Signing Contracts

Once an organizer issues a contract for an event you are assigned to, you need to read it and sign it before the engagement is formally binding. Signing on EventMann is a real legal action — there is no draft mode, no counter-offer step, and, importantly, no way to undo it afterwards. Read this before you draw your signature.
What a contract actually is
A contract has a title and a single block of free-text content that the organizer writes — there are no separate structured fields for payment schedule, deliverables, or cancellation terms. Whatever the organizer wants to bind you to has to be written into that text, so read the whole thing rather than skimming for section headings that may not exist.
How to sign a contract
- Open it from My Contracts or the Pending Contracts card on your dashboard.
- Read the content in full. If anything is unclear, resolve it with the organizer before you sign — there is no built-in way to message them from this page (see Communication with Organizers), so you will need to reach them however you normally do.
- If you are ready to proceed, draw your signature in the signature box using your mouse or finger.
- Tick “I agree to be bound by this contract and acknowledge this constitutes a legally binding signature.” The Sign Contract button only becomes active once both the drawn signature and the checkbox are present.
- Click Sign Contract. There is no confirmation step after this — it signs immediately.
What counts as acceptance, and what is kept as a record
- Acceptance is exactly the combination above: a drawn signature plus the checked agreement box, submitted once. There is no separate identity check, video call, or email confirmation loop.
- EventMann stores your drawn signature image, the IP address you signed from, and the exact timestamp against the contract. That is the record kept if the agreement is ever disputed later.
- There is no PDF export or download of the signed contract. The contract’s own page — showing the full text, the Signed badge, and the signing date — is your copy of record on the platform.
Can a signed contract be withdrawn?
No. Once a contract shows Signed, neither side can cancel or reverse it through the platform — cancelling a contract explicitly refuses to run once it has been signed. If circumstances genuinely change afterwards, that has to be resolved directly with the organizer outside the platform; EventMann has no amendment or supersede mechanism, so in practice a new contract would need to be issued to reflect whatever changed.
Good to know
- An organizer can issue a contract at any point after assigning you — you do not need to have accepted the event invitation first. Signing the contract and accepting the assignment are two separate actions.
- An unsigned contract can still be cancelled by the organizer at any time before you sign it, which removes it from your obligations entirely.
- Some contracts carry a deadline date the organizer chose when issuing it. There is no reminder as that date approaches, so track it yourself; if you are going to miss it, tell the organizer directly, since they may need to cancel and re-issue.
Troubleshooting
- The Sign Contract button will not activate — you need both a drawn signature (draw at least one stroke in the box; use Clear to start over) and the agreement checkbox ticked.
- The page shows “This contract has expired” — the deadline date the organizer set has passed. Contact them directly; you cannot sign from this state.
- I signed something I should not have — there is no undo. Talk to the organizer immediately; any correction has to happen as a new agreement between you, not inside EventMann.
