Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Are electronically signed MOUs legally binding?

An MOU's binding nature depends on its language, not the signature method. Provisions explicitly intended to be binding are enforceable regardless of whether the MOU was signed electronically or in ink. Zignature's audit trail provides strong evidence of execution.

What's the difference between an MOU and an LOI?

Both are pre-contractual documents, but MOUs are more commonly used in public sector, non-profit, and academic contexts — emphasising cooperation and shared intent rather than commercial transactions. LOIs are more common in M&A and real estate contexts.

Can government agencies use Zignature for inter-agency MOUs?

Yes. Zignature's SOC 2 Type II certification and federal compliance standards (ESIGN Act, UETA) make it suitable for government inter-agency use. FedRAMP authorization should be confirmed for federal agency use.

How many parties can sign an MOU via Zignature?

Zignature supports unlimited parties. Each party receives a unique signing link, and the document is only executed when all required parties have signed (or a configured minimum quorum).

Can an MOU include annexes or schedules for each party?

Yes. Upload the MOU and all annexes as a multi-document package. Parties can be assigned to sign the main body plus their specific schedule, while other sections are view-only for them.

How do I update an MOU when its term expires?

Create an MOU renewal template in Zignature. Set expiry tracking on the original MOU — at expiry, the renewal is sent automatically to all parties for re-signing with updated term dates.
