Smart Docs is a Pipedrive CRM Feature set that centralizes the entire documentation process, streamlines and automates how sales teams create, send, manage and sign quotes, proposals and contracts.
Accessing the Feature
By default, all Users of an Account who have an active Plan to the Smart Docs Feature can use it. The Smart Docs Feature is included in subscriptions for Enterprise and Professional Plans and can be purchased as an additional Feature on Essential and Advanced Plans. Enterprise and Professional Plan Users have access up to the specified number of eSignature Requests (a signature request sent from a User whether fully executed or not) in their corresponding Plan.
Canceling a eSignature Request
There is no expiration date on sent eSignature Requests and a User may cancel an eSignature Request at any stage prior to signing. In the event that a User cancels an eSignature Request, this will still be counted towards their corresponding monthly Plan, or Tier allowance.
Paying subscription
For Essential and Advanced Clients, admin users of Client only can purchase the Smart Docs Feature and select the tier.
eSignature Requests have to be used within a monthly billing cycle. Any unused eSignatures Requests remaining from the previous month cannot be rolled over to the new month.
If Client is on a monthly Pipedrive Plan and purchases a Feature, a prorated Fee will be applicable if Client starts the Feature on a different date than their monthly Plan.
If Client is on an annual Plan, the monthly allowance for eSignature Requests will be applicable, as included and specified in the selected tier.
Upgrading eSignature Requests
If a Client is hitting the tier/Plan limit of eSignatures Requests, the Client can either wait until the following month until its quantity of eSignature Requests resets, or upgrade to the next tier/ Plan immediately.
Downgrades Plans
Clients that downgrade from an Enterprise or Professional Plan to the Advanced or Essential Plan will lose access to the Feature. Clients may resubscribe to the Feature as outlined above.
Reasonable Usage
Pipedrive will closely monitor the usage of the Feature. If Pipedrive determines, in its sole discretion, that the Feature is being used for reselling or misused in any manner, Pipedrive reserves the right to suspend or terminate Clients use of the Feature.
Document Storage and Deletion
A User must have access to a Deal or contact within the Platform in order to see the documents associated with it. Client admin Users have access to all Deals, contacts and documents associated with their Account. Editable documents which are stored in a User’s connected drive (“Live Documents”) are not stored by Pipedrive. Only PDF versions of documents, which cannot be edited are stored by Pipedrive.
Pipedrive may delete an Account and Client Data, including without limitation, documents created via Smart Docs (whether complete or not), upon the expiration or termination of a Plan, or a Client Account. Signed documents processed through the Smart Docs Feature are retained in line with Pipedrive’s data retention policy as outlined at https://www.pipedrive.com/en/terms-of-service#9-2-duration -
Incomplete, or canceled documents are deleted either, three (3) months after the eSignature process is canceled by a User, or three (3) months after a Deal, contact, or document gets deleted by a User
