SIGNiX isn't just e-signatures, SIGNiX is Digital Signatures. What qualifies as an electronic signature under the ESIGN Act?
An electronic signature, as defined by the ESIGN Act, is “an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.” Existing laws define a signature as “a mark affixed to or logically associated with a writing with intent to sign the writing.” The ESIGN Act extends the definition of “mark” to include “an electronic sound, symbol, or process.”
Electronically signed documents are legally binding. In the United States, electronic signatures have been legally accepted since 2000. In fact, some types of e-signatures (like the digital signatures SIGNiX uses) offer a lot more evidence than a handwritten signature. The tamper evident seal we provide for every signature provides more security than was ever possible in a paper world.
This definition of an electronic mark is deliberately very general, to allow technology companies to find the most cost-effective types of electronic signatures for different purposes. State, national, and international laws all tend to define signatures in this generic fashion, although numerous international laws establish a preference for the "digital signatures" used by SIGNiX.
