Frequently Asked Questions
Is a DocuSign signature legally equivalent to a handwritten signature?
Yes, under the ESIGN Act and UETA in the United States, as well as eIDAS in the EU, electronic signatures carry the same legal weight as wet-ink signatures when specific intent is established.
How does the audit trail protect me in a payment dispute?
