Within the legal framework<\/strong>, the signature <\/a>identifies <\/strong>and commits its author. It expresses <\/strong>consent to the obligations <\/strong>of the deed. But very often<\/strong>, and for a variety of reasons<\/strong>, the person destined to sign <\/a><\/strong>is unable to do so. What can be done <\/strong>in such cases<\/strong>? It’s important to know that there are two possible<\/strong> scenarios<\/strong>: signing <\/a><\/strong>by proxy or signing <\/strong>by order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These two types of signature <\/strong>differ not only in their context<\/strong>, but also in their legal <\/strong>value. Less restrictive, the signature<\/a> <\/strong>by order remains <\/strong>the most practical. But its legal scope <\/strong>is not always reliable<\/strong>. Hence the emergence <\/strong>of a new type <\/strong>of signature<\/a>: the electronic <\/strong>signature.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Signing<\/strong> to order consists<\/strong> in having a document signed by someone <\/strong>other than the person <\/strong>who is required to do so. It is generally <\/strong>done when the person<\/strong> who has the authority <\/strong>to do so is not present <\/strong>or unable <\/strong>to sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important <\/strong>to note, however<\/strong>, that it is not a question<\/strong> of imitating the signature <\/a><\/strong>of the person <\/strong>who must sign<\/a>. It’s simply <\/strong>a matter of affixing<\/strong> your own signature in place of theirs<\/strong>. You must have been instructed and authorized <\/strong>to do <\/strong>so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Signed by P.O., a signature<\/a> <\/strong>by order is a delegation of signature<\/strong>. It binds the person <\/strong>who has given the order or approval<\/strong>. The document signed by PO has the value of a document signed <\/strong>and authenticated by the person who has the authority <\/strong>to do so. The PO signature <\/a>does<\/strong> not bind the person who signed <\/a>for the order<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While signing <\/a>for orders <\/strong>is practical, it can also be legally restrictive. It requires <\/strong>an authentication process and administrative <\/strong>steps upstream<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some official documents<\/strong>, it may <\/strong>have no legal value. And yet, this has a number<\/strong> of consequences <\/strong>for the company’s operations<\/strong>: delays in processes, lost opportunities<\/strong>, and so on. Hence <\/strong>the need to find a better alternative<\/strong>: the electronic <\/strong>signature<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this section<\/strong>, we’ll look at how <\/strong>to sign <\/a>for order with a digital solution like Edusign<\/strong>.
