Electronic Signature Consent

1. Signing electronically

A business that uses Gettled has sent you a quote, and possibly an agreement, to approve online. When you tick the box and sign, you agree that your electronic signature is the legal equivalent of your handwritten signature, and that you're approving the quote (and accepting any agreement in it) electronically instead of on paper.

This consent applies to the quote you're approving and any agreement included with it. The business you're signing with, not Gettled, is the other party to that quote or agreement.

2. What we record

To show who signed what and when, Gettled records with the quote:

• the full name you enter and your signature (typed, drawn or uploaded);
• your email address, if you give one;
• the date and time you signed, your IP address and your browser type;
• the option you chose, and a fingerprint (hash) of the quote and agreement text you approved, so any later change can be detected.

3. Your copy

If you give your email address, you'll be emailed a copy, including the signed agreement as a PDF if there is one. You can also open the quote from its link at any time, and see it in your client portal if the business has shared it. To get a paper copy, ask the business that sent the quote.

4. Choosing paper instead

You don't have to sign electronically. If you'd rather sign on paper, don't approve online; contact the business and ask for another way to approve. You can withdraw your consent to doing business electronically for future documents by telling the business. Withdrawing doesn't undo a signature you've already given.

5. What you need

You need a device with an up-to-date web browser and internet access to view, sign and keep these documents, and an email account if you want a copy by email. You can save or print the quote page or PDF to keep your own record.

6. The law

Electronic signatures are recognized under laws including the US Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), Part 2 of Canada's PIPEDA, and provincial electronic commerce laws. Some documents (for example, wills or certain real estate documents) can't be signed electronically; quotes for services generally can.

7. Questions

Questions about the quote itself go to the business that sent it. Questions about how Gettled records signatures: contact@gettled.com.
