Electronic signature software empowers businesses to obtain legally valid signatures on documents completely online, with no paper, printing, or faxing. Documents are completed in minutes, accelerating business deals and eliminating hassles for all parties.
RightSignature pioneered electronic signature software with its web-based application, which requires no downloads, plug-ins, or installs for senders or signers. The software is intuitive and easy-to-use: Simply upload any file (pdf, doc, and dozens of other formats are supported), indicate signers’ names and email addresses, place any necessary text fields or signature boxes, and click send. Signers may fill out and sign documents online using any computer, laptop, or even mobile device such as an iPhone or iPad.
