When the shareholder requests SAFE agreements, the company must assign executors to sign them. Once the agreement has been signed, the shareholder can download it. 

Note: The agreements only apply to SAFEs and are not available for convertible notes. 

The SAFE agreements are only available for premium account holders. To unlock this feature, kindly upgrade your account

Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: You will receive an email informing the agreement has been signed and can be downloaded.
