Electronic Signature Disclosure

Inkly is an online platform that lets people send, complete, sign, and store documents electronically. When you sign through Inkly, there are usually three parties involved.

• You, the signer, received a private link to review and sign a document. You typically do not need an Inkly account to sign.
• The sender is the person or business that prepared the document and asked you to sign it. The sender decides what the document says and who needs to sign it.
• Inkly provides the signing technology. Inkly delivers the document, lets you complete and sign it, and keeps a record of the signing process on the sender's behalf.

Inkly is not a party to the agreement you are signing and does not control the document's contents. The sender is responsible for deciding whether the document is appropriate for electronic signature and for providing any document-specific notices, disclosures, or instructions required by law.

The law does not require you to do business electronically. By selecting an "I agree," "Continue," "Start," "Sign," "Submit," or similar button or checkbox in the Inkly signing flow, or by otherwise using Inkly to review, complete, or sign a document electronically, you consent to use electronic records and electronic signatures for that signing transaction.

This includes using electronic signatures, initials, checkboxes, typed names, uploaded or drawn signature images, button clicks, field entries, and other electronic actions to sign, initial, approve, acknowledge, or complete documents.

The fact that you can open this disclosure, open your document, and complete the fields on your device helps demonstrate that you are able to access information in the electronic form Inkly uses.

When you adopt a signature or initials and submit your document, your electronic signature is intended to have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature on paper. You should not sign electronically unless you intend to be bound by the document you are signing.

An electronic signature, electronic record, or contract formed electronically cannot be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is electronic. This principle is established by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN Act) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) as adopted by most U.S. states.

Your electronic signature is created when you take clear action in the signing flow, such as adopting a signature or initials, completing assigned fields, selecting required checkboxes, or submitting the document.

Taking those steps indicates that you intend to sign, initial, approve, acknowledge, or complete the document as shown in the signing flow.

Inkly is designed to link your signature, initials, field values, and signing actions to the specific document presented to you and to the record of your signing session.

Your consent applies to the document or documents in the signing request you received and to related records, such as signature fields, initials, form fields, notices, disclosures, completion certificates, audit trails, confirmation pages, and copies of the signed document.

Unless a separate agreement says otherwise, your consent through Inkly does not automatically apply to unrelated future transactions with the sender. If the sender later sends you a new document to sign, you will be asked to review and sign that document separately.

If you are signing on behalf of a company or another person, you confirm that you have authority to sign electronically for that party.

You do not have to sign electronically. If you do not want to use electronic signatures or electronic records for a document, do not proceed with the electronic signing process.

Before you finish, you can choose not to submit the document, close the signing session, or use the decline option if the sender has enabled one.

To request a paper or non-electronic process, contact the sender directly and ask whether they can provide another signing method. Inkly may not be able to provide an alternative signing method unless the sender supports one.

Choosing not to sign electronically may delay the transaction, and the sender may decide whether and how to provide a paper or alternative process.

You may withdraw your consent to use electronic signatures and electronic records for a signing transaction before you complete and submit the document by closing the signing session, declining to sign, or contacting the sender.

If you withdraw consent before completing the document, you may not be able to continue signing that document electronically through Inkly unless you later provide consent again.

Withdrawing consent applies going forward. It does not affect the legal validity or enforceability of electronic records or signatures completed before your withdrawal became effective.

For completed documents, contact the sender if you have questions about withdrawing consent for future communications or future transactions. Inkly may not control the sender's future communications with you outside the Inkly platform.

Before you consent and sign electronically, you should confirm that you can access, view, download, save, and print the document and related records.

After a document is completed, Inkly may make a copy available to you by email, through the signing link, or through another method chosen by the sender. You should download and keep your own copy for your records when one is made available.

You may request a paper copy of a document or related record from the sender. The sender, not Inkly, is responsible for deciding whether to provide paper copies and whether any fee applies, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

If you cannot access, view, download, save, or print the document, do not sign electronically. Contact the sender for assistance or for an alternative process.

To access, sign, download, and retain electronic records through Inkly, you need:

• a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access;
• a current version of a common web browser, such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge, with cookies and JavaScript enabled;
• an active email account or other communication method used by the sender to send you the private signing link;
• software or browser functionality that can open and read PDF files;
• software or browser functionality that allows you to download, save, and print electronic records;
• enough storage space or printer access if you want to retain copies of documents and records; and
• a screen large enough to read the document comfortably.

Some features may not work properly on outdated browsers, restricted devices, or networks that block required web functionality. If these requirements change in a way that materially affects your ability to access or retain electronic records, Inkly or the sender may provide updated requirements where required by law.

Inkly and the sender rely on the name, email address, and other contact information supplied for you to deliver the document and manage the signing process. If that information is incorrect or changes, contact the sender before signing so your records can reach you.

Because most Inkly recipients do not have Inkly accounts, Inkly may not be able to update your contact information for the sender. The sender is responsible for maintaining its own contact records.

To help show who signed, what they signed, and that the document was not altered afterward, Inkly may record information about the signing process. This record may include:

• the signer name and email address supplied by the sender;
• timestamps for events such as document sent, opened, viewed, fields completed, signed, submitted, declined, or completed;
• IP address;
• user agent, browser, operating system, and device information;
• time zone and approximate location inferred from IP address;
• document status and completion events;
• field values entered by the signer;
• signature and initial images or representations;
• consent, acknowledgment, and submission events; and
• other technical or transaction information related to the signing process.

This information may be included in or associated with a certificate of completion, audit log, evidence summary, or similar record. It helps show signer intent, connect the signature to the document, support fraud prevention, and create an audit trail for the completed document.

Inkly does not guarantee that this information proves a signer's identity in every situation. The sender remains responsible for choosing appropriate signer authentication and document workflows for the transaction.

Electronic signatures are valid for many everyday agreements, but they are not appropriate for every document or situation. Some documents or notices may be excluded from electronic signature laws or may require additional procedures, identity verification, notarization, witnesses, paper delivery, or other formalities.

Depending on federal and state law, electronic signatures may not be appropriate, or may not be legally sufficient on their own, for documents such as:

• wills, codicils, and testamentary trusts;
• matters of family law, such as adoption and divorce;
• certain documents governed by the Uniform Commercial Code, other than the parts the law specifically includes;
• court orders, pleadings, and other official court documents;
• certain notices about cancelling essential services, such as utility shut-offs, health or life insurance cancellation, or notices related to default, foreclosure, eviction, or repossession of a primary residence;
• product recall or safety notices; and
• any other document a specific law requires to be on paper or handled a particular way.

The sender is responsible for determining whether a document may be signed electronically through Inkly. If your document falls into one of these categories, or you are not sure, check with the sender or your own advisor before signing.

Inkly provides technology for electronic document signing. Inkly does not provide legal advice and does not determine whether any document is legally valid, enforceable, complete, or appropriate for electronic signature.

This disclosure is intended to support U.S. electronic signature practices under laws such as the federal ESIGN Act and state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, but legal requirements vary by transaction, industry, state, and document type. Inkly and document senders should review their electronic signature practices with qualified legal counsel before launch and as their workflows evolve.

If you have questions about the document you were asked to sign, contact the sender directly. If you have questions about the Inkly platform or this disclosure, contact Inkly support.
