Digital Agreement Signing

Imagine a scenario in which you have to negotiate an agreement with a company in a country on the other side of the world. The entire process of printing, signing, booking etc. takes days or even weeks. Once the recipient receives the documents, they repeat the same printing, signing and post process. This back-and-forth process will take a long time. On the other hand, you can conclude an agreement in minutes with e-signatures. Many legal systems do not even require written signatures for a valid contract – they are valid if both parties reach an agreement, whether they accept it orally, electronically or by signing a sheet of paper. However, evidence is sometimes required in court to prove your case, which is why we always recommend that you use a written signature. You can use an electronic signature tool that allows you to sign a document with the click of a mouse or draw your signature with the mouse on a digital document. The existence of such a signature on a document may give it legal status (stronger or weaker) depending on various factors that you will read later in the guide.

You can send signature documents from anywhere and be received from anywhere. Electronic contracts should not get bogged down simply because you or the signatory are on the way.
