[Legal] How to handle Legal Agreements

Non disclosure agreements, waivers, permission forms - it's all part and parcel of research

Updated over a week ago

πŸ“œ A super common question we get is "How do I get my participants to sign an NDA?" or something to that effect.

When to send? - You can either send it before the session or during the session

Methods to send Legal Agreements

  1. Automate your agreements

    With our ✨ BRAND NEW Legal Feature ✨ you can now leave the heavy-lifting of sending agreements to us

  2. Message the participant


    ​Askable Messages doesn't currently support the uploading of documents. But you can share a link to any online form host such as Google Docs, Office 365, Dropbox etc.
    ​
    This link could also be to a signature capture software such as Docusign, Hellosign etc. This is highly recommended as it is much more automated and easier for participants.
    ​
    Using our Bulk Message function allows you to do this very quickly and easily to multiple people too.

  3. Email the participant


    You can find the emails of participants when you go into your Message Chat with them and then look at the top right of screen. There it is!
    ​
    From there, you can email any agreements for sign off on your email platform.
    ​
    ​

  4. Sign during session


    This is often used for In Person interviews, but can be done for Remote also fairly easily.
    ​
    If doing in person, having a paper copy ready for signature is the easiest option.
    ​
    If doing a Remote Video Call, emailing them at the start of the session or sending a message via the Messages area is the easiest way of doing this. This is a proven way of ensuring they sign it too.
