E-signature laws are designed to create a framework for the use of electronic signatures in a manner that is equivalent to traditional handwritten signatures. In the United States, the primary legislation governing e-signatures is the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act of 2000 and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). These laws provide assurance that electronic signatures cannot be easily repudiated and carry the same legal weight as their handwritten counterparts. Similar laws exist in other countries that authorize the use of e-signatures in various legal documents such as contracts, agreements, and records, thereby enabling seamless digital transactions.
