Electronic Signature Disclosure


Download Securely is used as a medium in which we facilitate the use of electronic signatures in signing documents and records. The initiating party will use our services in order to have the signatory complete a record or document needing to be signed, viewed, or accepted. Underneath the United States of America ESIGN act, signers need to give consent and be aware of their rights and obligations through electronic signatures.

As a signer, you have the following options:

  • By clicking the "I agree" button through the unique eSignature link sent, you agree and consent to do business electronically. This includes all disclosures, documents (attached or viewed), notices, and authorizations to process data.
  • Any information that you provide within the document or record being viewed or signed -- be it personal, confidential, or for business -- you are giving permission to the initiating party to handle the submitted data in a way they see fit for their business or personal transactions and needs.
  • You have the right to withdraw your consent from doing business electronically. To do so, simply click the "I decline" button within the unique eSignature link sent to confirm this. An email will be sent to the initiating party letting them know that your consent has been withdrawn.
  • You have the right to do business in person and through a paper format. You must inform the initiating party and let know them know of your desire to do so. They can then try and setup options to meet the requirements you have to complete any records or documents.
  • If you change your mind during the process, you must inform the initiating party and also go back and click "I decline". Keep in mind that this will decrease the speed and efficiency of the signing process and will take longer to complete the records/documents.
  • If you sign a document without withdrawing your consent and later to decide to withdraw, the document will remain valid. You must contact the initiator and work out a solution if the process has already been completed and you are attempting to retract the signing.

You must give consent each time your signature is required electronically. This means that even if you withdrew your consent for a previous document, the next document that you receive electronically that requests your approval or signature will restart the consent process.


If you have changed your email address, you must alert the initiator and provide them with your current email. This will speed up the signing process and will prevent the email with the signing link from not being seen.


If you need a paper copy and do not have access to a printer or cannot print a paper copy, it is your responsibility to reach out to the inititator and request a paper copy by providing them with your name, address, and the titles of the paperwork needed.


As certain documents are exempt from the ESIGN acts provisions, it is your responsibility to determine if the document type being signed is permitted and enforceable via eSignature. Some states have their own local laws, regulations, and provisions regarding electronic signatures and it is advised to check with a local attorney, or if you have a compliance team, to verify if the said document or record can be signed electronically.
