Signing an Ontario Purchase Agreement with DocuSign: What the Law Says at Each Step
Can you sign an Ontario Agreement of Purchase and Sale with DocuSign? Follow one document through a deal and see which parts of Ontario’s Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 do the work: the electronic signature (s.11(1)), the writing requirement (s.5), expressing offer and acceptance on screen (s.19(1)), the default rules for when a document is sent and received (s.22), each party’s consent (s.3), and the short list of documents the Act still leaves out (s.31).
