What is the intent of e-Sign and UETA?
E-Sign and UETA were enacted to create uniformity in electronic transactions and to ensure equivalency between electronic signatures, contracts and records and their paper counterparts. To achieve this purpose, both E-Sign and UETA state that no signature, contract, or record relating to a transaction can be denied legal validity or enforceability solely because it is an electronic format, or solely because an electronic signature or electronic record was used in its formation.
