Maximum Confidentiality

Settlement Documents with Maximum Access Control

Settlement agreements are highly sensitive. Zignature's access controls restrict settlement document visibility to only authorised parties — no account-level cross-contamination of sensitive terms.

  • Document-level access — Settlement document only accessible to named parties — no wider visibility.
  • Link expiry — Signing links expire after configurable period — prevent unintended access.
  • View-only audit — Track every viewing event — know if additional parties accessed the document.

Signed Settlements That Hold Up in Court

A settlement agreement is only as strong as the evidence of execution. Zignature's audit trail — timestamp, IP address, signer identity, document hash — provides the irrefutable execution evidence needed for enforcement.

  • Signer identity — Identity verification available for high-value or disputed settlements.
  • Timestamp precision — UTC-precise signature timestamps — no ambiguity on execution date.
  • Cryptographic seal — Any post-signing modification immediately detectable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Are electronically signed settlement agreements enforceable?

Yes. Under the ESIGN Act and UETA, settlement agreements executed electronically are legally binding and enforceable. Courts have repeatedly upheld electronically executed settlement agreements. The audit trail provides strong evidence of voluntary execution.

Can employment settlement agreements be signed electronically?

Yes. ADEA waivers (age discrimination) have specific 21/7-day consideration and revocation period requirements under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act — these procedural requirements apply regardless of signature method. Zignature's timing records provide evidence of compliance.

How does Zignature protect the confidentiality of settlement terms?

Settlement documents in Zignature are only accessible to named parties. Access logs track every view event. Signing links expire after a configurable period. No other Zignature users can access the document.

Can I require identity verification for a high-value settlement agreement?

Yes. Zignature's identity verification option requires the signer to upload a government ID and selfie before signing — creating maximum identity assurance for high-value settlement executions.

Does Zignature support counterpart execution of settlement agreements?

Yes. Settlement agreements often include counterpart execution clauses. Each party signs their counterpart via Zignature — all counterparts are combined into a single executed agreement.

How long should I retain signed settlement agreements?

Retain settlement agreements for the applicable statute of limitations for breach of contract in your jurisdiction, plus additional years for certainty. Configure Zignature's retention policy to match your legal hold requirements.
