Can I protect my copyright to the design in the contract?

Yes. zipzipdoc templates include an IP clause. You can define under what conditions the client may modify or otherwise use the design.

How do I set up payment for site supervision?

Site supervision can be added as an amendment or included directly in the works contract. You define a daily or hourly rate and the scope of services.

Are electronically signed project contracts legally valid?

Yes. eIDAS electronic signatures are legally equivalent to handwritten ones. Contracts requiring land registry registration require a notarised signature.

Can I send contracts to foreign investors?

Yes. zipzipdoc generates contracts in English and other languages suitable for international projects.

How it works in practice

The client confirms interest in a design. The architect opens zipzipdoc, selects the works contract template for architectural projects, fills in the fee, phases and scope. The client signs online and work can begin without paperwork complications. Site supervision is handled as an amendment in the same system.
