Are contracts signed electronically enforceable?

For most commercial contracts, yes. In the United States the ESIGN Act and UETA give electronic signatures the same effect as ink when the signer intends to sign and consents to electronic records. Details and exceptions are on is an electronic signature legally binding.

Can both companies get an original?

Yes. When the last person signs, every party receives the same sealed PDF with the audit certificate. Each copy can be checked on the verify page, so there is no question about which version is the final one.

Can I send a contract with several documents?

Yes. One envelope can carry the agreement, its schedules and a data processing addendum. Signers go through all documents in one session.

What if the other side wants changes?

A signer can decline with a reason, which stops the envelope. You correct the document and send a new envelope. Negotiation and redlining happen before sending, since a document that is out for signature is fixed.

How many contracts can we send?

Starter includes 50 envelopes a month, Plus 500 and Pro 2,000. One envelope is one sending, whatever the number of signers.

A signature on a contract matters most on the day someone says they never agreed. The certificate attached to each PDF shows when the document was opened, that the signer consented to electronic records, when they signed, from which IP address and browser, and the fingerprint of the exact text.

Read what is recorded on the electronic signature audit trail page, and the legal background in the ESIGN Act and UETA guide. Some documents, such as wills and court orders, are outside eSignature laws and should not be sent this way.

Plans start at $24 a month billed yearly for 3 seats. See pricing or the product overview on the homepage.
