Schedule 2 — Electronic Signature Consent & Terms
Schedule 2 — Electronic Signature Consent & Terms
1. Consent to electronic process
By selecting an electronic-signature action, the sender and signatory consent to receive, review and execute the relevant record electronically and to the creation of electronic evidence associated with the signing process, subject to any right under applicable law to request another format.
2. Electronic records
The signing service may record events such as delivery, viewing, link access, commencement, completion, decline and email verification, together with timestamps, IP address, user agent, session identifiers, document integrity information and related audit evidence.
3. Authority
Each signatory represents that they are the person identified in the signing request or are duly authorised to sign for the identified entity or party. A sender must not send a signing request to a person whom the sender knows lacks authority.
4. Identity and authentication
Unless expressly stated otherwise, NLS does not perform governmental identity verification or warrant the civil identity of a signatory merely because a signing link was accessed or an email address was verified. The sender remains responsible for selecting any additional identification process appropriate to the transaction.
5. Signature classification
The electronic signing functionality is intended to facilitate electronic execution and evidentiary records. NLS does not represent that a signature is a qualified electronic signature or advanced electronic signature under Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 unless NLS expressly identifies the specific signing method as such.
6. Evidence and integrity
The Platform may produce a completed document and audit trail and may use technical integrity controls. Users should retain the completed document and associated audit evidence. The legal effect and evidential weight of a signature depend on applicable law and the facts of the transaction.
7. Withdrawal / paper alternative
Where applicable law requires a right to use paper or withdraw consent to electronic records, the signatory may contact the sender or NLS using the contact method provided in the signing workflow. Withdrawal does not invalidate an electronic signature already validly completed before withdrawal.
8. Retention
Signing evidence may be retained for the period necessary for the transaction, legal obligations, dispute resolution and establishment/exercise/defence of legal claims, subject to the Privacy Policy and DPA.
Signer-screen disclosure
By continuing, you agree to review and sign this document electronically. The signing process records technical evidence including timestamps, IP address, browser/device information and signing events and produces an audit trail. Electronic signatures can have legal effect. Review the document carefully before signing. NLS provides the signing technology and is not a party to the underlying transaction or your legal adviser.
