The contract record
What a signature leaves behind, the audit-trail PDF only you can download, what Riffit will not tell you about it, and what happens to v1 when you revise.

A signature is the moment; the record is what you still have months later. This is what Riffit writes down, what it hands you, and what it deliberately will not claim.
Making a contract and getting it signed is the article before this one: Contracts and e-signing.
The record
Every step is timestamped as it happens: sent, opened, code sent, code verified, signed. Not a summary written afterwards, a line added at the moment.
That record is yours to take. Download audit trail gives you a PDF of the whole thing — from the kebab menu on the contract, not from your client’s page. It is a separate file from the signed contract, and only you can download it. Your client gets the agreement; you keep the record of how it was agreed.
What Riffit does not do is tell you what any of that is worth in a dispute. It keeps a detailed record and hands you the file. Whether that record does the job you need is a question for a lawyer, and any tool that answers it for you is guessing.
Reminders and the link
A contract that has not been signed can be nudged with Send Reminder.
The signing link has its own expiry, separate from the contract, and the page tells you when it is getting close. An expired link is re-sendable.
Revising a signed contract
Same shape as a quote. Revising creates a fresh draft at the next version, which you edit and send.
The version that was signed does not disappear. It stays in the record, signature and all. That is the point: an amendment that quietly overwrote what was agreed would make the record useless.
Then billing it
A signed contract becomes an invoice, from the dashboard or from a WhatsApp message like "bill the Rahul contract".
It carries the client, the amount and the subject across as a single line item. The contract's own structure does not come with it, because a contract's money is one agreed figure rather than a price list.
Riffit will also stop you billing the same agreement twice, and it matches on the original contract rather than the version number, so billing an amended contract still counts as billing that job.
