Frequently asked questions
What is an eIDAS-compliant electronic signature?
An eIDAS-compliant electronic signature complies with EU Regulation No. 910/2014 (eIDAS) and is legally binding throughout the EU. ContractHero supports the advanced electronic signature (AES) as part of every plan, as well as the qualified electronic signature (QES) as an add-on. Both types of signatures are eIDAS-compliant and are archived in an audit-proof manner.
What is an advanced electronic signature?
The advanced electronic signature (AES) or Advanced Electronic Signature (AdES) offers a high level of security and is less complex than a qualified signature. ContractHero's AES is also eIDAS-compliant and can be used for most contracts that require a legally binding electronic signature. The AES ensures that the identity of the signer is clearly traceable, for example through authentication procedures such as mobile phone verification.
While the AES does not have the same high legal status as the QES, it still meets high security requirements and offers an efficient way to sign documents in a legally secure and trustworthy manner.
Learn more about the advanced electronic signature in our blog.
What is the difference between FES and QES on ContractHero?
The advanced electronic signature (AES) is sufficient for most business contracts in Germany and is included in every ContractHero plan. The qualified electronic signature (QES) requires identification via Video-Ident or eID and legally replaces the handwritten signature in form-specific contracts such as fixed-term employment contracts or consumer loans. QES is available as an add-on with ContractHero.
How do I create contract templates in ContractHero?
ContractHero offers centralized template management: The legal department defines verified templates with required fields and validation logic, and business departments can use these to create new contracts with a single click. Fields are filled in automatically, and version control and side-by-side comparison are built in. This allows contracts to be created in minutes rather than days, without the legal department having to step in as a bottleneck.
Can I set the signature order in ContractHero?
Yes, in ContractHero, you can freely define the order of signatories. Users decide who signs first and who signs next. The system automatically sends invitations and reminders in the correct order. The signature status is clearly visible in the system at all times.
Where is a signed contract stored on ContractHero?
As soon as a contract is signed in ContractHero, it is automatically stored in the central contract repository. This storage is GoBD-compliant, audit-proof, and ISO 27001-certified. Servers are located exclusively in Germany; with the Enterprise plan, backups can be stored on a dedicated server at the customer’s location.
What types of contracts can I create with ContractHero?
With ContractHero, users can create employment contracts, NDAs, supplier agreements, consultant agreements, lease agreements, master agreements, and all other standard business contracts. Templates can be customized for each contract type, including required fields, dynamic fields, clause libraries, and approval workflows.
What are the advantages of digital signatures?
Digital signatures offer numerous advantages: They enable documents to be signed legally from anywhere and at any time without having to send originals by mail. The entire signature process takes place online, eliminating the time-consuming back-and-forth sending of paper documents. Digital signatures save time because documents can be signed with just a few clicks and a fixed signature sequence can be set for the parties involved. Digital signatures ensure that documents are signed in a legally valid and secure manner, enabling fast and efficient digital document management .
What kind of digital signature software does ContractHero offer?
With ContractHero, contracts can be created digitally and then sent digitally for signature and securely signed by the parties involved. Both advanced electronic signatures (AES) and qualified electronic signatures (QES) are available, so you can choose according to your security requirements. In addition, a signature sequence can be defined so that the signature process is clearly structured for all parties. ContractHero enables seamless integration of digital signatures into the contract process, ensuring smooth and legally compliant contract processes. Once signed, these contracts can be proactively managed with ContractHero and securely stored in the cloud .
