> This is the Markdown of a Backed Help Centre page, https://admin.backed.giving/help/administrator/contracts/a-contract.md. Every page is listed at https://admin.backed.giving/help/llms.txt.

> This page uses Backed's default terms, such as Funding Round and Application Template. An organisation may rename them, so read each as your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.

A contract's page shows its details, its signatories and everything that has happened to it. The
`Actions` panel lists what you can do with it now.

Labels that name `Milestone` use your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.

## What you see

- `Details`: `Title`, `Contract Number`, `Contract Category`, `Contract Manager`, `Contract amount`,
  `Start date`, `End date`, `Bank account` and `Tags`. Select `Edit` beside a detail to change it.
  The `Contract amount` shows the contract's currency code, such as `NZD 48,500.00`.
- `Signatories`: each party's signatories and whether they are `Pending`, `Signed` or `Declined`.
  The `Details` tab also lists the contract's `Variations`, with any applied indexation among them
  by date, and its `Key dates`, such as a `Renewal notice date` and `Review dates`. At its foot, the `Automations` panel lists the last ten
  times an automation fired for the contract and what each action did; `Show all` opens the full
  log filtered to it. See [Automations](../communications/automations.md#log).
- `Milestones`: the milestones linked to the contract. On an indexed contract the table gains
  `Base`, `Uplift` and `Indexed`.
- `Obligations`: what the contract commits each party to, with its owner, due date and status.
  Select `Add obligation` to add one.
- `Versions`: every document version, such as the one frozen at send, the signed snapshot, and any
  uploaded or replaced document. Select `Download` on one.
- `History`: everything that has happened to the contract. `Export` saves it as a `CSV` or `Excel`
  file, using the filters the tab shows; you need `Can generate reports`. See
  [Export one record's history](../audit/audit-log.md#export-one-records-history).
- `Requests`: requests the applicant has made on this contract. See
  [Contract requests](contract-requests.md).
- `Conversation`, beside the contract's title: messages with the applicant about this contract.

## Sign and complete

- `Counter-sign Contract` adds your signature. Your profile signature is used. The signatories before
  you must sign first. Once the last administrator signs, the contract is executed.
- `Download Contract` downloads the current document.
- `Complete` marks the contract `Completed`.
- `Replace Contract` uploads a PDF that becomes the current document. Earlier versions are kept.

## Apply indexation

A contract with indexation terms shows `Indexation due` when a contract year is ready to apply.
Select `Apply indexation` to preview the year's new amounts and apply them. See
[Indexation of contract payments](../payments/indexation.md).

## Change the bank account

Open the bank account options to change it. With review enabled, a change needs a second person to
approve it: it shows `Change pending review` until then. See [Field reviews](field-reviews.md).

## Ask for a repayment

Select `Request repayment` to ask the grantee to return money, with the amount, a reason and a due
date. The `Repayments` panel lists each request with its remittance reference and status, and offers
`Record receipt` and `Waive`. See
[Ask a grantee to repay](../payments/refunds-and-corrections.md#ask-a-grantee-to-repay).

## Terminate or withdraw a contract

1. Select `Terminate Contract` or `Withdraw Contract`.
2. Give the `Reason`. Only administrators see it, and it is never printed in the letter.
3. Write the letter: choose a `Letter template` (its text is copied in; edits never change the
   template) and the `Letter Signatory`.
4. On `Review or send`, choose `Send the letter now` (it goes to the contract's signatories who are
   not administrators) or `Send for review`, where another administrator checks the letter and may
   edit it first. You can `Finish later`.

While this is under way the contract shows as terminating or withdrawing to administrators; its
signatories keep seeing the status it had. Withdrawing also stops any further signing. Until the
letter is sent, `Revert termination` returns the contract to its signed status, and
`Revert withdrawal` returns it to being drafted with every signature cleared.
