Limits and requirements

  • The signature flow uses a stable PDF as its source document.
  • OTP and notifications require a working email configuration.
  • Legal effect depends on the identification method and applicable legal requirements.

Privacy and data

  • Signer data, links, and OTP are limited to the corresponding signature process.
  • Changing a sent document breaks its correspondence and requires a new request.
  • Statuses, events, and technical evidence are retained for traceability.

Integration and automation

  • Public links and published views distribute the result.
  • Webhooks report relevant changes and retain deliveries, responses, and retries.
  • The API creates, reads, and manages Cloud resources with account credentials.

Plans and usage

  • Originals, projects, versions, and results use account storage.
  • Public views and completed signatures use the configured signature tariffs.
