1. Introduction & Acceptance
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and ZSign, Inc. (“ZSign,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the ZSign platform, including our website, applications, APIs, and all related services (collectively, the “Service”).
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.
2. Service Description
ZSign is a document automation and electronic signature platform that enables users to create, edit, send, sign, and manage documents electronically. The Service includes a rich-text document editor, electronic signature workflows, template management, payment collection, analytics, and integrations with third-party services.
3. Account Terms

4. Electronic Signatures — Legal Validity
Electronic signatures executed through ZSign are intended to be legally binding and enforceable under applicable law, including but not limited to:

By using ZSign to execute documents, all parties acknowledge and consent to the use of electronic signatures and agree that such signatures carry the same legal weight as handwritten signatures. ZSign maintains a comprehensive audit trail for each signature event, including signer identity, IP address, timestamp, and document hash.
Disclaimer: ZSign does not provide legal advice. Certain document types (e.g., wills, court orders, specific real estate instruments) may be excluded from electronic signature laws in some jurisdictions. You are responsible for ensuring that e-signatures are appropriate for your specific use case.
