E-signatures and what makes them binding

MeloDocs signatures record the signer, timestamp, IP and the exact document version signed, and the signed paper is sealed against edits. That audit trail is what the ESIGN Act and UETA ask for.

The certificate rides with the document — download the PDF and the evidence page is the last sheet.

What makes it hold up is not the squiggle, it is the record: who signed, when, from where, and exactly what they saw — sealed so a changed comma is detectable. If a dispute ever reaches a lawyer, you hand over one PDF and the evidence page answers the questions before they are asked.
