ADD-ON DIGITAL SIGNATURE WP FORMS
Imagine being with an estranged client in a trial who says they’ve never agreed to your deal. You withdraw the contract and the judge announces after a short examination that the signature used in the contract was not legally legitimate. Then he asks if there is anything else you have to help your case.
I hope it’s never going to come down to this, but if it did, what will you do?
Well, you couldn’t do anything there.
For legal contracts, invoices, employment agreements and any other legally binding document you may use in your business, the electronic document industry has very strict rules and regulations.
WP Forms is an outstanding WordPress Type Plugin! It is probably one of the easiest ways to use a WordPress website to automate any number of tasks (and of course their renowned contact forms plugin). Signing legally binding contracts, however is NOT the primary focus of WPForms (it is however, the sole focus of ApproveMe’s WP signature). We have spent several years in developing a system that adheres to the strictest national and international document signing regulations of UETA and ESIGN.
This Signature Pad Plugin fills the void between the WordPress Form plugin and the UETA/ESIGN guideline-compliant signature solution.
For your business, digital security is crucial. You need to safeguard yourself against anything that could bring into question your forms.
The ApproveMe WordPress E-signature Plugin transforms your WordPress site into a document signing app recognized by the court.
You know how effective their plugin can be to help automate a variety of tasks on your website if you’re a user of WP Forms. HOWEVER, it is NOT their main priority to sign legally binding contracts. This is where we get in.
The WP Forms Digital Signature Add-On ensures 100 percent UETA/ESIGN compliance with any contact form, contract, or invoice submitted with the WP Form plugin.
No more second-guessing the legality of your contracts or trying to use a signature service from a third party.
We have spent years developing a framework that adheres to the strictest regulations for the signing of national and international documents, thus enabling you to monitor the user experience.
To protect you and the client, you get a 100 percent legally compliant signature on paper, without having to worry about distracting users or being unsecured on third party pages.
This signature & WordPress Contract Plugin is distinct from the WordPress signature pad addon typical of WPForms.
Many signature pad plugins simply record the specifics of the signature and send the information to a web server where it is converted to a PNG or JPEG file. Then this graphic file is saved on the FTP server.
This picture file of the hand-written legal signature of your client is readily available to any FTP intruders, the same one used to buy homes, sign up for credit cards, and receive business loans.
That’s the issue here:
Most of these plugins are not legally binding (much less compatible with UETA/ESIGN) since the myriad laws and regulations that guide the document signing industry are not addressed.
If your contract’s legality were ever to come into doubt, you wouldn’t have to stand alone for much. And if fraud or identity theft were ever an issue, with a signature that the courts don’t understand, you will have a hard time proving your case. Why threaten that?
