Create Electronic signature Form Simple

That depends on what exactly you mean by an "electronic signature", and the type of contract that you're trying to enforce.  Generally, the fact that a signature is electronic instead of a physical mark is not sufficient for it to be outright ignored by the law.  In fact, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) explicitly allows for the validity of electronic signatures (something I covered in length on Are digital signatures via iPhone/iPad recognized as legally binding?):§ 1-201. General Definitions(39) "Signed" includes any symbol executed or adopted by a party with present intention to authenticate a writing. This  is why an "X" on a contract is sufficient to count as a signature - it is a "symbol" that is "executed" by a party with "intent" to "authenticate" the contract.§ 2-211. Legal Recognition of Electronic Contracts, Records, and Signatures(1) A record or signature may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form.(2) A contract may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because an electronic record was used in its formation.(3) This article does not require a record or signature to be created, generated, sent, communicated, received, stored, or otherwise processed by electronic means or in electronic form.(4) A contract formed by the interaction of an individual and an electronic agent under Section 2-204(4)(b) does not include terms provided by the individual if the individual had reason to know that the agent could not react to the terms as provided.This basically means that, just because the "signature" is in electronic format, it's entirely valid.§ 2-212. ATTRIBUTIONAn electronic record or electronic signature is attributable to a person if it was the act of the person or the person's electronic agent or the person is otherwise legally bound by the act.This allows you to have PayPal or some other third party or application to which you've assigned the power bind you to a contract.

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.

DIGITAL SIGNATURE PROCEDURE IN INDIAWhat is a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)?Digital Signature Certificates are electronic format of physical signatures. DSC can be presented electronically to access information or services on the Internet, to prove the identity or to sign certain documents digitally.Why is DSC required?W.e.f. 16th September 2006 all the documents required to be filed with ROC have to be filed on portal of Ministry of Corporate Affairs at Ministry Of Corporate Affairs using Digital Signature Certificate.Who issues the Digital Signature Certificate?A licensed signNowing Authority (CA) issues the digital signature. Various signNowing authorities licensed by MCA include TCS, SIFY and MTNL etc.Is Director Identification Number (DIN) a pre-requisite to apply for DSC?It is not necessary that person should first have DIN number as a pre-requisite to apply for DSC. DSC can be obtained without DIN. But both DSC and DIN are required for filing any documents on portal of MCA.for more visit Company formation in India, Company registration in India, Company incorporation in India - Brooks Consulting PVT LTD

I answer based on the premise of the sources that drive modern commercial law.My discussion is focused on US law, but most other countries have a form of codified commercial law. Commercial law provides the rules that govern the sale of goods and services. Products cover can range from a sale of widgets, toasters to payment transactions.The US generally has two sources: English common law, where a body of court decisions developed general principles of how a contract is formed, when a contract is binding, and what happens if a party defaults under an agreement, such as, by failing to deliver the goods or failing to pay for goods. The other source is the Uniform Commercial Code, a codified version of commercial law, adopted by all of the states in the US. Commercial law generally is handled by state laws, rather than federal laws.The UCC sets general rules on when a contract is formed, such as, when an offer is made and when the offer is accepted to create a binding agreement. It also creates a baseline of terms that will apply, such as what types of warranties will be implied into a transaction, in the event the parties fail to address these issues in an agreement. For example, the parties may agree in a simple purchase order to buy and sell 10,000 widgets for USD 10,000. What if the widgets are defective? The UCC would “fill the gap” with rules on how the parties must deal with a defective product.Statutory commercial law is not unique to North America. The UK has the Sales of Goods Act, China has the Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China, etc. On top of that, you have international treaties such as the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (the Vienna Convention) to facilitate commercial transactions among buyers and sellers in different countries.There are other laws that may come into play, such as consumer protection laws to address unfair and deceptive trade practices (the US’ Federal Trade Act), unfair contract terms (UK’s Unfair Contract Terms Act), and authorizing electronic signatures and transactions (e.g., China’s Electronic Signatures Act, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act adopted in the USA, etc.)I am not an expert in International trade law. However, I hope my post can help provide some insight into modern commercial law.

How Electronic Signatures Are Different From Digital Signatures?The world is moving towards an era of e-governance & e-transactions and hence electronic and digital signatures play an important role in authenticating documents. All signatures related to electronic media are termed as electronic signatures and they include digital signatures. All digital signatures are electronic in nature but all electronic signatures cannot be categorized under digital signatures. Many of the companies are providing electronic signature services to clients across various segments as they are simple in nature. Any voice, image or impression by a person used as a signature on electronic document becomes electronic signature. Digital signatures are imprinted signatures with a mathematical scheme embedded in the document or mail.Check Here: Digital Signature Certificate Price ListElectronic SignaturesElectronic signatures are very simple and easy to use and they are widely accepted by many companies across the world. A user can do an electronic signature by clicking the mouse or tracing a signature with finger on the document.PROSEasy to use as they can be applied with a click of mouse or you can trace a signature onto the document with your finger.They do not have the hassle of coding and other securities and hence provided by many companies issuing e-signatures.Lower transaction costs involved with electronic signatures make it a hot favorite against signing of a paper based document.You can go green with electronic signatures by saving tress, which could be cut down for manufacturing paper.It will speed up any business contracts and legal formalities which is a plus point for your organization.CONSElectronic signatures are not regulated like the digital signatures and do not come with an embedded finger print.The electronic vendors set their own standards and you are forced to believe them, when they say their electronic signatures are secure.Electronic signatures are not coded like the digital signatures. This coding is the main thing which authenticates the identity of the signer and the time on which the document was signed.Electronic signatures constitute an image placed on the document and it will not give any information regarding document being tampered with.One more drawback is that you need to check back on the vendor to know whether your document is tampered or not and if you want to change the vendor then you will lose all your previously signed documents on the vendor’s server.Digital SignaturesDigital Signatures are a variety of electronic signatures which are coded with a mathematical algorithm to authenticate the signer identity and secure the document against any tampering. A digital signature has an embedded finger print which can be verified by digital verification.PROSDigital signatures with verifiable embedded finger print provide highest security to the document owners. These fingerprints get altered immediately if the document is tampered with. Some of the digital signatures issuing companies comply with International standards.Adhering to high PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) standards, the digitally signed documents are highly trust worthy and authentic.More & more countries today are legally accepting the digital signatures due to their high level of security and signer identity verification.In case of digital signatures there is no need for the signatory to rely upon vendors to retain the authenticity of his digital sign for a document. Even if you change the vendor the authentication of the digital signature by a signatory remains inside the document.Digital signatures can stand against any kind of independent verification by any authority in the International arena. The authenticity of the signatory can be proved in any court of law across different countries of the world.CONSGetting digital signature is a little costly affair as the vendor has to comply with code generation and International standards of PKI (Public Key Infrastructure).The technology used for developing digital signature is high end and not all the companies provide them and these technologies have a very short shelf life.In order to use digital signatures effectively both the senders and the recipients may have to obtain digital certificates from trusted certified authority.The senders and receivers may have to buy verification software at a cost to verify the authenticity of digital certificates.In some countries laws related to digital signature are nonexistent; people may get in to trouble in such countries for having digitally signed documents.There are many digital signature standards and they are incompatible with each other. Hence sharing of digitally signed documents becomes complicated.Check Here: Digital Signature Certificate Price List

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.

I use signNow. Its has great features and potential to use API when i need to.You have few others that are good and established. signNow Echosign is great.signNow - is another option. They also have stripe integration for payment.All of them will track responses ..like you can see who viewed and who signed.Gather your requirements :a) How many documents do you want to get signed every month?b) Does the content vary? if not you can create one template.c) Do you need API or can you fill the variables like name and address for a template and send it ?d) Do you want someone to pay when they sign? or is there a separate payment process - Right now out of box its only signNow ( AFAIK) or You can do Zapier integration if you have resources to help you with.Most of them start at low price and cost adds up when you want more than one template or you exceed maximum documents signed.Until you do a complete API integration, you can easily replace one with another. So you can start off with FREE plan and try it out and upgrade to basic plan and see if it meets your need and try the other vendor.If you know your numbers upfront, you can talk to the sales team.

Check out Michael Gerber's The E-Myth Revisited for this. The author suggests developing Position Responsibilities (not the same as Job Descriptions) and assign someone to each responsibility. What you might find is that some of your employees are responsible for more than one position. To be clear with your staff about this delegation, have them read and sign a position contract. Also consider, adding someone with secondary responsibility so that the job always gets done!
