Before you sign electronically
A sender has asked you to sign a document using eDocYouSign. Please read this disclosure. By checking the consent box before you sign, you agree to receive and sign this document electronically. You may ask the sender for a paper copy, or for a paper process instead, at any time.
1. About this disclosure
This Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure is provided under the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq., "ESIGN") and state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. It applies to documents a sender (such as a business you deal with) sends you through eDocYouSign. The sender, not eDocYouSign, is responsible for the document and for its dealings with you. eDocYouSign provides the technology.
2. What your consent covers
When you check "I agree to use electronic records and signatures," you consent to receive, review and sign that document, and any related notices, disclosures and the completed copy, electronically. Your consent applies only to the document you are signing in that session, unless the sender separately tells you otherwise and you agree.
3. Your right to paper copies
You may ask the sender for a paper copy of any document you are asked to sign or have signed. Contact the sender directly using the name and email address shown on the signing page and in the signing request email. The sender decides whether to charge a fee for paper copies and will tell you of any fee before sending them.
4. How to withdraw your consent
You may withdraw your consent to sign electronically at any time before you sign, by choosing Decline on the signing page or by telling the sender. Withdrawing consent:
- stops the electronic signing process for that document, and the sender will be notified;
- does not affect the legal effect of documents you already signed electronically; and
- may delay the transaction while the sender arranges another way to complete it, such as on paper.
5. Keeping your contact information current
Signing requests are sent to the email address the sender entered for you. If your email address changes, or the sender used the wrong one, tell the sender so they can send you a new link.
6. Hardware and software you need
To access and keep electronic records, you need:
- a computer, tablet or phone with an internet connection;
- a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, with JavaScript turned on;
- an email account to receive signing links;
- the access code the sender gave you, usually by phone or text message;
- software that can open PDF files, such as your browser or a free PDF reader, to view and save the completed document; and
- enough storage space, or a printer, to keep copies.
If these requirements change in a way that creates a material risk that you could not access or keep a document you have signed, we or the sender will tell you, and you may withdraw your consent without fees or penalties.
7. Confirming you can access electronic records
By checking the consent box, you confirm that you can open and read this disclosure and the document on the device you are using, that you can download or print the completed document, and that you agree to use electronic records and signatures for this document. If you cannot, choose Decline and contact the sender.
8. Getting and keeping your copy
When everyone has signed, you will receive an email. Open the link, enter the same access code, and download the completed document and its certificate of completion. Save a copy in a place you can find later. Because documents are encrypted end to end, eDocYouSign cannot open them or resend their contents, and you will need the access code to open the downloaded copy through the signing link.
9. Questions
For questions about the document or the transaction, contact the sender. For questions about how eDocYouSign works, see our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, or contact support@edocyousign.com.
