It does not require any overly priced SaaS software and works very well for many different kinds of legal documents.

For instance, you can use it to create a code of conduct form, employment forms, non-profit or volunteer application forms, and more.

例如，您可以使用它来创建行为准则表格，就业表格，非营利性或志愿者申请表格等。

Are Digital Signatures Legal?

数字签名合法吗？

Yes, digital signatures and digitally signed documents are legally enforceable. If both parties agree to digital signatures, and the software used keeps a record of digital signatures, then they are legally binding.

是的，数字签名和数字签名的文件具有法律效力。 如果双方都同意数字签名，并且所使用的软件保留了数字签名的记录，那么它们具有法律约束力。

However, they cannot be used for all kinds of legal documents. For example, legal documents or forms that require to be notarized, need court stamps, or witnesses.

但是，它们不能用于所有法律文件。 例如，需要公证，需要法院盖章或证人的法律文件或表格。

With that said, this article is not legal advice, please consider a lawyer for practical legal advice and guidance.

话虽如此，本文不是法律建议，请考虑请律师寻求实用的法律建议和指导。

准备您的合同协议表 (Preparing Your Contract Agreement Form)

If you don’t already have a contract drawn up, it’s a very good idea to consult a lawyer. You want to be sure that your contract is legal and that it won’t cause you any possible problems in the future.

如果您还没有起草合同，那么咨询律师是个好主意。 您想确保您的合同是合法的，并且将来不会给您带来任何可能的问题。

Apart from the contract terms themselves, your contract form will probably need space for:

除了合同条款本身之外，您的合同表格可能还需要以下空间：

• The name of the person signing.
  签名人的姓名。
• The address of the person signing.
  签名人的地址。
• The date the contract is signed.
  合同签订的日期。
• Space for your client (or new employee) to actually sign the contract.
  客户(或新员工)实际签订合同的空间。

That being said, let’s create a contract agreement form with a digital signature field.

话虽如此，让我们创建一个带有数字签名字段的合同协议表。
