# Quote types: Classic, Clauses, Sales Room

> Differences and when to use each of the three formats.

Arya offers three quote types. The choice depends on commercial context, industry and required formality level.

## Classic

</Frame>

**What it is**: A static PDF, professionally laid out — the typical commercial offer.

**When to use**:

* Responses to formal requests (tenders, RFPs)
* Customers who expect a traditional document
* When qualified e-signature isn't needed

**Features**:

* Single column layout
* Classic lines, subtotals, totals
* Header/footer with workspace brand
* Downloadable and printable PDF

## Clauses

</Frame>

**What it is**: A proper contract with **mandatory or optional clauses** the customer accepts individually and **signs digitally**.

**When to use**:

* Sales with detailed legal conditions (SLA, NDA, penalties)
* Regulated sectors (finance, construction, healthcare)
* When legally binding signature is required (FEA or QES)
* Multi-year contracts

**Features**:

* Manageable clauses: mandatory (must accept), optional (customer chooses)
* Qualified electronic signature via SPID (Italian digital ID), CIE, CNS, qualified certificate
* Advanced electronic signature via email OTP (less robust legally, often sufficient)
* Full audit trail: date, time, IP, device, document hash
* Each clause signed individually if configured
