Electronic Signatures vs. Digital Signatures
It is important to understand the terminology. Toolvala.in provides an Electronic Signature (eSignature).
- Electronic Signature (eSign): A visual representation of a person's intent to agree to the content of a document. Legally binding for most business transactions like sales contracts, offer letters, and rental agreements.
- Digital Signature (Cryptographic): Involves cryptographic keys and digital certificates issued by a Certificate Authority (CA). Required for highly regulated government filings.
Common Use Cases
- Real Estate: Agents can sign leases and addendums instantly on an iPad.
