n June 2002, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act established the legitimacy of signing contracts and documents online, streamlining business operations and eliminating paper burdens for consumers. The ESIGN ACT confirmed that electronic signatures have the same legal standing as pen-and-paper signatures, and a contract or record of transactions may not be denied legal effect or ruled unenforceable simply because it is in electronic form.

RightSignature electronic signatures give you the power to obtain legally binding signatures on documents entirely online — more quickly and securely than executing paper documents. Through e-signature software, you can send requests for and receive signatures quickly and replace traditional, dated paper processes.
