Excellent support and customer service I registered for an annual membership, but I didn't pay attention that the membership fee is calculated in US dollars. I live in ****** and it was expensive for me. I emailed support department to cancel my membership and they responded in less than an hour and sent me a full refund.I appreciate the excellent customer service and proper support, polite and professional behavior of the staff.

For pdfFiller’s FAQs
Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
How do you make an electronic signature legally binding?
There must be a legitimate intent to sign. A traditional ink signature is only valid if the person providing it purposely and deliberately signed the document in question. There must be consent to do business electronically. Lastly, retaining records is a must.
How do I make an electronic signature valid?
Establish that any law with a signature requirement can be satisfied by an electronic signature. Allow electronically executed agreements to be presented as evidence in court. Prevent denial of validity or enforceability of an electronically signed document solely because it is in an electronic form.
Is an e-signature legally binding?
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (DESIGN) Act. For an electronic signature to be legally binding under the DESIGN Act, it is recommended that all electronic signature workflows include: Intent to sign. Similar to ink signatures, a signer must show clear intent to sign an agreement electronically.
Is an image of a signature legally binding?
A photo of your signature applied to a digital document is not legally binding as it doesn't have the required legal information such as an audit trail and signer's identity validation.
Is a scanned signature legally binding?
Having a scanned signature(s) on a document is valid. This has to be the case in a world where we are more likely to work with someone geographically far, than local. To reiterate, having a scanned signature on a contract is perfectly acceptable under law. But acceptance isn't the issue.
What makes a signature legal?
A mark or sign made by an individual on an instrument or document to signify knowledge, approval, acceptance, or obligation. The term signature is generally understood to mean the signing of a written document with one's own hand. Almost all states have passed laws that recognize the validity of “digital signatures.”
