SendNow Nda Gate

They sign before they see anything

Sending an NDA as a separate attachment and hoping it comes back signed is not a process. Attach the agreement to the document itself, and access becomes the enforcement.

The usual sequence is backwards

Most people send the NDA first, wait, chase it, receive a scan, file it somewhere, then send the actual document. Days pass. Half the time the document goes out before the signature arrives because the deal is moving and nobody wants to be the bottleneck.

By the time you notice the NDA was never returned, the deck has been read.

What the gate does

Nothing loads until they agree

The recipient sees your agreement text, types their name and email, and accepts. Only then does the document render. There is no "skip" and no preview.

The signature is tied to the view

Each acceptance is recorded against that specific view — name, email, and timestamp. You know precisely who agreed and when, and which session followed.

Your agreement text

Use your own NDA wording. Set a default across your account and override it per link when a particular deal needs different terms.

Stack it with other gates

Combine with email verification, a one-time code or a password when the document warrants more than one hurdle.

Works on every file type

PDFs, decks, spreadsheets, video — the gate sits in front of the viewer regardless of format.

Where it pays for itself

Fundraising — a deck that shouldn't circulate before terms are agreed
M&A and diligence — multiple bidders, each on record
Client work — proposals containing methodology you'd rather not see reused
Partnerships — technical or commercial detail shared before a contract exists
Recruiting — sharing internal material with senior candidates

Pair it with

[Dynamic watermarking](/dynamic-watermark) — the reader's email on every page, so a leak after signature is traceable
[Document analytics](/document-analytics) — who signed, then what they actually read
Expiry and view caps — access that ends when the process does

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about this solution and workflow.
Yes. The recipient reads your agreement, enters their name and email, and accepts. The document only renders after that.

Make the signature the key.

Attach your NDA to the document, not to a separate email.
