Legal Issues Surrounding E-Signature Deployment
A white paper provided by DocuSign Inc. focuses on the delivery of business-class electronic signature services, discussing the legal issues that must be addressed in the deployment of e-signature services.
The white paper provides an overview covering 1) the evolution of electronic contracting, 2) the legislation enabling electronic signature usage and 3) the key legal factors for successful deployment of an e-signature system. Subsequent sections then provide detail regarding the specific ways that the DocuSign architecture addresses these critical legal issues.
DocuSign says that electronic contracting is, fundamentally, contracting — and contract law fundamentals apply.
