With Pactolane, you invite your counterparty to negotiate the contract online through a secure link: they propose their changes in track changes and add comments, without creating an account, and you accept, reject or counter each change.Each proposal shows its author and date, and the final document incorporates the accepted changes. Included from the Team plan.
You invite the counterparty by email and choose what they can do: edit, comment or propose changes. The secure link is valid for 30 days.
Additions in green, deletions struck through in red, replacements, with the author and time of each change. The counterparty can withdraw or correct their own proposals.
Accept, reject with a reason, counter with alternative wording, or accept everything at once. The counterparty is notified of every decision.
From the contract page: email, name, role, message and permissions granted. They receive a secure link and confirm their address with a one-time code.
They select a passage, propose an addition, deletion or replacement, add comments, then submit all their proposals at once.
Each proposal can be accepted, rejected or met with a counterproposal. The final version incorporates what was accepted and is exported with its audit trail.
A secure link valid for 30 days and a one-time code. Your counterparty installs nothing and creates no account.
Edit, comment or propose changes: you grant only what each negotiation needs.
Insertions, deletions and replacements, each with its author and date, in an online editor.
Decisions proposal by proposal, rejection reasons, counterproposals or bulk actions.
Discussion threads anchored to the text, with mentions. Your internal comments can stay hidden from the counterparty.
Participants on the document are shown live, both on your side and on the counterparty's side.
Every proposal and decision as they happened, then a final document exported as PDF with its audit trail.
A history of concessions made and obtained, contract by contract, to prepare your next negotiation. Growth and Scale plans.
Redlining is the practice of proposing changes directly in the text of a contract, making additions and deletions visible so that the other party sees exactly what is changing. In Pactolane, redlining happens online: every insertion, deletion or replacement shows its author and date, and each proposal can be accepted, rejected or met with a counterproposal.
Your counterparty does not need to create a Pactolane account to negotiate: they receive a secure link by email, valid for 30 days, and confirm their address with a one-time code before accessing the contract. They install nothing and download no files to work. When you send the invitation, you choose what they can do: edit, comment or propose changes.
In Pactolane, you respond to each change proposed by the counterparty by accepting it, rejecting it or proposing different wording, directly in the online contract. Each proposal appears in the text and in the list of proposals, with its author and date: once accepted, it is incorporated into the contract; if rejected, it can carry a reason; a counterproposal goes back to the counterparty for review. You can also accept or reject everything at once. The counterparty is notified of every decision.
In Pactolane, your internal comments can be hidden from the counterparty: your team discusses strategy on the same document, without your partner reading those exchanges. Internally, all comments remain visible, along with the timeline of proposals and decisions. For work across your own teams, see our collaboration page.
A contract under negotiation in Pactolane can be downloaded as PDF or Word (DOCX), with or without the proposed changes. Once the negotiation is over, the final version incorporates all accepted changes and is exported as PDF with its full audit trail, then the contract continues its lifecycle through to signature.
To prepare a negotiation in Pactolane, you analyze the counterparty's contract with your playbook, which places each clause between your preferred position and your red line. On the Growth and Scale plans, negotiation memory keeps the history of concessions made and obtained, and PactAI can extract these concessions from the contract text, so you start from facts rather than recollections.
Pactolane's external negotiation is included from the Team plan (€149 per month excl. VAT, 7-day free trial). The Growth (€499 per month excl. VAT) and Scale (from €2,500 per month excl. VAT) plans add negotiation memory and PactAI. Full details are on our pricing page.
Free trial on the Team (7 days) and Growth (14 days) plans.
