I wonder what happens to documents that were signed with this thing after they kill the product.
Also, I wonder if the person signing the document has to agree to Google's entire ToS in order to sign the document.
Congress could fix both issues with some well-thought-out legislation:
- Signatures from these things have to support external validation via standard tools (e.g., Google uses PGP or whatever to sign the signature + document + metadata).
- If the act of accessing or signing a contract implicitly incorporates other contracts, then either (a) the signature is non-binding of (b) the incorporated contracts are rendered unenforceable, regardless of whether they were agreed to via other means.
- jbverschoor 3y agoIt's funny, this is exactly what I was wondering.
- booleandilemma 3y agoDocuSign should start working on their "Import from Google Docs" feature.
- HatchedLake721 3y agoThey can even run a marketing/TV campaign around this, lol. “Google Docs ships with esignatures now… but how long until Google kills another one of their products? Stay safe with DocuSign, import your Google Docs signatures and keep them forever, with or without Google.”
