A contract that respects both sides of the door.

Signing a lease is an emotional event, and the tooling around it in Europe usually pretends it isn't. You get a PDF sent by a link, you click a "sign here" button, DocuSign wraps the whole thing in its enterprise chrome, and a copy lands in your inbox with the composition sensibility of a legal invoice.

We built ours differently on purpose.

What the signing flow looks like

You open the contract in-browser. It's typeset in the app, not embedded as a PDF the way DocuSign does — that means the fonts, the line-length, and the hierarchy are set by us. The clauses that carry legal weight are set apart with a copper anchor bar in the margin. The rest reads like a document a human wrote for another human.

You scroll to the end. The signature step doesn't unlock until you do, because reading a lease all the way through is not optional and the tooling should behave like it.

You tick three consent boxes. Confirm you read the lease. Confirm you agree to the terms. Confirm you understand the deposit rules.

You sign on a canvas — mouse, touch, stylus. The canvas captures your strokes, not a rasterized image, so the signature scales without losing the specimen fidelity we verified during onboarding.

We ship the signed document to your inbox, PDF, with the audit trail attached.

What the audit trail actually contains

For every signature we record:

The SHA-256 hash of the exact document version you signed. This is the mechanism that catches "wait, the contract I have looks different from the one they have" — the hash either matches or it doesn't.
The stroke count and duration of the signature. A signature that arrives in twelve milliseconds is a paste, not a sign. Territorium refuses those.
The screen resolution and timezone you signed from. Not for surveillance — for the specific case where a court needs to establish where a signing happened.
The three consent timestamps. Each box has its own moment.
Your specimen match score against the reference signature from onboarding. Below a threshold, the signing pauses and you get asked to try again.

Every element is stored server-side, in the region where the property sits, retained for the statutory period of that jurisdiction, and attached as an appendix to the PDF that lands in both inboxes.

Why we don't use DocuSign

DocuSign is excellent for enterprise procurement. It is expensive per signature, it renders the document inside its own chrome, and its audit trail is designed to be presented as evidence in an American court. None of those things are what a European lease needs.

We wanted the document to look like it belongs to Territorium and to the two people signing it. We wanted the audit trail to be readable by a person, not a paralegal. We wanted the per-signature cost to be zero, so it never got passed to tenants as a "convenience fee."

The right tool for a lease is a lease-specific tool. So we built one.

The signing surface is the one screen in the app where we ask you to slow down. Everything else — search, application, payment — is optimized to remove friction. The signing screen adds it back on purpose. A lease is worth two minutes of stillness before you sign.
