Electronic Signature Disclosure and Consent
Effective August 7, 2026
Please read this before you sign anything. It explains what an electronic signature means, and it is the reason a change order signed in ScopeSign carries the same weight as one signed on paper.
This disclosure is provided by E Marketing Solutions LLC, New York, NY, operator of ScopeSign, in accordance with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (the ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. 7001) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) as adopted in your state.
1. What you are agreeing to
When you draw your name on a ScopeSign signing page and tap the approval button, you are signing a document electronically. That signature has the same legal effect as a signature written in ink on paper. The change order becomes part of your agreement with your contractor. You are also agreeing to receive that document, and records relating to it, electronically rather than on paper.
2. What gets recorded when you sign
To make the signed record reliable, ScopeSign records: the image of the signature you drew; the name you typed; the exact date and time you signed; the IP address and browser you signed from; every event leading up to it — when the change order was sent, when it was delivered, and each time the page was opened; the contractor’s own signature, which was applied before the document was sent to you; and the contractor’s approximate location at the moment they issued it, where they have allowed that. All of this appears on the PDF both parties receive. None of it can be edited afterwards, by either party or by us.
3. Both parties sign
A change order is an amendment to a contract. In several states — including California (Business and Professions Code 7159) and New York (General Business Law 771) — an amendment is only part of the contract if it is in writing and signed by the parties, before the additional work begins. ScopeSign is built to that standard. The contractor’s signature is applied to the document before it is sent to you. Yours is captured when you approve it. Both appear on the same PDF, and both are dated.
4. You do not have to sign electronically
Signing electronically is your choice. If you would rather not, tell your contractor and ask them to bring you a paper change order to sign in person. Declining to sign electronically does not affect your existing contract in any way, and there is no penalty for it. If you have already consented and want to withdraw that consent for future documents, tell your contractor, or email us at scopesignapp@gmail.com. Withdrawing consent does not undo a change order you have already signed.
5. Getting a paper copy
Every signed change order is delivered to you as a PDF by text message, and the link stays live. You can save it, print it, or forward it at any time, at no cost. If you would like us to post a paper copy to you, email scopesignapp@gmail.com with the change order number. We do not charge for this.
6. Keeping your copy
We recommend you save the PDF somewhere you will still have it in a year. If you lose the link, the contractor who sent it can send it again, or you can email us.
7. What you need in order to sign
To sign and to keep a copy, you need: a phone, tablet or computer with a current web browser; an internet connection; a phone number able to receive text messages; and somewhere to save or print a PDF. If your equipment changes in a way that stops you receiving these documents, email us and we will find another way to get them to you.
