Are electronic signatures valid?

Yes. Under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. §7001) and UETA, most agreements are enforceable when electronically signed, provided intent, consent, attribution, and reliable record retention are met; exceptions such as wills, certain court filings, and some real-estate conveyances may still require wet signatures.

Is notarization required?

Not typically for standard service agreements; however, notarization or witness signatures may be required where state law, contract subject matter, or recording requirements demand it. Remote online notarization (RON) is available in most states but verify state notary rules before relying on RON.

How do I meet HIPAA obligations?

If the Pasolivo handles protected health information, include a Business Associate Agreement and privacy addenda. Use platforms with HIPAA compliance and a signed BAA, restrict access, and retain records for six years per 45 CFR §164.530(j).

What if signer details differ?

If names or TINs mismatch, correct via an amendment or a corrective form. For payments, incorrect TINs can trigger IRS backup withholding at 24% and reporting penalties under IRC §6721; document the correction and retain evidence of identity verification.

How long should I retain records?

Retain signed agreements for the contract term plus applicable statutory periods: generally three years for tax records (IRC §6501(a)), six years for HIPAA-related records (45 CFR §164.530(j)), and up to seven years post-termination for many business documents.

Can I use signNow for e-signing?

Platforms like signNow provide legally compliant eSignature workflows, audit trails, and integrations. Choose an appropriate plan for bulk sends or API access and ensure any HIPAA or 21 CFR Part 11 needs are met with required add-ons or BAAs.
