If the agreement involves protected health information, include a Business Associate Agreement and follow HIPAA privacy and security requirements.

How long must I keep the signed agreement?

Retain according to applicable federal and industry rules: for example, IRS records three years (IRC §6501(a)) and HIPAA records six years (45 CFR §164.530(j)).

What if the signer’s name differs from corporate records?

Resolve name mismatches before signing by updating party names or attaching proof of authority; unresolved mismatches can affect enforceability.

Can I use remote online notarization?

Possibly — many states permit permanent RON with identity proofing and recorded audio-video; check the specific state notary statute and recordkeeping rules.
