Are SmartSigner signatures legally binding?
Electronic signatures are widely enforceable under laws such as ESIGN and UETA in the United States when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are handled properly. SmartSigner is designed to support those practical requirements, but this is not legal advice.
Does every document need payment?
No. SmartSigner supports sign-only agreements and sign-plus-pay agreements. Payment collection is only required when the sender includes payment in the document workflow.
Can fields be optional?
Yes. Templates can include required and optional fields so signers only have to complete the fields that matter for that specific document.
What should teams verify before relying on e-signatures?
Teams should confirm their agreement type, jurisdiction, retention needs, and customer requirements with legal counsel, especially for regulated or high-value contracts.
