Eversign is the electronic signature platform which provides services such as legal binding, taking a signature on NDA documents, storing digital information on a secure server and much more.
I first used this product when I was approached by Packt publishing company to author a book for them. I signed the legal documents using this platform and it was really good experience.
Recently, they released the API which any developer can use to integrate their feature in your application. All the legal binding generated and hosted by Eversign is legally accepted throughout the world and in courts for legal actions.
