◆ MANUAL SIGNING VS. LETSSIGN.NOW

A handwritten signature on a scan isn't worth more than a digital one.

Print, ink, scan, email — the workflow most teams still run. A scanned signature gets the same legal status as a typed name (Simple Electronic Signature). letssign.now ships the same legal tier, plus a tamper-evident PAdES seal, plus an RFC 3161 timestamp, plus a full audit trail of who saw what when. Without the printer.

If the contract ever ends up in court, a scanned signature can be repudiated easily ('that's not my signature, that's just a JPEG'). A letssign.now PDF has cryptographic proof that the signer's session was real and the bytes haven't moved since. Same legal class — much stronger evidence.
