airSlate SignNow provides us with the flexibility needed to get the right signatures on the right documents, in the right formats.
An officer such as a CEO or CFO typically signs agreements that commit the company materially. Ensure the signer's authority is evidenced in board resolutions or delegation documents where required by corporate bylaws or state law.
A named agent or contract manager may sign under delegated authority for operational agreements. Record any delegation in writing and retain copies to defend authority in disputes or audits.
