What is a Partnership Agreement?

Partnership Agreement FAQs
Is an electronically signed partnership agreement legally binding?
Yes. Under the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA, and eIDAS in the EU, electronic signatures are legally valid and enforceable for most business contracts, including partnership agreements. Each signed document comes with a tamper-evident PDF and a Certificate of Completion that records who signed, when, and from where. This audit trail helps support the agreement's validity if it's ever questioned.
Do I need a lawyer to create a partnership agreement?
Not to create or sign one. tuyaform gives you a ready-to-use template you can fill out and send yourself. That said, tuyaform isn't a law firm and doesn't give legal advice. If your partnership involves significant assets, complex ownership, or unusual terms, it's worth having a lawyer review the agreement before you sign.
Is tuyaform really free?
Yes. tuyaform is free forever and ad-supported. You can create, send, and sign your partnership agreement without paying, and there's no watermark on your finished document. You get the same legally binding signed PDF and audit trail whether you're sending one agreement or many.
How many partners can sign the agreement?
You can add every partner as a signer and send the agreement to all of them. Each person signs electronically, and the Certificate of Completion records each signature with a timestamp. The document isn't final until everyone has signed.
What do I get after everyone signs?
You get a finished, tamper-evident PDF of the signed partnership agreement plus a Certificate of Completion. The certificate logs each signer's name, email, signature timestamp, and IP address, giving you a verifiable record that the document hasn't been altered since signing.
