Can this agreement be signed electronically?

Yes. Electronic signatures are legally enforceable under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA where adopted; confirm the transaction is not excluded (e.g., wills, certain court filings).

Is a notary required for validity?

Usually no for general commercial services, but notaries are required for certain documents tied to real property or powers of attorney; verify state rules before skipping notarization.

What signer authentication is recommended?

Use at least email link plus SMS code for low-friction workflows; for high-assurance needs consider KBA or two-factor authentication and retain audit logs.

How long must I keep the executed file?

Keep the signed agreement for the contract term plus at least three years; follow sector rules such as HIPAA six-year retention for health records (45 CFR §164.530(j)).

What happens if a party's name is entered incorrectly?

Mismatched legal names can delay payment or raise enforceability questions; correct errors with an amendment or re-execution to ensure clear attribution.

Can I add additional fields or conditional logic?

Yes, add conditional or calculated fields for pricing or milestone triggers, but document the logic clearly and test the workflow before sending to signers.
