E-signing makes all the difference
Not all signatures are created equal. That’s not just our opinion, it’s the European Union’s eIDAS Regulation. It defines the use of electronic signature methods for the EU’s internal market. The eIDAS Regulation distinguishes between a simple electronic signature (SES), an advanced electronic signature (AES), and a qualified electronic signature (QES). The QES is the most secure option because it links the signature to a personal certificate.
Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)
The Qualified Electronic Signature can be used for virtually all types of contracts, such as employment contracts, notices of termination, and standard contract forms used in everyday business. According to Article 25(2) of eIDAS, the QES has the same legal validity as a handwritten signature and can therefore also satisfy the written form requirement.
By using the QES, you achieve a reversal of the burden of proof and thus a higher level of enforceability.
Simple Electronic Signature (SES)
The Simple Electronic Signature is the simplest form of electronic signature, which does not need to meet any specific technical requirements. It includes any type of digital mark that confirms a person’s identity, such as a scanned name, a checkmark in a digital document, or clicking an “Agree” button.
SES differs from advanced and qualified electronic signatures in that it does not require additional authentication or encryption and is therefore less secure.
SES can be used for all contracts that are not subject to a specific form requirement and that carry only a low liability risk.
