Important Legal Notice & eSign Eligibility
Legal Notice: UtiliBox eSign enables basic electronic signing of documents for general business and commercial use. Electronic signatures may receive legal recognition under applicable Indian law, subject to the nature of the document, applicable legal requirements, and the signing method used. Certain documents and transactions are excluded from the Information Technology Act, 2000, and some documents may require additional formalities such as registration, witnessing, notarisation, or stamping. Users are responsible for confirming that their document is eligible for electronic execution.
Privacy: Documents are processed temporarily for signing and are not retained after processing, subject to necessary technical logs and security records.
