Electronic signature disclosure

What you’re agreeing to

When you check the consent box and sign, you agree that your electronic signature is the legal equivalent of your handwritten signature, and that the document and its signature record can be kept and delivered electronically. This follows the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) as adopted by your state.

What gets recorded

We record your name, email address, the date and time, your IP address and device information, and a fingerprint (SHA-256 hash) of the document. A signature certificate with these details is attached to the signed PDF.

Getting a paper copy

You receive the signed PDF by email and can download it from the signing page. If you want a paper copy, ask the contractor who sent the document. There is no charge from PaperForeman.

Choosing not to sign electronically

You don’t have to sign electronically. Before you sign, you can decline the document or contact the contractor to sign on paper instead. Withdrawing consent doesn’t affect anything you already signed.

What you need

A phone or computer with a current web browser, an email address you can reach, and a way to open PDF files.

Changing your email

If your email address changes, tell the contractor so future documents reach you.

This disclosure explains how PaperForeman handles electronic signatures. It isn’t legal advice. Questions about the work or the terms of a document go to the contractor who sent it.
