Importance of the Contract Log
While the appearance of signatures or approvals on the electronically signed document is visible, the contract log provides the underlying proof of authenticity. SignRequest verifies all signatures and inputs on the electronic document, making the contract log a crucial element, especially in the event of disputes.
In summary, the contract log serves as robust validation of all actions taken by signers, offering undeniable proof and reinforcing the legal standing of the signed document.
