Signing contracts face to face: Where is the pain?You

5

Meeting face to face: only to celebrate big deals…

- Unless you need to celebrate a big deal with a bottle of something special, you don’t have to be there to sign the deal. Most contracts are far more mundane.

- Driving to and from a meeting is at least 1 hour of your time and the meeting will be another hour.

- The total time is at least 2 hours…per person attending the meeting.

- 4 people in the room to sign = a whole work day wasted

Courier: expensive and slow

- Slow: couriered documents go from person to person – signing a multi-party contract can take weeks (Typically 1 week for every 2 people involved).

Email: surprisingly paper-intensive and slow

- Paper-intensive: each person prints the document, signs it, scans it, and emails it on…adding up to a lot of paper versions which get thrown away at the end.

- Slow: email delivery is quick, but printing, signing and scanning is slow.

- Prone to delays: the in-series nature of using email round-robins to sign contracts mean that people are often travelling or unavailable when it’s their turn, and the whole process gets held up.

Is it Legal?

Yes – most countries recognise online contract signature as valid, although some exclusions apply.

Given the extra records that online signature affords, e.g. IP addresses, encryption, checksums, system logs, signature-vector analysis, etc…in many ways online signature is more legally defensible than physical signature.
