Electronic signing, with clear limits.
Updated September 5, 2026 · Disclosure version 2026-09-05.1
For ordinary U.S. business documents
This service is intended for ordinary U.S. business documents requiring one signer. Do not use it for wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance health directives, family-law or court documents, negotiable/title instruments, statutory consumer notices or disclosures, or documents requiring notarization, witnesses, government filing, regulated workflows, or qualified/certificate-based signatures. These are product restrictions, not statements that electronic signing is always unlawful for those documents. Seek legal advice when uncertain.
The sender must check the document's requirements and their authority to request a signature. The signer must decide whether to agree and whether they have authority to sign. This app collects one signer's action; it does not determine whether an agreement needs other signatures.
New York and federal law
New York ESRA recognizes electronic signatures and records, subject to exceptions and other applicable law. Use is generally voluntary. Federal ESIGN provides recognition for covered transactions, with additional rules and exclusions. A person's location in New York does not make every document governed only by New York law.
See NY ESRA §304, §305, §307 exceptions, §309 voluntary use, and 15 U.S.C. §7001 / §7003.
These references are information, not legal advice or a certification that a particular transaction complies. Requirements for consumer disclosures, notarization, witnessing, filing, identity, and record retention may require a different service or additional procedures. Have a qualified attorney review your use case when uncertain.
What the evidence establishes—and what it does not
We record the document version, stated name, designated email addresses, signing method, server times, IP/browser context, and accepted disclosure. Both parties can export these records with the PDFs. Private-link access does not independently verify identity, mailbox ownership, reading, understanding, or authority. We do not provide certificate-backed PDF signatures, qualified signatures, or independently trusted timestamps.
Keep your own copies
New requests use one year (365 days) of storage after signing unless the sender explicitly selects 30 days. The signer sees that choice before accepting. Previously sent documents retain their earlier policy. This is a hosting period—not a universal legal retention period. Save the PDF and evidence for as long as your duties require. A legal dispute or preservation obligation may require longer storage outside this service.
Your choice to use electronic records
The disclosure below illustrates the default retention period. Your signing page and downloadable disclosure state the actual period chosen for your document and identify your sender contact. You can decline before signing; declining or withdrawing electronic-record consent does not undo an existing agreement.
Electronic Records Disclosure (version 2026-09-05.1)
Your choice
Electronic signing is voluntary. This choice applies only to this document and its signing record, not to future transactions. You may stop without signing or use Decline to close this request. Ask the sender for another signing method before continuing if you do not want electronic records.
Paper copies and contact changes
Download and print the PDF and signing evidence without a platform download fee. This service does not mail paper copies. Contact the sender shown on your signing page to request a paper alternative, report a wrong email address, or arrange a different method. Confirm any sender-imposed conditions or fees before agreeing. A changed recipient requires a new request; do not forward a signing link.
Access and saving
You need an internet connection, a supported current browser, software that can open PDFs, and storage for downloaded files. A printer is needed for paper copies; ZIP and JSON readers let you open the evidence package. Open the PDF before agreeing and confirm that you can save or print it. Contact the sender if you cannot access it. Viewing a page is not proof that you read or understood it.
Retention
After signing, this document and its signing evidence are available for 365 days under this request's storage policy. Download both before the deadline shown after completion. This hosting period is not a statement of how long the law requires you to keep records; keep your own copies for as long as your obligations require. Existing documents retain their previously disclosed deadlines.
Evidence and privacy
We record the name you state, designated email addresses, signature method, server timestamps, IP address, browser information, document fingerprints, and the wording you accept. Both parties can download that information with the PDFs. Access to a private link is the authentication method; identity and mailbox ownership are not independently verified. A fingerprint is not a certificate-backed digital signature or trusted timestamp.
Withdrawal
Before signing, you may decline or contact the sender for a paper alternative. Withdrawing electronic-record consent does not undo a signature already completed or cancel the underlying agreement. For any later records, contact the sender to arrange an alternative. Download your existing copies before access ends.
