Electronic Signatures for Home Inspection Agreements
As the digital age progresses, paper contracts are quickly
becoming outdated. Many inspectors now use InterNACHI's Online Agreement
System, and even those who don't may be asking clients to approve
agreements by fax or email. We want to provide a brief overview of the
law regarding electronic signatures and offer some helpful tips to
inspectors who rely on them.
You must first understand the difference between a digital signature and an electronic signature.
