The name entered here will appear on the contract, so it is important to use the Contractor’s legal name as it appears on their W-9. If they are doing business under a different name, this field should include their legal name followed by the name they are doing business under, with the letters, “d/b/a” in between.

If the Vendor Legal Entity name is not the name of the signatory for the contract, then enter the name and contact information of whoever will be signing the contract for the vendor where specified. This should be somebody with authority to bind the contracting entity legally, like a Principal or CEO, rather than a salesperson or clerical staff. Please select the, “Add Another Signer” button if there is more than one vendor signer and enter their information in the additional fields that populate.

These three fields need to be filled out when the legal signer is not the person who will serve as primary point of contact for the project. The VPOC is the vendor agent managing the project/service. This is usually a sales representative or project manager. The contract will be sent for signature to the signer, but the VPOC will be cc’d.

Please enter the legal mailing address as you would like it to appear in the “Notices,” section of the contract. This is not necessarily the same as the billing address. This will be used for any legal notices sent during the contract.
