Everyone knows that India is becoming digital and great initiatives have been taken by our PM. E-Signatures are legally valid in India, and businesses can use it without any doubt.Requirements for validityThe Information Technology Act, 2000 provides for the adoption of e signatures and acknowledges two forms of e-signs as having similar legal acceptance as pen-and-paper signatures. These forms specifically acknowledged under the IT Act include:E signatures which incorporate an Aadhaar ID with an electronic Know-Your-Customer (eKYC) method.Digital signatures which are created by an “asymmetric crypto-system and hash function”. For such signatures, the signer is usually issued a long-term certificate-based digital identity number, stored on a USB token, which is used to place a sign on a document.For the above forms of electronic signatures to be legitimate, they must satisfy these further conditions.The signatory of the e signature must be uniqueAt the point of signing, the signatory should be in control of the data employed to generate the e-sign.Any tamper with the signature, or the form to which the signature is placed, must be easily detectable.There must be an audit trail of procedures followed during the signing process.Signer certificates should only be granted by the signNowing Authority.If all these conditions are followed, then there is an obvious legal belief in favor of the legality of any document signed using e-signatures.However there are some documents which Indian law prohibits to be signed electronically. Here is the list of it.Any document listed by the government of India on the official gazettePower of attorneyTrust deedsA will and other forms of testamentary dispositionNegotiable documents such as bills of exchange, drafts, promissory notes and moreDocuments involving any sale of immovable property such as real estateTo learn more about technical and legal overview of electronic signatures in India, Read this article - Electronic Signatures India - Technical & Legal Overview | signNow

Although every state has passed laws that involve e-signatures, under the federal ESIGN Act, your electronic signature on a .pdf is just as valid as your physical signature. The ESIGN Act provides that a contract or signature “may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form.” This simple statement means that electronic signatures and records are just as good as their paper equivalents, and therefore subject to the same legal scrutiny of authenticity and burden of proof standards that apply to paper documents. So unless your signature was forged, given under duress, or you refused to sign via electronic means (or there's some other reason to invalidate the contract), the executed .pdf copy may be enforced against you.

Sometimes we really don’t understand what we mean under “best”, even this question doesn’t elaborate what the best service means? Which criteria the author believes the service fits the best? price?best design? Reliability?Let’s better talk about “suitable” for this moment and current needs.As the previous answers mentioned, do you need the service to be available on all major platforms or a signature that will stand up in court?Do you need a free simple solution, a feature-rich service that charges on the amount of signatures/documents signed or on monthly basis?Do you need to work with your documents on the go with low or no internet connection (while travelling, in the airport or plane)?And you can ask yourself with tons of such questions to create a matrix of features-service to choose the one you need. Or you can use 3rd party platforms like Alternativeto to initially select the provider you are interested in.When we conducted a closed beta testing for signNow recently, one of the goals was to understand the main criterias SMB owners from US use to choose a solution or switch to another one.We interviewed more than 230 businesses and what’s interesting, while the top factor goes to Security&data privacy, price or for example, digital signature availability is not in Top-3 of choices. Speed of an app/solution and multiplatform availability (works in web browser as well as on Mac, iPhone/iPad, Android and Windows devices) are what values higher.So, if there is a need to sign/send documents on Mac, iphone/ipad, android, windows and web browser and to work with documents offline, signNow is alternative to go with. We are still in beta, implementing some major requests from our beta users, but will be launching this September.And, signNow is free while in beta.

Most importantly, we will grow from where we are today (about 1% of all contracts signed on the web) to 50%+ (the majority) in 4-6 years.  The broader market will grow 50x, and with that, the market will fundamentally change.At a product/technical level, there will be at least 3 important evolutions as the % of contracts signed on the web that we see at EchoSign:Seamless web workflow (integrations).  Today, it's still relatively nichey to, for example, create a document in Google Docs or pull a form from DropBox or Box.net, review/edit/collaborate on the document, send it out to get signed, and then have it all stored on the web, in the cloud.  In 3-5 years, the entire contracting workflow and process will be 100% web and cloud based.100% web-based contract.  Today, only a minority of e-signed contracts are created purely on the web.  Instead, most contracts are still local content - a local PDF, or a local Word document.  In 3-5 years, the contract will be 100% web-based and completely abstracted from not only paper, but from an off-line contract creation process.  This makes e-signatures a requisite, not optional, part of the contracting process.Dramatically more functionality.  From a functionality perspective, the solutions and market are still at a nascent stage.  As the market grows 50x in the next few years, the demands for functionality will grow 50x.  Whether it's basic things like HTML5 support for e-signing on the iPad, or tailoring the electronic signature experience in real-time based on the country the signer is in, or bigger changes, like true web-based contract collaboration, the bar will continue to go up.Because of this, the market is likely to end up with "2.5" leading players.  E-signatures and e-contracting are too nuanced, and require too much workflow and too high a level of user-specific functionality, to become just a feature of another solution.  The level of solution complexity certainly is not as high as standalone CRM, for example (where competing with Salesforce.com at this point is impractical), but it is much higher than simple web apps (e.g., document or content storage) or even web conferencing/collaboration (WebEx/GoToMeeting/etc.).  The solutions also benefit from scale and users, but do not have a true network effect.  Also, electronic signatures have a signNow legal component, which creates challenges to immature products.Thus, 4-5 years out (perhaps not 3), we are likely to see (x) e-signatures having become the primary way contracts are signed, period, with (y) a few leaders (a la WebEx and GoToMeeting) whose products are deeply integrated with, but not subsumed by, the workflows and integrations of the web, along with a few smaller players with niche offerings and relatively small customer bases.

I've thought about this since about 2006.As not only a co-founder and CEO of EchoSign, but a Salesforce customer for many years, you do wonder why everything isn't included.  Salesforce is the single largest software expense a sales-focused company will make.  Why doesn't it include e-signatures?  Why doesn't it have real lead scoring?  Why not a sales comp tool?  Why not real drip email marketing?  Why not a more robust email tool, period?  Why not robust de-duping?  Why only a basic quoting tool, not a rich proposal tool?  Why only limited content management tools?  There are so many Why don'ts? that that may be the answer right there ... so my simple answer is Salesforce is focused on its core and strategic expansions to its core, historically to the present.Having said that, there are at least 3 practical reasons:1.  First, e-signatures have a signNow legal element to them.   It's one thing for a start-up to claim their document signing tool is 100% legally E-SIGN complaint and binding under federal, state, European and international law.  It's quite another thing for a Fortune 500 company to take that on.  signNow did in acquiring EchoSign -- and that's not trivial.  It's a big deal.  No other F500 company has done this.  Ever.2.  Second, it's all about the workflow at this point. EchoSign and signNow are 100x richer products than they were 5 years ago, and Salesforce integration only increases that geometrically.  Neither product is just about document signing.  For example, Groupon has over 36,000 different contract generation/review/signature/workflow/trigger combinations using EchoSign. The signature is just the connecting piece.  This is really hard to replicate without a huge effort.  It can be done, but it's many years of effort and building 1000s of features.  Not just a JPEG of a signature.3. Is it really core? Historically contracts and signing them have been related to the core of CRM, but not really core. And Salesforce has often focused on building adjacent to the core (Support, Markering, Chatter, etc.) even more than the well built-out core CRM/SFA.Having said that, what if SFDC does decide to enter the space?  Given the complexity in #2, it makes a lot more sense to buy than build. There are only two serious players -- EchoSign and signNow.  There are other very tiny players, but their Salesforce integrations, if they exist, are rudimentary from a workflow perspective and not fully enterprise-ready, at least not today.  Ok so EchoSign and signNow ... EchoSign was acquired by signNow in 2011, so acquiring EchoSign per se is off the table.  Salesforce could in theory I guess buy just the Salesforce team/integration from signNow.  Actually, that's not a terrible idea.  Buying signNow is even harder.  While Salesforce has made a small investment there, the post-money in the last round was $500m, making an acquisition implausible.  Even if valuation were not an issue, only a small % of signNow's revenue is from the Salesforce integration, making an acquisition to only write off 80% of the customers and revenue (100% if they gave it away), odd.  Salesforce could just offer a very limited functionality and perhaps they will. But a basic functionality won't solve the need for a rich create/dynamic, multi-variable web contract/sign/collaboration/trigger/workflow solution that is what 90%+ of all the EchoSign and signNow Salesforce customers are really using.  For example, Salesforce has basic functionality with Quotes and Content.  But neither really has displaced the need for much richer products like Conga Composer, or even Box.  See, also, the Contracts tab which is very limited, and has in no way displaced the need for any vendors in the contract management space.It's just hard in a large company to build very rich, complex features that aren't in the core.  In the core, it's easy.

That could mean a lot of things, depending on what kind of contract you need. Is it a 200 page document? Or a simple 3 page proposal with some contractual terms and conditions and e-signature?Assuming you want the latter, you can use Mimiran, which I developed to handle just this problem. You can sign up for a free trial, and there's a sample project proposal template in there that includes some basic T's & C's (always check with your lawyer) and e-signature.The real key is not the technology, though. It's understanding what your prospect needs, developing the right solution for/with them, and knowing how they will make the buying decision, then using the technology to quickly generate a contract that covers those bases.

In states which have passed it, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) would govern this.  Section 7 of UETA, in particular, specifies:  SECTION 7.  LEGAL RECOGNITION OF ELECTRONIC RECORDS, ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, AND ELECTRONIC CONTRACTS.       (a)  A record or signature may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form.       (b)  A contract may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because an electronic record was used in its formation.       (c)  If a law requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies the law.       (d)  If a law requires a signature, an electronic signature satisfies the law.So, assuming that a signature is required for a contract to be valid, an "electronic signature" suffices.  UETA defines "electronic signature" as follows:(8)  "Electronic signature" means an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.In basic language, this means that when you type out your name and click on the "submit" button, you've electronically signed the record, and the official comments to UETA (not technically law, but extremely persuasive) back this up:This definition includes as an electronic signature the standard webpage click through process.  For example, when a person orders goods or services through a vendor's website, the person will be required to provide information as part of a process which will result in receipt of the goods or services.  When the customer ultimately gets to the last step and clicks "I agree," the person has adopted the process and has done so with the intent to associate the person with the record of that process.  The actual effect of the electronic signature will be determined from all the surrounding circumstances, however, the person adopted a process which the circumstances indicate s/he intended to have the effect of getting the goods/services and being bound to pay for them.  The adoption of the process carried the intent to do a legally signNow act, the hallmark of a signature.Although not every state has adopted UETA either in part or in whole without modifications, I believe every state now has similar or identical provisions in its body of law.  Assuming that this type of waiver would otherwise be legally enforceable (and many jurisdictions don't allow a waiver of liability for injuries under certain circumstances) then it would not be rendered unenforceable simply because it was signed electronically.Of course, in order to ensure the enforceability of any contract, one should generally consult with an attorney who is familiar with contract law in your jurisdiction and who could recommend a set of best practices for the storage and preservation of any contract stored as an electronic record.
