Electronic Signature Terms for Signers

Last modified: October 28, 2026

These Electronic Signature Terms (“eSignature Terms”) apply whenever you sign an agreement on Easier Exchange, whether you set the exchange up or were invited to it. By drawing or typing your signature and checking the agreement box, or explicitly approving click-to-accept and clicking “Accept terms of transfer” for a temporary handoff, you accept these eSignature Terms. Please read them carefully: they set out what you can expect from us when you sign electronically, and what we expect from you.

Before your first click acceptance of a temporary handoff, you must explicitly approve its agreement and this electronic acceptance method. Later Accept clicks each apply only to the specific linked handoff terms shown with that action; they do not accept future handoffs automatically. If the acceptance disclosure or agreement template version changes, fresh approval is required. Permanent transfers never use this shortcut: review the permanent transfer agreement and draw or type your signature.

1. Scope and consent to electronic records

By using Easier Exchange, you consent to transact electronically under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). Your consent covers the underlying agreement, any counter-proposals or amendments, and every handoff confirmation receipt generated under it. You may withdraw your consent only by ending or cancelling the exchange in the app; withdrawal of consent is not retroactive and does not affect the validity of agreements or handoff confirmations already executed.

2. Hardware and software requirements

To access, review, sign, and retain agreements and receipts, you must have: (a) a device with an internet connection; (b) a modern web browser that supports standard web forms and cookies; (c) the ability to view, download, and store PDF documents; and (d) an active, authenticated Google or Apple account whose address matches the email designated for the exchange.

3. Paper copies and retention

Easier Exchange provides all documents in electronic form only and does not mail or provide paper copies. You may view and download your signed agreement, every handoff receipt, and a full audit log of actions on the exchange as PDFs directly from your dashboard at any time while the exchange exists. You should download and retain your own permanent copies of all PDFs and receipts.

4. Easier Exchange is not a party to your agreement

An agreement signed on Easier Exchange is a bilateral contract binding only the two people who signed it. Easier Exchange is not a party to your agreement, is not responsible for either party's performance, does not supervise handoffs, and takes no position on its terms. Easier Exchange does not provide legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. By signing, you release Easier Exchange, its operators, and its service providers from any claims arising out of or related to your agreement or exchange.

5. Identity, legal capacity, and authority

Before you sign, confirm who sent you the invitation. By signing, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old, possess legal capacity to enter into binding agreements, are authenticated under your own Google or Apple account, and are authorized to act. Signing on behalf of another person or third-party entity is not supported.

6. Court orders control (children)

A handoff agreement on Easier Exchange regarding a child is a scheduling and logistics agreement between two people. It does not create, transfer or modify custody, parenting time, visitation, or child support, and it does not modify any court order or parenting plan. If anything in your agreement conflicts with a court order or parenting plan, that court order or parenting plan controls. The court of competent jurisdiction retains exclusive authority over custody matters. You confirm that your exchange arrangement is consistent with any applicable court orders.

7. Agreements are not an admission

Agreements and handoff receipts on Easier Exchange record practical logistics and contemporaneous handoff confirmations only. The parties agree that neither the agreement, the schedule, nor any receipt generated under it constitutes an admission of any fact, fault, ownership, or legal position, nor evidence of primary caretaker status, parental fitness, availability, means, waiver, or acquiescence in any custody, divorce, separation, dissolution, or property-division proceeding. The platform takes no position in any dispute and will not characterize records for either side.

8. Permanent transfers are irrevocable

A permanent transfer agreement permanently and irrevocably transfers all right, title, and interest in a pet. The transfer takes effect the moment both parties have signed, whether or not the handoff has happened yet, and cannot be reversed in the app. Only an exchange deliberately set up as a permanent transfer changes ownership; a one-time handoff, with or without a return date, never does. All disputes regarding ownership are strictly between the parties.

9. Signature information and audit trail visibility

When you draw or type a signature, Easier Exchange captures its image and a SHA-256 digest of that image. When you accept a temporary handoff by clicking, no signature image is created: we record your acceptance action, the approval disclosure version, and a SHA-256 digest of the agreement text. Both methods record your account/profile name, authenticated email, sign-in account identifier (Google or Apple), IP address, user-agent string, and UTC timestamp. The acceptance record appears on the executed PDF and in the exchange record. Your counterparty and anyone with whom the document is shared can see this audit data. Phone numbers are released between counterparties only after both parties have signed.

10. Evidentiary effect of handoff receipts

Mutual in-app confirmation of a handoff constitutes the parties' agreed contemporaneous electronic record that a physical handoff occurred and when it occurred. The parties consent to the use of handoff receipts as authentic evidence of whether and when a handoff occurred, and agree that receipts do not determine or evidence either party's underlying legal rights.

11. Document retention policy

Executed agreements, history logs, and handoff receipts are maintained in the platform's secure datastore for as long as your exchange remains on file. Either party may download copies at any time. When an exchange is ended or cancelled, existing completed handoff receipts and executed PDFs remain archived for the parties' records.

12. Governing law

These eSignature Terms, and every agreement signed on Easier Exchange, are governed by the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, regardless of where either party lives or where a handoff takes place. Nothing in this section changes which court has authority over custody, parenting time, or support matters; those remain with the court of competent jurisdiction as described in Section 6.
