Are electronic signatures legally valid?

Yes. Electronic signatures are legally binding under the federal ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA in 49 states, provided the transaction meets intent, consent, attribution, and record-retention requirements.

When do I need a notarized signature?

Notarization is required only when statutory formality applies (for example, certain deeds or POAs). For standard service agreements, notarization is typically unnecessary but may be required by specific state rules or contractual conditions.

Do I need a BAA for medical-related bike services?

Yes. If the agreement involves protected health information, execute a Business Associate Agreement and follow HIPAA safeguards; maintain six-year retention per 45 CFR §164.530(j).

How do I correct an error after signing?

Amendments should be made via a written amendment or a re-executed corrected agreement signed by all parties. For unilateral changes, retain evidence of consent and timestamped communications to avoid disputes.

Can a minor sign the agreement?

No. Minors cannot bind contracts in most cases; a parent or legal guardian must sign on behalf of a minor to create an enforceable obligation.

How long should I retain signed agreements?

Keep active agreements for the full term plus at least three years; retain tax-related records per IRC §6501(a) and healthcare records six years per 45 CFR §164.530(j); state rules may require longer retention.
