Usage & add-ons
| onSign overage | £2-4 / execution | Metered beyond your plan’s included pool, billed automatically on monthly plans. |
| Identity (KYC) signing | ~£3-5 / execution | Metered pass-through. Never marked up beyond cost-recovery plus a thin margin. |
| Qualified (QES) signing | metered € / signature | eIDAS-qualified via a QTSP, billed as an explicit pass-through. Contact sales. |
| Agentic dispute resolution (roadmap) | flat £25 / agent-resolved | Flat escalation fee plus arbitrator pass-through. No percentage take-rate, ever. |
| Verify-API | commodity metered | Priced defensively. The corpus is CC-BY and reproducible by anyone, so verification stays cheap by design. |
How we keep it fair
onTerms only works if the standard stays neutral. We monetise the rails, never the trust.
- Verifying an agreement is free for humans, forever. The badge is a public good, not a tollbooth.
- Incorporation-by-reference is free at every tier. The standard never needs our rails to be used.
- Disputes are billed at flat, cost-recovery rates. Never a percentage of the outcome.
- Real-cost items (KYC, QES) are explicit metered pass-throughs, so no plan is silently underwater.
The standard itself stays open
The onTerms corpus is published under CC-BY-4.0 and stewarded by an independent council. The company funds the council at arm’s length, publicly disclosed and capped. Corporate sustaining memberships fund the commons, so the text can never be held hostage to the rails.
