Retainer Agreement — FAQ
What is a retainer agreement?
A retainer agreement is a document you use when you're setting up an ongoing monthly retainer with a client. It puts the key terms in writing so both sides know exactly what was agreed — which is what protects you if there's ever a dispute.
Is a retainer agreement from SignedDocu legally binding?
Once both parties sign it, it's a binding agreement. SignedDocu gives you a professional, ready-to-sign starting point — it isn't legal advice, so for high-value or complex situations have a licensed attorney review it.
How much does it cost?
You can generate your first documents free with no credit card. Unlimited documents are $15/month — far less than the $35–60/month full CRMs charge.
Can I edit the retainer agreement after it's generated?
Yes. Fill in your details, tweak anything you want, then download it as a PDF, print it, or save it to your account to reuse later.
