Contracts

Confirm the order with the other side.

Amount, period, deliverables and payment terms. Send a purchase order as a link so the other side can review and accept it without logging in. Who agreed, when and to which terms is recorded, with a receipt sent to both parties.

Contracts and purchase orders are fully available on the Free plan.

Review by link

They just open the link.

Purchase orders arrive as a link. Without making an account, the other side reads the terms and chooses whether to accept the order or request changes.

Record

Who agreed, when, and to which terms.

Before acceptance, a six-digit verification code is sent to their email. Entering the code and accepting saves the terms, acceptance statement and identity in one record, together with its fingerprint. The same receipt is emailed to both parties.

How it works

A contract can be formed without paper or a seal.

Under Article 522 of Japan's Civil Code, an offer and acceptance generally form a contract without a written document or seal. In Tooon, sending the purchase order is the offer; the other party choosing to agree and accept the order is the acceptance. The terms are recorded so both parties can refer to the same information later.

Forming a contract

Under Article 522 of Japan's Civil Code, an offer and acceptance generally form a contract without a written document or seal.

Disclosing terms

The ordering party can provide transaction terms in writing or electronically, including by email, under Article 3 of Japan's Freelance Act.

Email verification

A six-digit code verifies access to the email address of the person accepting the order.

Detecting changes

A SHA-256 fingerprint of the accepted record lets you check whether the record has changed.

Receipts

The same receipt is sent to both the contractor and the ordering party.

Acceptance in Tooon is not an electronic signature under Japan's Electronic Signatures Act. The ordering party should check that all required terms are included. Consult a lawyer or other qualified professional for significant or high-value contracts.

Hand off

The agreed amount flows into billing and payment.

Payment requests arrive linked to the original purchase order. Check the difference from the requested amount, approve it, and it joins your scheduled payments.
