E-Sign Consent
Approvals in MyProposer happen in the browser. This page explains what signing electronically means, what we record, and how to withdraw consent or ask for paper.
Last updated: July 2026
What you are agreeing to
MyProposer lets a proposal be approved and signed in the browser, in one click. To do that lawfully, everyone involved needs to agree that an electronic record and an electronic signature are acceptable in place of paper and ink.
By approving, signing or accepting a document through MyProposer, you consent to do business electronically on the terms set out on this page.
What this consent covers
Your consent applies to the documents and records that pass through MyProposer:
- proposals, and the options and pricing selected inside them;
- quotes and statements of work;
- approvals, acceptances and signatures;
- invoices and payment records;
- the notices and receipts we send about any of the above.
It does not extend to documents sent outside MyProposer, or to any type of record that the law says must be delivered on paper.
Legal effect of an electronic signature
An electronic signature applied through MyProposer is intended to have the same legal effect as a handwritten one. Electronic signatures and records are broadly recognised — for example under the US ESIGN Act and state UETA statutes, and under eIDAS in the European Union and its UK equivalent — provided the parties consented and the record can be retained and reproduced.
Rules differ by country and by document type, and some documents still require a specific form or a notary. MyProposer supplies the tool; it does not give legal advice about whether a particular document is enforceable where you are. If a document matters, have a lawyer look at it.
What we record when you sign
Each signature is stored with an audit trail so it can be evidenced later. That record typically includes:
- the name and email address entered by the signer;
- the date and time of each action, including when the document was opened;
- the IP address and browser the action came from;
- the exact version of the document that was displayed;
- the options, quantities and totals the signer selected;
- a record of the consent given on this page.
The audit trail is kept with the signed document and is available to both the business that sent it and the person who signed. See our Privacy Policy for how long records are held.
What you need to sign electronically
To read and sign documents through MyProposer you need:
- a current version of a mainstream web browser, with cookies and JavaScript enabled;
- an internet connection;
- a working email address that can receive our messages, including from your spam folder;
- a way to view PDFs; and
- the ability to download, save or print a copy for your records.
If these requirements change in a way that could stop you accessing your records, we will tell you and you can withdraw consent without penalty.
Getting a copy of what you signed
You can download a copy of the signed document from the proposal link at any time, and we send a confirmation to the email address used to sign. If you would rather have a paper copy, ask the business that sent you the document; if you cannot reach them, contact us and we will help. We do not charge for a copy.
Withdrawing your consent
You can withdraw consent to sign electronically at any time before you sign. The practical effect is simply that the document cannot be completed through MyProposer — you and the sender will need to agree another way to sign it.
Withdrawing consent does not undo signatures already given, or affect the validity of documents completed before you withdrew. To withdraw, tell the business that sent you the document, or contact us.
Keeping your contact details current
We deliver signed documents and notices to the email address given at signing. If that address changes, tell the sender so their records stay accurate. We are not responsible for a notice that fails to reach an address that is no longer monitored.
Who the agreement is with
MyProposer is the platform, not a party to your agreement. The contract created when you sign is between you and the business that sent you the document. Questions about scope, price, timelines or delivery go to them. Questions about how the signing tool itself works come to us.
Questions
If anything on this page is unclear, contact us before you sign. We would rather answer first.
