BAPC Contracts records simple electronic signatures with a tamper-evident evidence file (who signed, when, how they were verified, and the SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact document they signed). It does not provide advanced or qualified electronic signatures, notarisation, or legal advice.

Before signing, every signer is shown a consent to use electronic records and signatures (US ESIGN Act / UETA style) and may instead ask the sender for a paper copy. Their choice is recorded in the evidence file.

Some documents cannot be signed electronically in some countries (for example wills, many family-law and court documents, certain notices and notarised deeds). BAPC Contracts blocks or warns about these types where it can, but the sender stays responsible for choosing a suitable way to sign.

This notice is an engineering draft. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer (open item for the BAPC owner).
