Required under the U.S. ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7001(c)
Summary: This disclosure explains your rights and what it means to sign documents electronically using Seal-A-Doc. By checking the consent box on the signing page, you agree to use electronic signatures for that specific document. You always have the right to decline and request a paper version.
By using Seal-A-Doc to sign a document, you agree to conduct this transaction using electronic records and electronic signatures. You acknowledge that your electronic signature has the same legal effect, validity, and enforceability as a handwritten (wet ink) signature to the extent permitted by applicable law, including the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA).
Your consent applies to: (a) the specific document presented to you for signature; (b) all disclosures, notices, and communications related to that document delivered electronically; and (c) the use of your electronic signature as a legally binding expression of your intent and agreement. Your consent does not extend to documents or transactions outside the specific envelope for which it was given.
You have the right to decline to use electronic signatures and instead request a paper document for wet ink signature. You may do this by clicking "Decline" on the signing page before completing your signature. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the legal validity of any electronic signatures you have already provided. To arrange for a paper version of a document, contact the sender directly.
To sign documents electronically using Seal-A-Doc, you need: (a) a device with an internet connection; (b) a current, supported web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge); (c) a valid email address to receive signing links and notifications; and (d) the ability to access and retain electronic records (e.g., by printing or saving to your device). Seal-A-Doc works on desktop and mobile devices. No software installation is required.
After signing, you will have the option to download a copy of the signed document and the Certificate of Completion directly from the signing confirmation screen. We strongly recommend that you retain a copy of all signed documents for your records. Completed signed PDFs include an embedded audit page and can be stored in any standard PDF viewer or document management system.
Recipients receive an individual signing link and verify access to their mailbox using a one-time email code before signing. Email verification is not a government identity check and does not establish authority to sign for an organization. The signing record includes timestamps and available actor and request information.
Download and retain the completed document and associated signing records for the period required by your transaction and applicable law. New workspace uploads use private storage and access checks. This disclosure does not promise a fixed retention period or certify a particular encryption standard.
Electronic signatures are not valid for all document types. Seal-A-Doc is not intended for, and you should not use it to execute: wills, codicils, or testamentary trusts; adoption, divorce, or other family law matters where a court requires a wet signature; court orders, judicial notices, or official government documents requiring notarization; certain consumer financial disclosures (e.g., foreclosure, eviction, repossession notices); or any other document that applicable law expressly requires a non-electronic signature or notarization. Consult a qualified attorney if you are unsure whether electronic signatures are valid for your specific document type.
