Withdraw your consent to sign electronically

Before you fill in or sign anything, the signing page asks you to agree to use electronic records and signatures for this signing request ("Before you start"). You do not have to agree, and you can withdraw that consent at any time, free. The rules are in the e-sign disclosure (version esd-3). On the signing page, How to get a paper copy or withdraw consent opens the part of the disclosure that explains it.

If you have not agreed yet, you can simply leave the page: nothing happens unless you sign.

How to withdraw

• On the signing page, open Other actions, then Withdraw consent, and confirm. You do not need to sign in. This works before and after you agreed, and after you signed (see below).
• Or use the Withdraw consent link in an invitation, reminder or expiry-warning email. It opens the signing page on the same confirmation.
• Or tell the sender directly: reply to the invitation, or write to the address in it. Their name and address are also at the top of the signing page.

An online withdrawal takes effect when you submit it; one sent to the sender, when the sender receives it.

If you prefer to confirm who you are first and have your refusal recorded in the document itself, decline instead.

What happens

• The page shows the confirmation, with the sender's name and address, and you get it by email.
• The sender is told at once.
• If you have not signed yet, the signing request stops, as it would if you declined.
• You will not be asked to sign this document electronically.
• Records you received and signatures made before you withdrew keep their legal effect.
• The sender decides how to continue: for example, by giving you the document on paper, or by not going ahead. This may delay or end the transaction.
• There is no fee.

Your consent covers this signing request only. If the sender sends you another one, you are asked again. If the disclosure changes, the signing page asks you to read the new version and agree again.

After you signed

You can still withdraw your consent after you signed, for what follows: open Other actions, then Withdraw consent, or use Withdraw consent to electronic records on the page that confirms your signature, and confirm. This works on the signing page while your signing session is open, also when you open your invitation link again. After that, tell the sender.

• Your signature stays as it is, and the signing request goes on for the other people on it. The document does not change.
• The sender is told at once. They should give you any later record about it, such as the completed copy, on paper.
• We do not email you anything more about this document. You get the confirmation by email.

Withdrew by mistake?

Contact the sender. They can invite you again, and you will be asked for your consent again.

If you only want a paper copy and are happy to keep signing electronically, you do not need to withdraw: see Get a paper copy.

Questions about the document itself? Contact the sender: their name and email address are in the invitation and at the top of the signing page. Sovrasign cannot change the document or give legal advice.
