Can this be signed electronically?

Yes. Electronic signatures are legally recognized under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA where adopted, provided the transaction meets intent, consent, attribution, and retention requirements; exceptions such as wills or certain court filings may apply.

When is notarization required?

Most commercial marketing contracts do not require notarization. Notarization is only needed when a state or specific clause requires it. If remote notarization is needed, verify state RON rules and evidence-retention requirements first.

Who should sign for a company?

How can a party revoke or cancel?

Follow the termination provisions in the contract: provide required notices, allow cure periods if applicable, and comply with any termination-for-convenience or termination-for-cause terms to avoid breach claims.

How long must I retain executed copies?

Retain executed agreements at least as long as regulatory or tax rules require: IRS minimum 3 years (IRC §6501(a)), HIPAA six years (45 CFR §164.530(j)) for health data, and commonly seven years for commercial records; check state variations.

What the Marketing New Products Promotion Agreement Is

The Marketing New Products Promotion Agreement is a written contract that sets the relationship between a product owner (brand or manufacturer) and a marketing provider (agency, influencer, distributor, or channel partner) for launching and promoting a new product in the United States. It defines the scope of promotional activities, deliverables, performance metrics, timelines, compensation and payment milestones, intellectual property ownership and licensing, confidentiality and data handling, compliance with advertising rules, reporting and analytics requirements, termination and remedies, and dispute resolution procedures. The agreement may be executed electronically consistent with ESIGN and applicable state UETA rules.

Why a Clear Promotion Agreement Matters
