Frequently asked questions

What is an online contract?

Expand or collapse accordion

An online contract is an agreement that is drafted, signed and executed electronically via the internet. Online contracts are designed to be read and signed without the need for physical paper. Signing is done using eSignature technology, whereby a signature can be added to the contract in a variety of different ways. These include uploading a photo of an existing signature, drawing one manually using a cursor or typing and then customizing the font, all within a signature box that can be moved to different positions on the online contract.

Is it legal to sign online contracts?

Expand or collapse accordion

Dropbox Sign complies with the requirements of the U.S. Electronic Signature in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (ESIGN), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and the European Union eIDAS (EU No.910/2014) regarding electronic signatures and transmissions, thus making eSignatures fast, easy, and legally binding. For more information about what documents are legal, you can check out our blog post on eSignature legality here.

What contracts can I sign using Dropbox Sign?

Expand or collapse accordion

Some examples of the kinds of contracts that work perfectly for online contract signing with Dropbox Sign include: freelance contracts, offer letters, non-compete agreements, purchase orders, investment paperwork, leases, loan applications…and many, many more.

Is a digital contract the same as an online contract?

Expand or collapse accordion

Unlike an electronic and digital signature, a ‘digital contract’ and ‘online contract’ refers to the same thing. That is to say, an agreement that has been drafted, signed and executed electronically online. Examples of digital contracts that can be executed online include lease agreements, sales contracts, NDAs, and HR paperwork.
