Electronic signatures offer a great, convenient way to manage documents, agreements and contracts. Adding an electronic signature to a digitised document can be as easy as clicking a button. However, there’s more to e-signing than simply adding a signature.
Technically, an electronic signature can be any type of electronic data that links the signing party to the agreement they are signing. While there are many ways of adding an electronic signature to a document, not all methods are created equal. And, more importantly, not all methods are safe, secure or legally binding.
The three key elements for making an electronic signature legally binding are evidence of intent, identity and integrity.
The link between the content of the electronic document and your signature is evidence of your intent to enter into the agreement. Evidence of identity can be anything that ties an individual to the act of signing. This can range from the phone number or e-mail address to which the document is sent to more secure methods of identity verification such as using a recognised electronic identification means. Finally, integrity is evidence that the document is in its original form and has not been altered or tampered with after the signature was added. This is usually done by applying a digital signature to the document.
All three are required to make a document legally binding, so when using any service (free or paid), make sure evidence of these is provided with the signed document. For example, if a document includes a signature (intent) and a phone number (identity) but lacks evidence of integrity (such as a digital signature), you might not be able to legally enforce the terms of the contract if a dispute arises.
Scrive offers safe, secure and legally binding agreements. And it’s available at no cost using our free trial.
At Scrive, we set the world standard for quality of legal evidence saved with each signed document. We stand by the security and legal viability of all signatures created through our service.
The path to digitalisation may seem long, complex and expensive. But every journey starts with a single step. And with Scrive’s eSign Online you can get started quickly and easily. This step is immediately worth the effort in terms of gains in efficiency and cost savings, not to mention better customer experience and brand awareness.
With an electronic signature solution, you no longer need to rely on paper to sign contracts or enter agreements. You won’t need to keep track of paper duplicates and there’s no chance for an important contract to get lost in the mail. You no longer need to print, sign and scan to keep a digital copy of your document, and neither will the other signing parties.
Instead, you can simply upload your document as a PDF and add signing parties, and the document will get sent as a link to everyone who needs to sign, view or approve it. You can track the status of the document through our portal, and adding your signature to it is as simple as clicking a button.
The added convenience of electronic signatures and document management can increase the efficiency of your document management, ease the workload of your staff and delight your business partners. It also helps your organisation get in the head space of a completely digital workflow.
