Interesting product. Congrats on shipping!

I'm wondering about the use case of developers actually wanting to send out contracts (on behalf of their employer, I assume). Is this something that your clients who are software developers are asking for?

Disclosure: I'm a lawyer and software developer.

Edit: Correct a brain fart.

That's right! They often want to integrate with existing processes or products (often Salesforce) to automatically send contracts out for signatures on behalf of the company.
> Disclaimer: I'm a lawyer and software developer.

I'm surprised to see that common misuse (that I'd usually try harder to refrain commenting on) from a lawyer!

This is usually used as a "I'm speaking from this context" instead of a "legal" disclaimer.
Right, but that is absolutely a misuse, since if anything it's the opposite that's meant, it's a 'claimer' - I claim relevant experience or context through being a lawyer and SE.

Again not just boring and nit-picking on something so common where I know what's meant; I was just surprised that a lawyer (i.e. someone so familiar with it) would make that error. (Or use it with that (proscribed) meaning, if you prefer.)

You're right. Should've been "disclosure" instead.

This is one of the reasons why lawyers use templates, as a defense against brain farts where we write "disclaimer" instead of "disclosure."

Indeed!
