ESIGN Consumer Disclosure

Please read this disclosure carefully before consenting to use electronic records and electronic signatures with Seald, a service operated by Eliran Azulay, an individual ("Seald", "we"). It describes your rights under the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7001(c)(1) ("ESIGN"), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act ("UETA") in states that have adopted it, and (in New York) the Electronic Signatures and Records Act ("ESRA"), N.Y. State Tech. Law § 301 et seq.

1. Scope of your consent

By clicking "I agree" or its equivalent on the Seald signing screen, you consent to receive, view, sign, and store the document presented to you in electronic form, and to receive in electronic form related notices, disclosures, and copies (the "Electronic Records"). Your consent applies to the specific transaction in which it is given. You will be asked to consent again for each new signing transaction; you are not consenting to receive every future communication from Seald or any sender electronically by clicking a single time.

2. Your right to a paper copy

You have the right to receive a paper copy of any Electronic Record we provide to you. To request a paper copy, send an email to privacy@seald.nromomentum.com with the subject line "Paper copy request" and a reference to the document or request identifier shown in your signing email. We will provide a paper copy free of charge for the first request per document; additional requests may be subject to a reasonable handling fee, which we will state in advance.

Requesting a paper copy does not by itself withdraw your consent to use Electronic Records.

3. Your right to withdraw consent

You may withdraw your consent to use Electronic Records at any time before signing the document by clicking Withdraw consent on the signing screen, or by emailing privacy@seald.nromomentum.com with the subject line "Withdraw electronic-records consent" and a reference to the document or request identifier.

3.1 Consequences of withdrawal

If you withdraw consent before signing, the signing request is cancelled and the document is not signed by you. The sender may then choose whether to offer you an alternative — including, if available, a paper copy you can sign by hand and return — or to terminate the request without alternative. Seald does not control whether a sender offers a paper alternative; you should ask the sender directly.

Withdrawing consent is prospective only. It does not invalidate documents you have already signed electronically with Seald, and it does not erase the audit trail already recorded for those documents.

4. How to update your contact information

If your email address changes, contact the sender directly, using the email address shown in your signing invitation, and ask them to send the request to your new address. Only the sender can change a signer's address. You can also email privacy@seald.nromomentum.com with the subject line "Update contact information". We are not responsible for missed Electronic Records caused by an out-of-date contact address.

5. Hardware and software you need

To access, sign, and retain the Electronic Records, you need:

  • A device with internet access (computer, tablet, or smartphone).
  • A current version of a major web browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or Brave — released within the last twenty-four (24) months, with JavaScript and cookies enabled.
  • A working email account to receive signing invitations and notifications.
  • A PDF reader (Adobe Acrobat Reader, the macOS Preview app, or any modern browser's built-in PDF viewer) to view and retain the sealed PDF after signing.
  • Local storage available to download and save the sealed PDF and audit trail. The uploaded PDF can be up to 25 megabytes; a seal and extra pages can make the file you download larger.
  • For signers using a touchscreen, an input method that lets you draw a signature.

We may update these requirements from time to time. If a change materially affects your ability to access or retain Electronic Records, we will provide notice and a renewed opportunity to consent or to withdraw consent.

6. Confirming your ability to access

Federal ESIGN, § 7001(c)(1)(C)(ii), requires that your consent be given in a manner that "reasonably demonstrates" that you can access the Electronic Records in the form they will be delivered. Before you start signing, the Seald signing screen links to this disclosure, which opens in your browser, and asks you to check two boxes: "I have read Seald's ESIGN Consumer Disclosure and consent to use electronic signatures and electronic records for this document." and "I can open and download a PDF on this device." By checking them, you confirm that you can open this page and can open, download, and save PDF documents on the device you are using. The document is then shown as a PDF on the next screen. If it doesn't open, don't sign, and tell the sender. Seald records these confirmations, this disclosure's version, the time, and your IP address and browser user-agent in the audit trail.

7. Retention of Electronic Records

Once everyone has signed, Seald stores the completed PDF and a separate audit trail (Certificate of Completion). When a seal is applied, the PDF carries a PAdES digital seal, and a trusted timestamp is added only when a timestamp authority responds. You'll receive an email with a link to download the completed PDF, and you can also get it from the verification URL printed on the audit trail. Please download and keep your own copy. We don't currently delete completed records on a schedule, but we don't promise to keep them, or to keep backup copies of them, for any particular period, and the verification page may not always be available. The sender is responsible for keeping any records it is required to keep.

8. Document categories not covered by ESIGN

Federal ESIGN, § 7003, excludes certain document categories from electronic execution. The Seald Service is not appropriate for, and our Acceptable Use Policy prohibits, electronic signing of:

  • Wills, codicils, and testamentary trusts;
  • Adoption, divorce, and other family-law instruments;
  • Court orders, judgments, and court filings;
  • Notices of cancellation or termination of utility services;
  • Notices of default, foreclosure, or eviction;
  • Notices of cancellation of health or life-insurance benefits;
  • Product recalls or notices that affect health or safety;
  • Documents required by law to accompany the transportation of hazardous materials;
  • Negotiable instruments under UCC Article 3;
  • Other documents excluded by your state's UETA or, in New York, by ESRA.

Some categories require a Qualified Electronic Signature ("QES") under Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 ("eIDAS") in EU member states (notably Germany, France, Italy, and Spain). Seald records a simple electronic signature. It is not an advanced or qualified electronic signature. If you are signing under EU member-state law, consult counsel about whether a qualified electronic signature is required.
