Q. Are electronic signatures created with Adobe Sign valid and enforceable?
A. Yes. The Adobe Sign service fully complies with the requirements of both ESIGN and UETA.
The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“ESIGN Act”) became effective in the United States on October 1, 2000. Since then, online electronic signatures in both personal and commercial transactions have been granted the same legal status as a written signature.
The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”) is a model state act that existed prior to ESIGN providing a legal framework for electronic transactions. Like ESIGN, UETA provides that electronic records and signatures have the same validity and enforceability as paper-based transactions and hand written signatures.
