📋 Hosted License Page

Every published contract gets a public URL at https://pacttailor.com/l/YOUR-SLUG. Buyers can read the full contract, check the provenance hash, and accept the terms — their name, email, IP address, and timestamp are recorded.

How to publish

1Generate your contract with the wizard.
2On the contract page, click Publish License Page.
3Choose a slug (or use the auto-generated one). Click Publish.
4Your license page is live. Share the URL or use the badge embed code.

Buyer acceptance flow

When a buyer visits your license page and clicks Accept License, PactTailor records:

✓Buyer name and email (optional)
✓IP address (for audit trail)
✓Timestamp (UTC)
✓Document hash at time of acceptance

View all acceptances on your Dashboard.

JSON-LD metadata (SEO)

Each hosted license page includes DigitalDocument JSON-LD schema and hreflang tags for discoverability.

🔒 Provenance Verification

Every PactTailor contract has a SHA-256 hash computed from the template, clause set, jurisdiction, and filled content. Use this hash to verify the document hasn't been tampered with.

Verify via API

GET https://pacttailor.com/api/verify?hash=SHA256_HASH
# Returns: { verified: true, contractId, templateSlug, version, generatedAt }

Provenance chain

The provenance_chain field in the JSON-LD export records every template version and clause hash in order, creating an immutable audit trail.
