Unlimited Viewer Seats - Bring Everyone Into the Contract, for Free
Unlimited Viewer Seats is a ContractControl power module that lets you invite every reviewer, stakeholder, customer, and auditor for free. Unlimited read, comment, and approval seats, fully audited and scoped to exactly what each person should see. Legacy CLMs charge per seat, so the people who should be in the contract end up on email instead - ContractControl takes that tax off the table.
Unlimited Viewer Seats is part of the ContractControl CLM platform. Explore all power modules or book a demo to see it in action.
Invite everyone who needs to see, not just the ones you can afford
Finance, procurement, external counsel, even the customer counterparty - anyone who needs visibility gets it the moment you decide, without a procurement request or a budget approval. Viewers can read documents, contracts, and document hubs, comment on ongoing contracts and flag concerns in context, be assigned as contract responsible without paying for a seat, and receive signature and review requests directly in their workflow. Stakeholders see redlines and approve in real time, so reviews move from days to hours.
Free, but not loose
Unlimited does not mean ungoverned. Every view, comment, and approval is logged, showing who opened a document, what they read, what they commented, and when they approved, and it is exportable as a counter-signed PDF for your deal file. Every viewer is scoped, audited, and revocable.
Key features
- Scoped, not blanket: Grant access to a single contract, a folder, or a workspace. Viewers see only what you decide they need.
- Comment and approve: Viewers can leave comments, post questions, and tick off approvals, without needing an editor licence.
- Time-boxed access: Set expiry on signing, on a date, or after a number of days of inactivity. Access auto-revokes.
- Watermarked previews: Optional per-viewer watermarks (name, IP, timestamp) on every page they see, to discourage screenshots and support auditing.
- Full audit trail: Every view, comment, download, and approval logged, exportable as a counter-signed PDF for any deal file.
- SSO and AD provisioning: Provision viewers automatically from your IdP and off-board the same way, so access leaves with them.
