Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Can field workers sign safety documents in areas with limited connectivity?

Yes. Zignature's signing page is optimised for low-bandwidth environments. The page loads and caches locally — workers can complete the signing process offline, and the response is submitted when connectivity is restored.

Are electronically signed right-of-way agreements legally valid?

Yes. Under the ESIGN Act and UETA, electronic signatures on real property agreements including easements and right-of-way grants are legally binding, provided both parties consent. Some jurisdictions may require recording of the executed agreement with a county recorder.

How does Zignature handle permit-to-work multi-party sign-offs?

Zignature's sequential signing workflow is ideal for permit-to-work systems. The issuing authority signs first, then the performing contractor, with each step timestamped and recorded. The complete permit is only activated when all required signatures are collected.

Can renewable energy developers use Zignature for PPA negotiations?

Yes. Power purchase agreements can be executed via Zignature with multi-party signing for developer, offtaker, and any required lender or regulatory consent parties. The negotiation process can be managed through Zignature's revision workflow before final execution.

How do we ensure contractors have completed safety inductions before site access?

Zignature's completion tracking integrates with site access control systems via API. Gate access can be conditionally granted only after the site access system receives confirmation from Zignature that the contractor's safety induction documents are fully signed.

Does Zignature meet the requirements for NERC CIP compliance documentation?

Zignature's audit trail, access control, and data security features support NERC CIP compliance documentation workflows. All electronic access authorisations, training acknowledgements, and policy sign-offs are captured with the timestamped evidence required by NERC CIP standards.
