum. Send it with a signing order, get it back the same day, and hold a sealed original either side can verify for free.
No credit card to start — Personal plan included.
Move at deal speed
Counterparties sign from any device, in the order you set, usually the same day. No printing, no couriers, no "our MD is travelling this week".
A sealed original
Every completed agreement carries a certification signature, a SHA-256 fingerprint and an independent timestamp. A "signed" PDF sitting in an inbox proves none of that.
Squarely inside the ECT Act
Ordinary commercial agreements are exactly what electronic signatures were made for. The Act's wet-ink exclusions live elsewhere — wills, property transfers — not in your sales cycle.
The commercial paper that actually crosses your desk
Sales, procurement and partnerships all run on the same stack of agreements. All of it signs electronically, with the order enforced:
4. Confidential Information
"Confidential Information" means any information disclosed by either party, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure.
-
Mutual & one-way NDAsSigned before the first real conversation, not three days after it.
-
Master service agreementsThe framework agreement, executed once and relied on for years.
-
Service level agreementsUptime, response times and penalties — signed by both sides, sealed once.
-
Supplier & procurement agreementsOnboard suppliers with a signing order and a sealed record per supplier.
-
Memoranda of understandingGet intent on paper while the fine print is still being negotiated.
-
Partnership & reseller agreementsMulti-party signing with the order enforced — nobody signs out of turn.
-
Statements of work & renewalsThe repeat paper that templates and bulk send were made for.
Signed fast is good. Provable later is the point.
Verifiable
The sealed original beats a "signed" PDF
Anyone can claim a PDF was signed. Your counterparty can prove yours was: they drop the file at /verify and check the certification signature, the SHA-256 fingerprint and the independent timestamp themselves — free, no KuduDoc account, no taking your word for it. Or ours. One caveat we'd rather you heard from us: our certification signature is self-signed, so Adobe Reader shows its validity as "unknown" rather than a green tick. That's about whose certificate it is, not whether the file changed — we explain the difference in full.
Try verificationRepeat paper
Templates and bulk send for the agreements you send weekly
Save the NDA as a shared template and send it in seconds — or bulk-send one agreement to a whole supplier list, with each recipient getting their own envelope and their own audit trail. Templates and bulk send start on Family; the number of templates you can keep rises with the plan — 10 on Family, 25 on Professional, unlimited on Business. Personal cannot use either.
Compare the plansBefore you send the next agreement
Yes. Electronic signatures are legally recognised in South Africa under the ECT Act, and ordinary commercial agreements — NDAs, MSAs, SLAs, supplier contracts — are precisely the territory the Act was written for. Its Schedule 2 wet-ink exclusions cover things like wills and transfers of immovable property, not everyday commercial paper.
They drop the file at /verify — free, no account required. It checks the certification signature, recomputes the SHA-256 fingerprint and confirms the independent timestamp. They never have to trust your copy, your word, or KuduDoc's.
Yes. Set the sequence — your signatory first, then the counterparty, or the reverse — and KuduDoc enforces it: the second party can't sign until the first one has. Useful when internal sign-off has to land before the agreement leaves the building.
No. From the Family plan up you save it once as a shared template — fields placed, order set — and send it in seconds, or bulk-send it to a whole list at once. Every recipient still gets their own envelope, their own seal and their own audit trail. The Personal plan can't save templates or bulk-send.
5 agreements a month are free, forever, no credit card. Sending more than that, or want a team seat? Personal raises that to 10 a month and costs R79/month including VAT for a household of five — that is the annual rate, and month-to-month costs more. Professional adds team seats and unlimited sends; its seat rate is on the full pricing page. Either way, agreements you've already sent are never affected by a plan change.
Send the NDA now. The deal will thank you.
