Jurisdictions
Causfy’s electronic-signature infrastructure is designed to be compatible with the leading legal frameworks for electronic signatures worldwide. Here’s where your signatures hold legal weight.
Legal Notice on Electronic Signatures: The legal validity of an electronic signature depends on the specific case, jurisdiction, applicable requirements, and the type of signature used. Causfy’s infrastructure is designed to be compatible with the requirements of eIDAS Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 for electronic signatures. The classification of a signature as Simple (SES), Advanced (AES), or Qualified (QES) under eIDAS depends on the specific process and providers used. Electronic evidence generated by Causfy may be used as verifiable electronic evidence subject to applicable legislation in each jurisdiction. Causfy does not warrant universal legal validity in all jurisdictions or for all use cases.
Causfy’s signature infrastructure is designed to be compatible with major electronic signature regulatory frameworks:
- eIDAS (EU): Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services — the primary reference framework for electronic signatures in the European Union. More info on Wikipedia.
- ESIGN Act (USA): Federal law enacted in 2000 regarding electronic signatures and contracts.
- UETA (USA): The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, adopted by most US states.
- Other International Jurisdictions: The infrastructure is designed to be compatible with electronic signature frameworks in numerous additional jurisdictions (see the full table below). Compatibility does not guarantee legal validity in all use cases or jurisdictions.
