What the law says

• eIDAS Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 — advanced electronic signatures have the same legal value as handwritten ones.
• Romanian Civil Code art. 1240 — consent may be validly expressed in electronic form.
• Law no. 455/2001 on electronic signatures — national legal framework for validity.
• GDPR art. 6 — processing signatory personal data requires an explicit legal basis.
• Law no. 135/2007 — electronic archiving of documents with legal standing.

Practical examples

• IT services contract sent for simultaneous signing by 3 directors from different companies.
• New employee contract completed and signed remotely before the first working day.
• Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) sent to an external freelancer with a 24-hour deadline.
• SaaS maintenance contract with SLA clauses, signed by both parties in a single automated workflow.

Common mistakes

• Sending a contract without setting a deadline — signatories postpone indefinitely.
• Not defining the signing order when legal approval must precede commercial sign-off.
• Using an incorrect signatory email without prior verification — the entire workflow stalls.
• Not saving the final negotiated version before sending — signatories receive an incomplete draft.
