Is my electronic signature legally binding?

Asked 2 years ago
An electronic signature, such as those created using DocuSign, is generally considered legally binding in many jurisdictions, including the United States, under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, also known as the E-SIGN Act. Additionally, many countries have adopted similar legislation that recognizes electronic signatures as valid and enforceable, provided that certain conditions are met. For an electronic signature to be legally binding, it is important to ensure that the signer has the intention to sign, the electronic signature is associated with the relevant document, and the method of affixing the signature meets any applicable requirements for authentication. DocuSign employs strong security measures and authentication options, which enhance the validity of electronic signatures. Parties involved in a transaction should be aware of the specific legal requirements in their respective jurisdictions, as laws can vary. If there are any specific concerns regarding the legality of electronic signatures for particular documents or circumstances, it may be beneficial to consult legal advice. For more detailed information, it may also be useful to visit the official DocuSign website, where specific resources are available.
