Ask HN: Signing an NDA online?
I've been emailed a few NDAs to digitally 'sign' by typing my name and then email back. Does anybody know if this is a legal method?

- russell 17y agoIt probably varies state by state, but various forms of digital signing are legal. If you are the signer, why do you care if they are enforceable? The weaker the legality, the better off you are. OTOH dont sign anything online that you wouldn't on paper.
- Tangurena 17y agoAgreed. This procedure isn't enforceable. So as long as it makes the other party happy, without making you liable for diddly squat, then go for it.
- icey 17y agoThis is dangerous advice. You can't possibly know whether or not it's enforceable without knowing where he is, or what the agreement is.
