UETA & swipesign

What are the E-SIGN Act and UETA — and how does swipesign comply?

In the United States, electronic signatures are legally recognized through two key laws:

• ESIGN Act (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act)
• UETA (Uniform Electronic Transactions Act)

These laws ensure that electronic signatures have the same legal effect as handwritten signatures, provided certain core requirements are met.

How swipesign complies with U.S. electronic signature laws

swipesign is designed to meet the standards outlined in both the E-SIGN Act and UETA by ensuring that:

• The signer clearly intends to sign the document
• The signer consents to using an electronic signature
• The signed document is stored in a secure, accessible format
• The signature is attributable to the signer through identity verification and audit trails

In addition to meeting international requirements like eIDAS, swipesign signatures are legally valid and enforceable in the U.S. for most business and contractual use cases — including those governed by the E-SIGN Act and UETA.
