Mutual Understanding Agreement · Nº 2026

For people who close deals without a lawyer

Close the deal today.
No misunderstanding later.

Contractype interviews both sides separately, shows you where you are not actually agreeing, and walks you through the conversation until the contract is ready to sign.

  • Done in about 20 minutes
  • PDF ready to sign, digitally or on paper
  • No sign-up, no subscription

Both versions of the same deal, side by side — before it becomes a contract.

CLAUSE IThe difference

A template generator records what one person thinks was agreed

Contractype is the only platform that interviews both parties before drafting. The mismatch surfaces while there is still time to fix it — not six months later, in the middle of the fight.

Template generator

  • One person fills in the form
  • The other receives it finished and signs blind
  • Whatever stayed implicit only surfaces in the dispute

Contractype

  • Each party is interviewed separately
  • The AI cross-references the answers and exposes the gaps
  • You negotiate point by point and co-write the text

CLAUSE IIHow it works

Six steps from idea to your contract

No back-and-forth emails. No missed expectations. No lawyers required.

  1. Party A — Private Interview

    The initiating party is interviewed by AI alone. Expectations, values, deadlines, legal ID. No forms — a real conversation.

    Async · Private
  2. Share the Link

    Party A gets a private link to send to the other party. No accounts or email registration required.

    Instant · No signup
  3. Party B — Private Interview

    The second party answers the same depth of questions independently. Neither party sees the other's answers.

    Confidential · Separate
  4. AI Cross-Reference

    The AI compares both sets of expectations, identifies agreements and conflicts, and builds a negotiation agenda.

    Automated · Precise
  5. Live Negotiation Chat

    Both parties join a mediated chat where the AI guides resolution of every conflict, updating the contract in real time.

    Real-time · Mediated
  6. Download the PDF

    A professionally structured PDF is generated and emailed to both parties — ready to print and sign in person.

CLAUSE VWitnesses

Deal closed, relationship intact

I always closed projects over WhatsApp voice notes. The fifth time the client asked for 'just one more small tweak', I had nothing to point at. Now I do.

Marina R.

Freelance designer · São Paulo

The separate interviews caught something neither of us had noticed: I thought the renovation was on me, he thought it was on him. Ten minutes and it was settled.

Cláudio M.

Landlord · Belo Horizonte

We are two partners and childhood friends. Neither of us wanted to be the one to bring up how we split things. The mediator brought it up for us.

CLAUSE VIIFrequently asked

What everyone asks before starting

Is this legally valid?

The contract itself, yes. In Brazil the law requires no particular form for most contracts between private parties, and electronic signatures are expressly admitted: Provisional Measure 2.200-2/2001 states in article 10, §2 that electronic documents signed by other means are valid as long as the parties accept them as adequate, and Law 14.063/2020 sorts signatures into three levels and recognises the first two between private parties. In the European Union the eIDAS Regulation applies, and in the United States the ESIGN Act and UETA set out equivalent principles. One important caveat: the signing does not happen inside Contractype (see the next question). High-value contracts and regulated sectors still deserve a lawyer's review.

Does Contractype sign the contract for me?

No. We run the negotiation and hand you the finished contract as a PDF, with the signature area already laid out. The signing itself happens outside the tool, wherever you choose: an electronic signature platform, a notary, or pen on paper. If you pick the digital format, the PDF comes with a signature box for each party and no witness lines; in the in-person format it comes with handwritten signature lines and space for two witnesses. We are not a signature provider — we do not issue or hold anyone's certificate.

Do I still need a lawyer?

For everyday agreements — a freelance project, a rental between people who know each other, a loan to a friend — the contract generated here covers the essentials and is far better than a verbal deal. For large amounts, complex partnerships or regulated sectors, take the document to a lawyer: reviewing costs far less than drafting from scratch.

What if the other party disagrees on something?

That is exactly what the mediation chat is for. Every disagreement goes onto an agenda and the AI runs the conversation until you settle it — or proposes a middle ground based on what is standard for that kind of contract. No clause enters the document without both parties agreeing to it.

How long does it take?

The interviews take 5 to 10 minutes per party and can be done at different times. The negotiation depends on how many points are still open — in most cases everything is settled in a single conversation.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You create the room, get a link and send it to the other party. No sign-up, no password, no subscription. You pay once, at the end, and only if you want to download the finished contract.

What happens to my data?

Your interview answers are never shown to the other party — only the result of the cross-reference enters the negotiation. The room expires once it is complete and you can request deletion at any time. The details are in the Privacy Policy.

Signature

Agree on everything now, not later

It takes twenty minutes and spares you the hard conversation nobody wants to have.
