The Value of Your “Signature” at the Checkout Counter...

Posted May 27, 2009

When I try to 'sign,' either the pad is slippery, or the surface so scratched, I cannot get anything to look remotely like my signature.  That does not appear to matter!

The facts surrounding the signature process must provide enough proof to uphold the transaction in the event of repudiation of an electronically executed contract. Compliance with ESIGN is necessary, but not sufficient. As the one of the functions of electronic signatures is evidentiary, how can one ensure that electronically executed documents are admissible into evidence?
