Exploring Qualified Electronic Signatures with GetAccept

In a world where businesses thrive on speed and trust, Qualified Electronic Signatures provide a secure, legally binding way to sign documents digitally. These signatures are the pinnacle of electronic signing, offering unmatched legal weight and security.

GetAccept, a trusted name in digital sales solutions, seamlessly incorporates this technology into its platform, helping businesses sign contracts faster while meeting strict legal standards.

Defining the Gold Standard in E-Signatures

Under the EU’s eIDAS regulation (Regulation nº 910/2014), a qualified electronic signature is an advanced signature created with a qualified device and backed by a verified certificate.

It holds the same legal power as a handwritten signature, making it perfect for critical documents like real estate deals, financial contracts, or employment agreements in specific regions.

GetAccept makes this process smooth by supporting over 25 local identity verification methods, such as Sweden’s BankID, Denmark’s MitID, and Poland’s SimplySign, ensuring signers can use familiar, trusted systems.

Why GetAccept Stands Out

GetAccept isn’t just about signatures—it’s a full Digital Sales Room (DSR) platform that simplifies the entire sales process.

From creating polished proposals to tracking documents and managing contracts, GetAccept helps businesses close deals efficiently while staying compliant with laws like eIDAS, GDPR, ESIGN, and the UK’s Electronic Communications Act 2000.

Core Features of GetAccept’s Signature Solution

• Local Identity Verification

GetAccept connects with local eID systems, letting signers verify their identity using secure, government-approved methods. This builds trust and makes signing straightforward for users across different countries.

• Ironclad Security

Every signature is encrypted and sealed with a unique certificate, ensuring documents can’t be altered. A detailed audit trail, complete with timestamps and signer information, adds an extra layer of legal protection.

• Flexible Signing Options

Businesses can customize signing workflows by adding fields, setting signer roles, or defining signing orders.

GetAccept supports multiple signers on one document and allows hiding certain details for privacy.

• Smart Reminders and Alerts

Keep deals on track with automated email and SMS reminders. GetAccept also sends real-time updates when documents are viewed or signed, so you’re always in the loop.

• Excellent Security Standards

Built on a robust infrastructure with AES-256 encryption, GetAccept undergoes regular security tests and complies with GDPR, SOC2, and eIDAS, keeping your data safe.

Transforming Business with GetAccept

GetAccept eliminates the hassle of paper-based signing, offering a secure, user-friendly alternative. In Sweden, for instance, property contracts require qualified signatures, while Belgium and Poland mandate them for certain employment agreements. GetAccept ensures compliance without sacrificing simplicity.

With GetAccept’s editor, you can place signature fields anywhere in a document and include details like titles or dates. Signers only need to sign once, and their signature auto-fills all required fields. Senders benefit from signatures automatically applied across documents, saving time and ensuring accuracy.

GetAccept partners with trusted providers like GlobalSign to enhance its signature capabilities, ensuring compatibility with Adobe products and full eIDAS compliance.

The Legal Power of Qualified Signatures

For companies working in the EU or with EU clients, qualified signatures offer strong legal protection. In disputes, the burden of proof falls on the challenger, making these signatures a reliable choice. While they require more steps than basic e-signatures, GetAccept simplifies the process, blending security with ease.
