  • A typed name displayed as a signature.
  • An uploaded image of a handwritten signature.
  • A digital signature using an approved certificate (when available).
  • Any other legally recognised electronic signing method introduced by Yeti Doc.

Regardless of the method used, an electronic signature generally represents the signer's intention to approve or sign the document.

However:

  • Laws differ between countries.
  • Some documents require handwritten signatures.
  • Some documents require witnesses.
  • Some documents require notarisation.
  • Certain government forms may have additional legal requirements.

It is your responsibility to determine whether an electronic signature is appropriate for your transaction.

Yeti Doc automatically records information relating to the signing process.

  • Email delivery.
  • Viewing activity.
  • Signature completion.
  • Timestamps.
  • IP addresses (where available).
  • Device information.

The audit trail is designed to help demonstrate the history of a document.

It does not independently verify identity or guarantee legal enforceability.

12. Withdrawal of Consent

You may stop using Yeti Doc at any time.

If you no longer wish to receive documents electronically, you should notify the sender directly.

  • Access controls.
  • Authentication measures.
  • Audit logging.

While we take security seriously, no online system can guarantee absolute security.

15. Australian Documents That May Require Special Care

Electronic signatures are legally recognised in Australia under the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth) and equivalent state and territory legislation, and Australian companies may execute documents electronically under the Corporations Act 2001.

However, some documents may still require handwritten ("wet ink") signatures, physical witnessing, or other formalities depending on the law of your state or territory. These can include:

  • Wills and testamentary documents.
  • Powers of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship documents.
  • Certain land title transfers, mortgages, and lodging registry forms.
  • Statutory declarations and affidavits (rules vary by jurisdiction).
  • Certain court documents.

It is your responsibility to confirm that your document may be signed electronically. If you are unsure, seek advice from a qualified legal professional before signing.
