Send the release. Get it back signed. Keep it somewhere you can find it.

Your guest gets a link, reads the document, types their name. You get a PDF with their signature and a certificate recording when they signed, from where, and a fingerprint of the exact text they agreed to.

What happens

Once

Your legal name, your show, your signature. Everything the document needs except the guest.

Each guest

A name and an email address. The release goes out with a note in your own words.

They sign

In the browser. No account, no app, no printer, no scanner.

You keep it

The signed PDF sits in your account, privately, with the certificate attached.

$5 a month, unlimited guests

The first release you send is free, and it is a whole release rather than a week of access. Your guest decides when they sign, not you, so a clock could run out through no fault of yours with a half-signed document sitting there. Counting guests cannot do that.

  • Unlimited guests
  • Guests sign in the browser, no account needed
  • Countersigned PDFs stored and downloadable
  • Cancel anytime

About the document itself

One standard release. Leave clauses out to narrow what your guest agrees to, or paste in your own lawyer’s wording instead.

There is an optional clause about AI, off by default. It allows transcription and editing tools, and stops anyone cloning your guest’s voice without their separate written permission. You can also name which country’s law applies, or leave it blank.

What it does not cover
  • Can the guest take it back later?No. Once it is signed it stays signed, and there is no end date.
  • Can they pull out before the episode goes live?Not under this release. Nothing in it lets a guest withdraw once they have signed.
  • Do they get to approve the edit?No. You can edit without going back to them, as long as the edit does not misrepresent what they meant.
  • Does it promise them a copy?No, though you can send them the signed PDF yourself.
  • Does it cover what you recorded and did not publish?No. Unaired material is not covered either way.

If you need any of these, paste in wording from your own lawyer under "your own wording". We do not write legal clauses ourselves.

We are not lawyersWe are not a law firm and this is not legal advice. Using Paperwork does not make us your lawyer. This is a standard release rather than a document written for your circumstances: we do not check it against the law where you or your guest live, and we do not check whether it fits what you are doing. If anything about this matters, have a lawyer read it before you send it.

If your guest is in the UK or the EU and you are not paying them, a release signed in a browser may not be binding there, and we have nothing that fixes it. Those guests are a job for a solicitor.
