Are Electronic Signatures Legal Signatures?

Are Electronic Signatures Legal Signatures?

Yes, electronic signatures are legally binding and have the same legal significance as wet signatures. After the US Federal ESIGN Act was implemented, electronic signatures are recognized in all states of the United States. United Kingdom, Canada, and all European Union countries followed suit, allowing persons to sign documents electronically through eSignatures and digital signatures.

Can I Sign the Same Document Electronically and By Hand?

Yes, you can – but it is not necessary as both of these signatures have the same legal significance. You can also sign electronically without owning a digital certificate by simply handwriting your signature electronically on a document (you just write it down by hand, but you do it electronically). Banks and certain institutions use electronic devices to obtain handwritten signatures.

It only depends on how you want to work and how large your team or company is. You can have a solo license, a team license for five users, and even an enterprise license for more than ten users. 

If you’re a solo freelancer, you can opt for the Basic package, and if you’re a small company with just one delegated person, the Standard package might be a suitable option. However, if you’re a company with multiple teams, you might want to consider a Team or Enterprise license.

04

How do I purchase a license for my entire team?

Depending on your team’s size and needs, you can purchase a license that can be shared and used by everyone on your team: Team Licence – for teams of up to 5 users, and Enterprise license – for large teams with 10+ users.

05

Can I upgrade my license?

Yes, absolutely! Contact us, and we’ll simply deduct the amount you paid for the actual package with the price for the license you want, and you’re good to go! You can immediately use the upgraded version of the platform.
