Q: Are digital signatures legally valid?
A: Yes. The UK has adopted and implemented certain provisions of the EU’s Electronic Commerce Directive in the Electronic Communications Act 2000, which makes digital legally admissible in the UK. The Consumer Credit Act of 1974 was amended in 2004 to further facilitate the electronic signing of credit agreements.
Section 7 of the Electronic Communications Act states that in any legal proceedings, an electronic or digital signature incorporated into or logically associated with a particular electronic communication shall be admissible into evidence in relation to questions as to the authenticity or integrity of the communication or data.
Q: Is Agreement Express secure?
A: Agreement Express takes every practical step to protect you and your data. Agreement Express has been designed to provide state-of-the-art security.
The following security features are available:
• All communications on the site and all documents e-mailed through Agreement Express are encrypted with full 128-bit SSL security.
• Your account and all your documents on Agreement Express are password protected and no other person can access your data unless you grant them permission.
• All passwords and account data are encrypted with RSA keys.
• Agreement Express’s servers are housed in secure facilities with power and Internet backup.
Digital signatures are inherently more secure than fax machines and the postal service. With the added security of needing to log into an e-mail account combined with a locked PDF document accessible only via encrypted links, the actual contract never leaves the Agreement Express system.
