In all 50 states and territories of the US "Electronic Signatures" are viewed as enforceable and binding to all parties to the agreement(s).  The electronic facsimile of a cardholder's signature is not just an artifact of Flint, but also of Square, PayPal and other mobile payment companies.  You will also witness signature pads at all large retailers in the US.The First Electronic Signature Was Morse CodeThe case law signNowes back to the 1850s in the US where Morse Code was transmitted via Telegraphy [1].Saturday, June 10th, 1871,  Samuel F. B. Morse sending his last telegraph message, his signature: "S ...  F .-.  B -...       M --  O . .  R . ..  S ...  E ." to a standing ovation.1869 And The First Legal Test Of An Electronic SignatureIn 1869 the New Hampshire Supreme Court decided a case that challenged if a telegraphed contract was valid.  In the findings:"It makes no difference whether that operator writes the offer or the acceptance,  with a steel pen an inch long attached to an ordinary penholder, or whether his pen be a copper wire a thousand miles long. In either case the thought is communicated to the paper by the use of the finger resting upon the pen; nor does it make any difference that in one case common record ink is used, while in the other case a more subtle fluid, known as electricity, performs the same office."This ruling has formed the foundation in US law all the way up to the Facsimile machine and the current finger signatures that are common to the current smartphone payment apps.  The US codified the law more clearly in the E-Sign Act ( the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act} from 2001 [2].  This expands upon the prior Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) [3].The E-Sign Act states:(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any statute, regulation, or other rule of law (other than this title and title II), with respect to any transaction in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce—(1) a signature, contract, or other record relating to such transaction may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforce- ability solely because it is in electronic form; and(2) a contract relating to such transaction may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because an electronic signature or electronic record was used in its formation.A Payment Card Transaction Is A Signed ContractA Payment Card transaction is a contract between the cardholder and the card issuing bank and indirectly the merchant.  When a cardholder authorizes a bank for the use of a Payment Card they are also authorizing your approval of all transactions with or without a signature. Thus at the very least there is cardholder authorization for a transaction that was conducted using an Electronic Signature regardless of the E-Sign Act.  But with the E-Sign Act the mark would be considered valid unless the cardholder contests or otherwise repudiates the transaction.  This would be considered a Chargeback and it is another thing entirely (see: Brian Roemmele's answer to How do you prevent people from using chargebacks as a method for refunds?).Apple And A New IOS "Home Button", A Finger Print Electronic Signature SystemThe electronic signature will continue to evolve. In the future other unique identifiers will be used to confirm or authorize a payment card transaction.  Look for Apple to release an integrated fingerprint scanner (for a multitude of reasons) in to new IOS devices that can be used as an electronic signature to confirm and authorize payment card transactions (see: Brian Roemmele's answer to Why did Apple buy AuthenTec?).  This feature will form the basis of Apple's new iWallet and extension to Passbook.  Image from the 2008 Apple patent 20100082444 showing NFC Logo and fingerprint scanner (using the older AuthenTec thin rectangular finger print scanner AES2750).  I believe the actual fingerprint scanner will be the Home Button using another AuthenTec product.  A long JourneyThe electronic signature has come a very long way from the days of Mr. Morse's invention.  However the intent continues to perform the same basic human function, I authorize and confirm this contract.___1) Privacy Issues In Federal Systems:2) Page on Gpo3) Uniform Electronic Transactions Act

We were lucky to have the background and experience to get through legal issues without much drama - but some of the legal issues that have come up are (in no particular order):Finding and developing good legal formsRegistering as a document preparation serviceMaking sure you don't engage in unauthorized practice of law (which is what LegalZoom has been sued for a few times)Along the same lines, making sure that people understand you're not offering legal services, just software that makes it easier for others to get legal stuff doneIf you're doing electronic signatures, complying with the major electronic signature regulations (US and EU)If you're doing anything involving government, figuring out which agencies accept electronic signatures and for what purposes (ESIGN act has an exception for government entities so that they can decide when to accept electronic signatures and when not to)Along the same lines, figuring out how to interface with government agencies from a logistical standpointProbably forgetting a few, but those are the ones I remember!

Startups 101: How to Create a Business PlanThe first thing you need to do is create an executive summary and a mission statement.  After that, you need to study your market, compare yourself to your competition, create a share structure, outline financials, and fill out the rest of the pertinent data like the other people suggest.Below is an example of the last executive summary and mission statement that I created for a company I was planning to launch earlier this year.Since I own the company, wrote this from scratch, and decided that I will not be launching this product, I decided to share. (Yes, it is heavily focused on marketing, but that's my primary expertise, if I'm even somewhat good at it... Who in the world knows...)I worked with a Product CEO and operated as the COO at this company and recruited a highly talented team, however the Product CEO decided to part ways so we scrapped the business.Also, you may not want to make a public benefit company unless you already have investors you can turn to for sure who don't care what kind of business you own. If you are seeking to raise money from venture capital, then it is highly unlikely that they will invest into your model. 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARYCompany Name | Tagline | An American Public Benefit Company Founded in February of 2013, (“SE”) features contemporary women’s fashions specializing in comfort, fit and sexiness, established by a diverse group of individuals, led by the C.E.O. Ms. Lee.  SE holds idealistic aspirations of giving back to the underprivileged, creates American Jobs and gives back to the community, while keeping the clientele engaged through social interactions  SE provides:  • A Philanthropic Vision.  • Patriotism.  • Quality Clothing.  • Best Styles for women of the 21st Century.  • Quality Content. • An Interactive Community.  SE’s innovative design and marketing team constructs visionary product campaigns and strategies, designed to push SE to the forefront of the industry. Derived from the fictional character, Sophia Serrano, from the film Open Your Eyes, SE’s inspiration is characterized by Sophia’s radiant qualities of being: positive, down-to earth, original, mysterious, sexy, and guileless in a perfect world.  Sophia is the “ideal” woman because not only is she divine in nature, she is able to cope through the greatest obstacles that obstruct her from her path. Simultaneously, Sophia is so unique, she makes a man follow her into the afterlife of his dreams. Not only did she (tagline) in the real world, she left him in need of her in the afterlife.  SE wants other fashion brands and the world to know that everyone in this world matters, no matter your race, ethnicity, financial background or country of origin.  SE empowers people to make a difference by:   • Helping the Underprivileged Children of America. • Creating American Jobs.  • Providing a more Eco-Friendly environment.  All of SE’s products are made in the United States, providing more opportunities to influence economic growth.  SE ensures no usable fabric goes to waste by collecting all the scraps of fabrics and donating the items to (charity), with the sole intent to create exclusive items, blankets, or articles of clothing for the less fortunate. In addition, SE donates 10% of all sales to (charity) , to help feed, clothe, and provide shelter for the less fortunate.SE plans to take a creative approach to branding and marketing the company.  Not only will SE use traditional methods of marketing, such as mailing clothes to celebrities, look books to bloggers and editors, buying editorial spots, sponsoring events, and advertising online, SE will take grass root efforts to the next level in attracting hits to the website, along with social media to keep the clientele engaged. Sending celebrities, fashion editors and bloggers free gifts never guarantees the promotion of an item, so SE has decided to implement a revenue sharing program with its clothing. Each individual influencer will have a personalized URL to direct their clients to SE’s website. Each purchase made within thirty days by the referral of an “influencer” will generate an earnings check of $25 to the referrer. Checks will be cut once the accumulated balance signNowes $300, or can be exchanged to store credit. SE will seek out make up artists, photographers, stylists, and other professionals within the fashion industry to provide an opportunity to earn an extra source of income through its revenue sharing program. SE will also provide clothing to stylists, to have featured in editorial along with video content. SE’s grassroots efforts will take place in the form of carefully selected event sponsorships. Through event sponsorships, models will be showcased wearing the SE product through a trade booth. SE will take pictures of celebrities who try on the products and feature blog posts through social media efforts of the celebrities, while distributing the highly sought out images to fashion bloggers. SE will then pass out $10 SE Clothing Branded Gift Cards to people who fit the role of the target consumer of the brand at the event. Initially, 50,000 gift cards will be made for distribution within the first year, of which we expect at least 25,000 to visit the website URL.  SE will implement a referral based program, where if a friend is referred to purchase an item through the SE website through their email or social media link within 30 days, the customer will have the choice to have one of the following occur: • $25 will be credited to the referrer’s account for Future Purchases. • $25 will be donated to the referrer’s Charity of Choice. The referee will also receive $10 credited off their first purchase. Studies indicate that 1 out of every 3 customers will refer their friends to a site that they trust and enjoy.  SE will partner with publishers and affiliates such as Google Affiliate, Commission Junction, Avantlink, Affiliate Window, Webgains, Pepperjam, Integrate, Etc. to allow professionals to earn a profit by referring their clientele to purchase items from SE.  In order to create better organic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) results to guide more online traffic to the website, SE will carry lines of both popular name brand and up-and-coming American Made products by other designers, such as Nasty Gal, Diesel, Ralph Lauren, Armani, Etc. In order to acquire the product necessary, SE will create a strategic partnership with its manufacturer to sell their excess inventory.  Once new customers visit the SE site, they will be given an opportunity to register on the site to claim their $10 credit. Through registration, information such as the customer’s name, email address, phone number, address, and social media profiles will be gathered.  Once the customer registers, they will be able to access the site. A welcome email will be sent to the customer within one day, welcoming them to the site. Within 5-7 business days, a letter stating SE’s appreciation of the customer with an outline of the brand’s philanthropic vision will be physically mailed to the customer on company letterhead and hand signed by the C.E.O., Ms. Lee. The customer will then be emailed, informing them that their gift card will expire in 30 days, 3 weeks, 15 days, 7 days, 3 days, 2 days, and a final offer email. This cycle will repeat for another 30 days for a total of 60 days, which will trigger a sense of urgency within purchasing an item within the allotted timeframe.  SE will engage with customers by providing the first few sentences of educational content through email, while providing links to the blogging section of the website to read the full article, along with social media efforts on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, DeviantART, Tumblr, Google+, Polyvore, Wanelo, Quora, Lyst, Etc. to build trust with the clientele, and keep them engaged with the brand. SE will track user activity through analytic services provided by Kissmetrics to measure which campaigns work best, to better understand our audience. SE will influence increases in transaction sizes by donating one item to charity for every $300 spent in a single transaction. Not only would revenues increase, the philanthropic vision would accelerate to creating a bigger influence to society, which in turn will create a better image for the brand. SE will have a section on the site where users can upload images of their new purchases, how they pair their outfits, provide feedback to others, and like other consumer’s styles, creating an engaged society of buyers who become advocates and prosumers of the brand.  SE will begin sales on the retail website, then slowly trickle into many online boutique stores, physical boutique stores, then into major department stores. Since bulk purchases from vendors decrease manufacturing costs, the business model is extremely scalable. As SE becomes a more established brand, price increases will be implemented in 10% increments per season, increasing profit margins while manufacturing costs decrease. SE will create separate databases for consumers who have at least purchased one item and another database for loyal consumers. In regard to the database of consumers who have purchased, collateral material providing a promo code for a promotional discount will physically be mailed to the clients two weeks prior to an anniversary or holiday sale, to provide exclusive access to the promotion. SE will randomly select users from the loyal consumer database to provide a free gift with purchase, expedited or free shipping, and various other promotional tools to reward brand loyalty.  Once SE establishes a loyal client base, verticals will be integrated one product at a time in minimal quantities, initially to test the market to see how well the product does. Verticals will range from products such as cosmetics, shoes, handbags, hats, stockings, scarves, jewelry, and other womenswear based products. Led by C.E.O. Ms. Lee, SE has hand selected a managerial team of 8 creative unique individuals to grasp a portion of the $500+ billion dollar market by creating quality content, negotiating with vendors, managing finances, and laying out the long term growth of the company, all while creating beautiful product.  10 years from now, in the year 2023, SE plans to be acquired by LVMH, PPR, Richemont, Valentino Fashion Group, The Aeffe Group, Puig, Diesel, Phillips-Van Huesen, Hermes, Liz Claiborne, Inditex, The Arcadia Group, or Aurora Fashion for a strike price of $300 million. SE is currently seeking seed financing in the amount of $275,000 to be used to cover manufacturing, marketing, legal and operational expenses to establish the brand. MISSION STATEMENTUnited together, SE’s commitments to society are as follows:#1. To Mother Earth:We vow to make sure that no usable fabric is wasted. All usable scrap material will be recycled into specialty items, blankets or created into articles of clothing for the less fortunate.#2. To Our Nation:We vow to Shop American. We vow to only manufacture our product in America. We are creating American jobs and doing our part in rebuilding the American economy.#3. To Our World:We vow to take a stance against child labor.

To Our Design PartnersWe vow to provide our client base accessibility to your designs to increase your exposure in the market place.

How can I cash a personal check? The first step to cashing a personal check is to endorse the check. That means signing your name (assuming the check is addressed to you) on the back of the check. There should be a line on the back of the check that says “endorse here”. Make sure not to write in the area that says “Do not write below.”Do not endorse the check until you are ready to complete one of the methods below to cash the check. Once you sign the check anyone can take it and cash it. So if you endorse it and then lose it, you are at risk of losing the money.Use your bank’s mobile app to deposit the check. This is the ...

I’m not a lawyer, so this isn’t legal advice, however due to diligent research I personally believe it is safe to say that yes, they are provided that the signer understand that they are signing the document and acknowledge that it is in fact them who is “signing” it. If the identity of the signer was in question, the document would need to be signNowd, which would not be able to be an electronic signature. It would be easy to assume that any electronic signature could therefore not be the person signing it. However, regular paper forms could also be signed by someone else other than the person who is supposed to be signing them, as well. It would have to be signNowd, which again, can only happen with regular paper, because the notary, when they signNow a document, they are identifying the signer as the person who is supposed to be signing it.But also, contracts do not have to be signNowd in order to be valid or enforceable, in which case, most documents signed online are practically contracts anyway.So basically, what I’m saying, is that although it seems that electronic signatures are not as legal or official, just remember that anything that can be done with a paper document can also be done with an electronic document (except be signNowd, it has to be paper, for that to happen).

Electronic signatures are just as lawful and binding as hand-written signaturesSee: http://uscode.house.gov/view.xht...15 U.S. Code Chapter 96 - ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES IN GLOBAL AND NATIONAL COMMERCE
