How legal is signing contracts online?

Hahaha. It may seem a bit exaggerated but something like this happened when I spoke with my friend Nando , who I’m sure you know, about the public challenge I threw at him in my last post where I talked about How to sign contracts online legally using Signaturit . The challenge? Well, let me verify if what I say is true… hehehehe. Totally, if he is nicer… Look, I only needed him to make a few paragraphs about nothing and in the end he made an entire post.

The digital lawyer shows his opinion on the online signing of contracts

The digital lawyer shows his opinion on the online signing of contracts category email list Picking up the glove that hit my cheek in that vile way and was thrown by Víctor Campuzano through his blog and using Twitter as a “social media” accomplice (read with an ironic and more than affectionate tone), here you have me trying to give my legal opinion on the issue at hand. I will also try to exemplify my reasoning with Signaturit , the trust service that Víctor refers to in his post.

I have to differ on a couple of things with my good friend Victor :

a) We cannot accept something as good, neither from a legal point of view, nor from any SMS List other perspective, simply because its use is widespread. Perhaps it will help us to consider why everyone uses a certain service, but not as the final justification. Because indeed, they could all be doing it wrong, don’t you think? b) Secondly, because Víctor affirms that the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) and the Esign Act say that digital signatures are legal and valid. And that is very good, but those laws are North American. So we will have to resort to European and Spanish regulations. However, don’t worry, the conclusion is not too different.
