Frequently asked questions
Are electronic signatures legal?
Yes, electronic signatures are just as legally binding as wet ink. Signeasy is compliant with all major electronic signature laws and legislation, including eIDAS regulation in the EU and the ESIGN Act in the United States. Also Since the introduction of the Electronic Communications Act of 2000, electronic signatures have been legal, admissible, and enforceable in the UK.
Are electronic signatures safe?
Electronic signatures are safer than traditional documents. Along with the signature, they have verifiable details on who signed the document, when they signed it, and where. Changes made to contracts after signing are easily detectable, and that's far more powerful and efficient than your typical paper-based trade. Electronic signatures are tamper-proof and can be archived. eSignatures provide biometric and two-factor authentication to protect both sender and receiver from fraudulent activities.
