Terms of Service

ScopeLock (“the Service”, “we”, “us”) is a software platform that helps creative agencies and freelancers create, manage, and deliver Statements of Work (SOWs) to their clients. ScopeLock is a software tool only — it is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and is not a certified or regulated electronic signature service.

ScopeLock facilitates document signing through a click-to-agree mechanism that captures the signer’s name, email address, IP address, device information, and a timestamp. These signatures are intended to satisfy the requirements of:

• The US Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN Act)
• The EU eIDAS Regulation (Simple Electronic Signature — Basic Level)

ScopeLock makes no warranty that signatures captured through the Service are legally enforceable in any specific jurisdiction or for any specific type of contract. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of electronic signatures complies with applicable law in your jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of your clients.

By using ScopeLock, you agree that:

• You are solely responsible for the legal validity and enforceability of the contracts you create and send through the Service.
• You will obtain all necessary consents from your clients before sharing their personal information with ScopeLock.
• You will not use the Service to create or send fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal contracts.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
• You will comply with all applicable laws, including data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA), when using the Service.

When a document is signed through ScopeLock, the following data is automatically recorded and stored as part of the audit trail:

• Signer’s full name and email address
• Date and time of signing (UTC)
• IP address of the device used to sign
• Browser and operating system information (user agent)
• A SHA-256 cryptographic hash linking the signature to the specific document and timestamp

This data is retained for a minimum of 7 years from the date of signing to support potential dispute resolution. See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ScopeLock’s total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the total fees you paid to ScopeLock in the three (3) months preceding the claim.

ScopeLock shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of business opportunity, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

In particular, ScopeLock is not liable for any damages arising from a counterparty’s refusal to honour a contract facilitated through the Service, or from any determination by a court that an electronically signed document is unenforceable.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ScopeLock and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third party’s rights.

ScopeLock retains all rights to the Service, including its software, design, and underlying technology. You retain ownership of all content you create through the Service (SOW documents, deliverables, legal clauses, etc.).

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms. Upon termination, your access to the Service will cease, but data you have stored may be retained as required by law or for dispute resolution purposes.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Slovenia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Slovenia.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
