Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Can talent and agents sign entertainment contracts on their phones?

Yes. Zignature's signing experience is fully mobile-optimised and works on any smartphone browser — no app download required. You can also send signing invitations via SMS, which is preferred by many talent representatives.

How do we handle multi-party entertainment deals (talent, manager, label, distributor)?

Zignature's multi-party signing workflow handles complex deal structures with any number of parties. You can configure sequential signing (label signs before artist) or parallel signing (all parties sign simultaneously), with each party seeing only their required fields.

Are electronically signed talent releases legally valid for content clearance?

Yes. E-signed talent and model releases are legally binding under the ESIGN Act and UETA in the US and eIDAS in the EU. The audit trail providing evidence of informed consent is essential for stock content libraries and advertising clearance.

How do we track music sync licence expirations across our catalogue?

Zignature's contract registry with expiry date tracking lets you monitor licence terms across your entire content catalogue. Automated alerts fire at configurable intervals before expiry — ensuring you negotiate renewals before inadvertent rights violations occur.

Can we embed signing into our talent management or distribution platform?

Yes. Zignature's embeddable signing API and iframe integration allow you to embed contract signing directly into your existing talent management, catalogue management, or distribution platform — keeping talent in your branded environment.

How do we manage rights clearances for archival content being re-released?

Create a clearance template specific to archival re-release that covers new distribution territories, digital platforms, and updated term periods. Zignature's bulk send feature lets you dispatch clearance requests to multiple rights holders simultaneously, with completion tracking per holder.
