Pacterms
Pacterms is a web-based agreement creation and invoicing platform designed for freelancers and small businesses. It enables users to quickly generate legally binding contracts using simple templates or custom terms, then send them to clients via SMS. Clients confirm agreement by replying 'I AGREE' via text message, which creates a timestamped, ESIGN-compliant proof trail including IP address, SMS OTP confirmation, and SHA-256 hash. Beyond agreement creation, Pacterms includes integrated invoicing with automatic payment reminders, milestone payment features (such as half upfront, half on completion), and an escalation protocol for unpaid invoices. The escalation system automatically generates evidence packs and professionally drafted demand notices to help users recover funds without legal fees. The platform also offers a Team Office Suite for managing workers with time tracking and photo documentation, and supports both English and Spanish languages.
