What is the digital contract signature

A digital contract signature is an electronic method of signing documents that ensures authenticity and integrity. It uses cryptographic techniques to secure the signature and verify the identity of the signer. This type of signature is legally recognized in the United States under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act, making it a valid alternative to traditional handwritten signatures.

How to use the digital contract signature

Using a digital contract signature involves several straightforward steps. First, upload the document you wish to sign to the airSlate SignNow platform. Next, fill out any necessary fields within the document, such as your name and date. Once completed, you can request signatures from other parties by entering their email addresses. After they receive the document, they can review, sign, and return it electronically. All signed documents are securely stored and can be accessed anytime.

Legal use of the digital contract signature

Digital contract signatures are legally binding in the U.S. as long as they meet certain criteria. Signers must have the intent to sign, the signature must be associated with the document, and both parties should consent to use electronic signatures. Compliance with the ESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) ensures that digital signatures hold the same legal weight as traditional signatures in most situations.
