Contracts & signing · Digital signing

A signature is not paperwork.
It is the foundation.

An agreement signed with MitID before the first invoice goes out — and one that stays in place as the basis under the invoice, the payment and, if it comes to that, the collection. The strongest thing you can do for a claim, you do before it is even a claim.

The load-bearing principle

Everything rests
on the signature.

The four steps of a receivables journey look like they stand on their own. They do not. They all rest on the same thing — how strongly the claim is documented from the start.

  1. Agreement The terms are accepted, not assumed.
  2. Invoice The invoice stands on an agreement, not a presumption.
  3. Payment Instalments and payment plans build on a binding yes.
  4. Collection A signed basis makes the road short — and more often unnecessary.

The difference, when it comes to a head

Same claim. Two foundations.

If the customer does not pay, the case turns on one question: can you prove what was agreed? The answer was given long before the case arose.

Weak foundation

Without a signature

  • One word against another about what was agreed
  • The burden of proof is yours — spread across emails and quotes
  • Disputed claim → slow, expensive lawsuit
  • The claim is maybe written off, untested
Strong foundation

With a signature

  • The acceptance is documented, dated and binding
  • The burden of proof turns — the agreement speaks for itself
  • Undisputed claim → straight to the bailiff court
  • A short road to the money — often without a lawsuit
How the agreement becomes a foundation

Three steps. One binding document.

The same flow you know from invoicing — just one step earlier.

  1. 01 Build

    Set up the agreement on your own brand

    Choose a template or start from scratch, and fill in terms, amount and parties. The agreement looks like the rest of what you send.

  2. 02 Sign

    The counterparty signs digitally

    Choose MitID when it has to be legally binding — or a plain digital signature when a quick, documented acceptance is enough.

  3. 03 Lock

    The foundation stands — time-stamped and unchangeable

    Both parties get a time-stamped copy that cannot be changed afterwards. Now you can invoice on top of it — and lean on it if it has to be collected.

Two ways to sign
MitIDStrongest

Legally binding, and we know for certain who signed. For agreements that have to hold — in court too.

Digital signature

Acceptance in one click, without MitID. Fast, when an ordinary, documented confirmation is enough.

What can be signed

Anything that should be in writing.

Ongoing agreements, one-off jobs, debt acknowledgements — if it has to be provable, it belongs here.

Ongoing

Service & subscription agreements

Fixed terms, signed once and invoice-ready right away — as a subscription too.

One-off

Quotes & job confirmations

An accepted quote becomes a binding agreement, ready to invoice against.

Strongest

Payment agreements & debt instruments

The debtor acknowledges the debt with their signature — the strongest starting point if it has to be collected.

The foundation pays off in the end

A signed claim
starts at the front of the queue.

This is where the agreement earns its keep. A binding basis changes how fast and how cheaply a claim can be collected — and with Rieck Advokater behind the case, it is used to the full.

Undisputed goes straight to the bailiff court

If the claim is documented and accepted, it skips the dispute and takes the short road to enforcement.

A debt instrument holds for ten years

A signed debt instrument is a foundation: the limitation period is ten years, not three, and the claim can be enforced without a new case.
