Frequently Asked Questions

How does this service work?

1. Signup for a free account
2. Create your first online agreement.
3. Your agreement is assigned a unique link and password that is automatically emailed to your recipient.
4. The recipient then follows the link and enters the password to allow them access to the agreement.
5. If they agree to your terms, they can digitally sign the document.

What is a digital signature?

A digital signature can be many things. For the purposes of this site, a digital signature occurs when an individual creates an agreement and the recipient approves the document using their web browser and the forms provided.

Can you sign something without a pen?

A digital signature is similar to a pen and ink signature because it expresses the signer's intent. From a legal point of view, the vehicle used in a transaction is less important than the signer's ability to assign a symbol that expresses their intent.

Is this legal?

Electronic signatures are quickly being adopted by legislation both in the United States and around the world. Because legislation varies in the US from state to state and in other parts of the world, we encourage you to research the laws in your area before using this service. Read more about legal issues in the legal section of our web site.

Why send documents online?

Recordkeeping is essential in both our personal and business lives and sometimes the only way to hold parties responsible is with a signed document. The purpose of this service is to avoid the time consuming process of signing documents via courier, fax, or mail

Online agreements and contracts can dramatically reduce the amount of time you spend chasing after customers, clients, and other individuals trying to get a document signed. With SignatureConfirm.com, the entire transaction is online and both parties have access to the records.

How can I use this service?

Use our service to create electronic documents for clients, individuals, employees, or businesses. They'll have the opportunity to look over your document, and if they choose, agree to your terms. Both parties will have a lasting, online record of their agreement and can print off a copy of the signed document for their files. With SignatureConfirm.com, you can:

1. Draft online agreements to customers, individuals, employees, etc.
2. Reduce the effort and paperwork involved in getting a signature.
3. Make recordkeeping easier with electronic documents.

How do you use it?

As business owners ourselves, we not only run SignatureConfirm, but we use it as well! In addition to owning and operating web sites, we also do web site design for businesses in the DFW area. We use SignatureConfirm:

1. To establish non-disclosure/non-compete agreements with outsourced vendors;
2. To confirm the scope of work on new projects with our customers;
3. To establish rates and pricing for maintenance contracts;
4. To set deliverability requirements with our outsourced designers and coders;
5. And to outline expectations, salaries, and job descriptions for our new employees.

Why can't I delete agreements?

Once an agreement has been signed by both parties, it can not be deleted from our system. This ensures that neither party can alter an agreement after the fact. If an agreement is no longer valid, simply write a second agreement to amend or nullify the first.

Do you have any pre-written contracts I can use?

We don't provide pre-written contracts on the web site because it would make us liable for their use. Instead, we suggest that you consult with your legal advisor and ask them to draft a contract specifically for your needs. Once written, you can cut and paste that contract into our system. If you've already used an agreement before, look for the "Reuse this Agreement" button on the contract page so you don't have to re-type another draft.
