Yes. Free electronic signatures are just as legally valid as paid ones. The legality of an electronic signature depends on the process and intent behind it, not whether the software is free or paid. Here is what the law says:
The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN), signed into federal law in 2000, establishes that electronic signatures and electronic records are legally valid and enforceable, just like their paper and ink counterparts. Under ESIGN, a signature cannot be denied legal effect solely because it is in electronic form. ShockSign's free electronic signatures fully comply with ESIGN requirements, including capturing signer intent, consent to do business electronically, and maintaining accurate records.
UETA has been adopted by 49 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. It provides the legal framework for electronic transactions at the state level, confirming that electronic records and signatures satisfy legal requirements for written signatures. UETA requires that all parties consent to conduct transactions electronically, which ShockSign captures and records as part of every signing event.
The eIDAS regulation (Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services) governs electronic signatures across the European Union. It recognizes three levels of electronic signatures: simple, advanced, and qualified. ShockSign's signatures meet the requirements for simple and advanced electronic signatures under eIDAS, which are legally admissible in court and valid for the vast majority of business transactions in the EU.
For any electronic signature to hold up in court, it needs to demonstrate: clear intent to sign, consent to do business electronically, an association between the signature and the document, and a reliable record of the signing process. ShockSign provides all of this through its audit trail, which records the signer's email, IP address, timestamp, browser information, and a tamper-evident hash of the document. This audit trail is included with every document, whether you are on a free or paid plan.
