<h2>Are these signatures legally binding?</h2>
<p>They absolutely can be! Read more about it <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Signatures_in_Global_and_National_Commerce_Act">here</a></p>
<p>Under the ESIGN Act, some types of documents CAN NOT BE SIGNED ELECTRONICALLY. This includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Marriage, Birth, and Death certificates</li>
<li>Wills, codicils, and testamentary trusts</li>
<li>Depending on your state, "DNR" orders, general powers of attourney, and any document which specifies a physical signature.</li>
</ul>
<p>In summary (for the USA) all ESIGN Act requirements can be met:</p>
<ul>
<li>By generating the signature, and choosing to use it in a document, you are demonstrating intent to sign.</li>
<li>By using the signature you are consenting to do business electronically with those you are signing with.</li>
<li>The Opt-out clause is not applicable to generating a signature, since you can always choose not to use it.</li>
<li>All signers must recieve "Fully Executed" and fully signed copies of the document for the signature to be legally binding.</li>
<li>You may be required to retain digital records of the document under the ESIGN Act.</li>
</ul>
