Legal Solutions for Enterprise E-Signatures
Ensuring compliance, security, and enforceability for your critical legal documents.
The Legality of Electronic Signatures
ESIGN Act
The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act is a landmark federal law in the United States that grants legal recognition to electronic signatures. It ensures that contracts and records cannot be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because they are in electronic form.
UETA
The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) is a state-level law adopted by most U.S. states. UETA provides a comprehensive legal framework for electronic transactions and signatures, ensuring that electronic records and signatures carry the same legal weight as their paper counterparts, provided certain conditions are met.
International Compliance
Signova is committed to global compliance, adhering to international standards such as eIDAS (electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services) in the European Union. This ensures that electronic signatures executed through our platform are legally recognized and enforceable across various international jurisdictions, facilitating seamless global operations for enterprises.
