Quartz for Contract Authoring

Solution

Highlights

The contract authoring process involves frequent revisions and updates from different parties which increase the likelihood of intentional or accidental errors, which can cause significant issues during contract enforcement. In case of legal disputes, it becomes difficult to track each update and identify the party that tampered with the document.
Quartz ensures secure and transparent contract authoring by implementing a private, permissioned blockchain where departments act as nodes with specific privileges.
Every change is recorded with user and timestamp information, with finalized contract sections stored cryptographically on the blockchain, ensuring they are tamper-proof.

Abstract

Leveraging distributed ledger technology, the Quartz for Contract Authoring enables organizations to author tamper-proof contract terms with all connected entities having access to the same version, effectively reducing the risk of fraud.

Challenge

In a typical contract authoring process, multiple departments within a contracting firm collaborate to draft and vet the clauses and sections of the contract. This process involves numerous rounds of revisions and updates, which may lead to errors, such as incorrect modifications or overlooked edits. These mistakes can further lead to significant issues when the contract is enforced, potentially resulting in litigation between the parties involved. The situation is further complicated by the difficulty in tracking each update and identifying who made the changes in case of a legal dispute.

Solution

A private, permissioned blockchain ecosystem wherein individual departments are connected as nodes, with privileges assigned to access and update specific sections of the contract will enable organizations to ensure greater transparency in contract authoring operations.

By leveraging Quartz Smart Solution for Contract Authoring, organizations can access the contract, with all the clauses and sections stored on blockchain, and the entire authoring process is carried out by smart contracts on the distributed ledger. The solution ensures that every change made to the contract is captured with user and time stamp information. The finalized version of the contract is cryptographically stored on the blockchain, thereby ensuring that it is tamper-proof.

Benefits

Greater transparency by providing all parties with a real-time view of contract clauses and sections.
Comprehensive audit trail ensuing end-to-end tracking of all changes to contract terms and conditions.
Tamper-proof contract terms with all connected entities having access to the same version, effectively reducing the risk of fraud.
Standardized templates comprising multiple clauses and sections. Contracts can be efficiently generated by cloning these templates on the blockchain.
Ensures data confidentiality by restricting access so that each node or department only views the clauses and sections relevant to them.
Robust administration and monitoring of the ecosystem through the Quartz Command Center.
