What makes a signature legal




















The U. The world's largest companies rely on RightSignature, and users have executed millions of contracts using RightSignature. You can sign legally binding contracts online and even from your phone. With RightSignature you can upload contracts and have them signed in a faster, cheaper, and more secure way than paper documents.

These e-signature laws are intended to encourage the rapid adoption of digital signatures and decrease the use of antiquated paper methods. Under E-SIGN, a contract "may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because an electronic signature or electronic record was used in its formation. Similarly, under Section 7 d of UETA, if a law requires a signature, an electronic signature satisfies the law.

While these e-signature laws reinforce the validity of many types of electronic agreements, the laws do not cover certain types of documents, such as statutes, regulations, or other rules of laws governing wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, adoption, divorce, or other matters of family law, certain commercial transactions, certain court documents, and certain notices, generally do not affect substantive requirements of otherwise applicable substantive law, and contain requirements for creating enforceable agreements.

One of the primary criteria for a valid e-signature is whether the e-signature evidences a clear intent by the signatory to sign. RightSignature's capture of a real handwritten signature provides evidence of the signer's intent to execute the document. Furthermore, RightSignature's second-generation handwritten signature capture technology addresses potential legal issues that may arise with first-generation click-to-sign systems, because handwritten signatures cannot be inadvertently affixed to contracts and uniquely identify a signer whereas click-to-sign buttons can easily be inadvertently clicked and clicked by others who have access to a signer's computer or smartphone.

Under E-SIGN and UETA, a compliant electronic signature must be an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record. RightSignature locks down the executed document with the signature record and produces a Signature Certificate that includes the handwritten signature graphic and an auditable activity log.

In addition, when you use our drag-and-drop signature boxes, RightSignature places the handwritten signature at the appropriate locations inside the document. E-SIGN allows electronic documents and records with electronic signatures to comply with statutes, regulations, or other rules of law that require that information relating to a transaction or transactions in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce be provided or made available to a consumer in writing if the consumer has provided affirmative consent to such use and has not withdrawn the consent, and the consumer, prior to consenting, receives a clear and conspicuous statement of certain information and provides certain consents.

RightSignature users may address the E-SIGN disclosure and consent requirements by enabling a Consumer Disclosure Page for each document and requiring other parties to consent to certain terms prior to executing contracts. RightSignature also allows potential signatories the ability to opt out from receiving or executing electronic contracts. After signing, RightSignature secures your executed document with a complex hash algorithm to ensure the permanent record is tamper-proof.

Digital contracts. One platform for all departments, all types of contracts. With that, this is not truly necessary in all cases. All one would need is a mark that represents who that person is.

It can be in the following forms:. As long as the signature represents who that person is and his or her intent, any of the marks are considered valid and legally binding. Signatures are usually recorded in pen, but this is not always the case. A signature may be issued by anything that marks on paper. The pencil is not the ideal choice because it can erase or be smudged, but signatures made in pencil are just as valid as signatures based in pen. Signatures can be issued in digital form or via stamps because there are various forms of writing implementations.

If you cannot sign an agreement on your own, you can give it to another party who can sign documents on your behalf. However, a signature is not always necessary to bind an agreement, but when signatures are necessary, whether it is in e-form depends entirely on the consent and intent of the parties involved.
