How DocuSign® works

DocuSign® is very simple to use. KARL MAYER initiates the signature workflow for a contract via DocuSign after jointly completing the clarification of the content. The specified signatories of the contract then receive an email notification and can open the documents via a link on the platform, check them and finally sign them paperlessly (“with just one click”).

The benefit for you: The use of DocuSign® is free of charge for you and you do not need your own account with DocuSign® to sign contracts in a legally binding manner.

 

Electronic signature in just 3 steps

To submit your electronic signature, you only need to complete the following 3 steps:

1. CHECK

Check the DocuSign® email: Open the email and check the sender's message. Click on CHECK DOCUMENT to start the signing process.

2. SIGN

Start the signing process: Click on the START tag on the left to begin the signing process. Click on the SIGN tag: Work through the documents step by step.

3. CONFIRM

Confirm the signature: Once you have clicked on all the signature tags in the documents, confirm the signature by clicking on the FINISH tag.

After all parties have signed the contract, you will receive an email with the electronically signed contract in PDF format and the certificate of completion from DocuSign®.

 

Legally binding document signature

Your DocuSign® signature is as legally binding as a paper signature.

Electronic signatures or e-signatures are legally binding for almost all commercial transactions throughout the EU and the US. DocuSign® meets the strict regulations of the eIDAS regulation in the EU and the ESIGN and Uniform Electronic Transactions Acts in the US. KARL MAYER uses the simple electronic signature defined in eIDAS for all offers, contracts or other legal documents unless the written form is expressly required by law.
