We've just rolled out a new feature that lets you pick between two types of signatures for your inspection agreements: written signatures or checkbox signatures. This is built to ensure you are able to adapt to the legal requirements in your area and make your life a whole lot easier.
Choosing Your Signature Style
To find this option, head over to Settings > Business Tools > Inspection Agreements, and voila! You'll find the option to choose your preferred signature style.
Understanding the Difference:
Good news: written signatures and checkbox signatures are legit and legally binding in most places!
Both formats capture the data, time, and IP address when the agreement is saved.
These are important factors to ensure agreements hold up in court.
Certain cities, areas, or provinces may have their own laws about this.
One notable example is the Alberta province in Canada. They have laws that require written signatures.
TLDR: We advise looking into your local laws when making your decision and/or consulting legal advice to be sure your agreement meets the requirements.

If I Make a Change, When Does it Apply?
Switching over to a different signature type will apply immediately!
Any unsigned agreements will display your new signature format.
All future agreements will also be updated.
Any signed agreements will remain untouched,
Reminder: If you have any emails or texts set up with images or a guide on signing agreements, we recommend updating them before making the switch.
