E-Sign Law
This essay is published for informational purposes only. It is not legal advice, nor is it intended as a substitute for the advice of your attorney.
The federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, known as the E-Sign Act permits the use of electronic signatures, contracts and records. It seems to afford them the same validity as their handwritten and hard copy counterparts.
This federal law provides that a signature or a contract shall not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form, and a contract relating to such transactions shall not be deemed invalid or unenforceable solely because an electronic signature or electronic record was used in its formation.
