Overview
New legal entities and entity roles within Docs are created and updated by FIA Tech Client Services. To add a new Docs party, or to amend the available roles for an existing entity, a completed Docs Adherence Agreement, available on the Docs Onboarding Page must be sent in hard copy to FIA Tech.
Completing the Docs Adherence Agreement
The Docs Adherence Agreement must be completed and a hard copy sent into FIA Tech in order for an entity to start using the system to view and sign give-up agreements electronically within Docs. Under the "System User" heading on the Docs Adherence Agreement, firms should specify their legal entity name exactly as they want it to appear on agreements signed in Docs. The hard copy should be sent to:
Docs Documentation
FIA Technology Services Inc.
6000 27th St. N
Arlington, VA 22207-1233
FIA Tech will contact the specified Docs Administrator upon receipt of the Docs Adherence Agreement, and provide log in credentials and training information to new users as needed.
Individual or group training sessions via webinar can be coordinated with the Docs Client Services Team. In the coming months, we will also begin hosting monthly, multi-firm webinars as an introduction, or refresher on system functionalities.
Additionally, all new users of the system have to accept the Docs System User Agreement upon accessing the system for the first time.
Storage Feature
Within the Docs Adherence Agreement, firms must specify whether to use the storage feature, with details of functionality and pricing listed below. Buy-side firms (Customer and Trader roles) electing to not use the storage feature are not charged for system use, noting the differences in functionality below:
Non-Storage: Firms electing to not use the Storage Feature will have access to all in-flight (ie. non-executed or terminated) agreements within the system, with the ability to amend, approve, and/or reject workstreams on in-flight agreements. Non-storage firms will not be able to initiate agreements, or access Executed or Terminated agreements after 7 days following agreement execution.
Storage: Full access to historical and in-flight agreements, and ability to initiate agreements. Fees are based on a tiered structure of stored agreements, detailed in the below link:
Note: All Sell-Side (Broker) firms are required to maintain Storage in Docs.
