Hi

I am looking at a solution for my client for their sales persons to have their agreements with them on some sort of tablet for the client to sign on site without the need of any paper work. Does anyone know a good clean solution for this without reinventing the wheel?
 
Digitally signed documents will not stand up in court, we deal a lot with this at the office as we want to make our environment paperless. But there is some sort of requirement for this to work. Things may have changed but when we looked at this last year it was still valid.

Really? The bank accepts them, although they probably don't know its digitally signed :p

Really what bank, because FNB surely doesnt and neither does ABSA (which we work with daily). Im not talking about signing on acceptance of goods, im talking about contracts legally binding ones.

You can do it but im saying is if it had to go to the courts there may be some legal wrangling involved. That is what we where told.

We spend close to 50k on paper a month so we want to get rid of it, we are digitizing most of our contracts, we have written our own document storage facility which we shall use.

Bought a car last year financed through MFC. Dealer had me sign digitally. Not a single document was printed. Was emailed a copy of all the paperwork.

So is my finance agreement not legally binding if I choose to default?

Like i said before you get all huffy and puffy this is what we where told... unless you mentally blocked that part out. We where told by ABSA and FNB that the courts may request for the original hard copy.
 
We use epadlink integrisign for contracts. You supposedly can prove what was signed, which would hold up to auditors but not sure about courts.

Done with both FNB and ABSA in the past. (re: credit cards). Hence my question, I've also done it before with a cellphone contract.

So its interesting it won't hold up in court.

Yep we've had fun with courts, they are full of ****.
 
I'm assuming the bank thought they were scanned copies, not digitally signed, but they never saw the original :p

No, we dont deal with scanned copies our lawyers hold originals all the time.
 
For our loans product we only use voice recording, as the contract, not a single document is signed.
