Termination by E Mail

​@RSracer66 

If you send an email outside of the Docusign, then the Docusign eSignature workflow is not affected. Being a recipient you can only decline to sign when your have an action on the document pending. Once signed you are not able to change your mind and revoke the signature in Docusign. If the sender is the last signer and has not yet completed his signature, he may not do so, if he received and read your email in time.

You can reach out to the sender and inform him about our change of mind not to sign the contract, as you cannot terminate a contract, which has not been fully signed. However, it sounds like everyone signed the contract, so you could not be in the position to terminate it. If an email is enough to terminate a contract and to which date will depends on the local law under which the contract was signed.  The sender can cancel the contract as a gesture of goodwill, but you need to contact him independently from Docusign, where a legally binding contract was signed.
