Signing Qimtek NDAs With An Electronic Signature.

We are excited to announce that we have now streamlined the Non Disclosure Agreement process for our members. No more printing and scanning as you can now sign them using our new online electronic signature feature with just a couple of clicks. Hopefully you will find it easy to use, as well as saving you a lot of time when working on our leads, but just in case, here is a quick guide on how to do this. 

REQUEST THE NDA

Navigate to the RFQ, within the download drawings section you will find a new button ’REQUEST E-SIGNATURE’ in place of the old download NDA button. Click this to receive an email with the document to sign. 

CONFIRM REQUEST

A pop up box will appear, Click OK, leaving  you with another pop up confirming the NDA has been sent to you by email. After signing, when you return to this page you will need to refresh the browser to update your account.

CHECK YOUR EMAIL

You will receive an email from [email protected] which will have a ‘Review and Sign’ button that you will need to click. This will take you to a web page, displaying the agreement which has been prepopulated with your company details. 

E-SIGN THE NDA

From here, click on the start signing button on the top right, then you simply tick the box to agree to the terms and conditions and then click continue. Once completed, you will receive an email with the signed document attached and a link to view it online.

DRAWINGS RELEASED

This process is now completed and all you need to do is to go back into your Qimtek dashboard to download your drawings and related documents. Remember you may need to refresh the page for them to appear. 

Notes:

We hope you like this improvement and welcome feedback on this or any other idea that you have to help us improve your experience with Qimtek and if you need help please reach out to a member of the team on 01256 394 500 or [email protected]

  1. Notification: When you have requested the e-signature NDA email, there will be a new notification on your dashboard so that other members of your team using the platform can see this. 
     
  2. How long until I get access: Signing NDAs electronically is now an automated system. This means that you do not need to wait for one of the team to manually approve your document (so they can use this time to find even more projects for you). Once you have electronically signed your document you should be able to access them via your Qimtek dashboard within a couple of minutes, if not instantly. 
     
  3. Exceptions: There will be some RFQs where the buyer has requested that we use their own NDA rather than the generic Qimtek document. For these projects you will still have to download, sign and send back to the team on [email protected].
     
  4. New RFQs Only: The new electronic signature feature will only apply to new RFQs posted on or after 24th June 2024. Anything earlier, you will still need to download, sign and send back to the team on [email protected].
