The FTC issued a Staff Advisory Opinion letter to VaultraNet acknowledging that VaultraNet's PrivaSign electronic file delivery and electronic signature capture service complies with the Franchise Rule guidelines.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 6, 2005 -- VaultraNet today announced a Staff Advisory Opinion letter received from the Federal Trade Commission stating that VaultraNets electronic signature capturing service, PrivaSign", complies with current industry regulations.
PrivaSign is used by a wide variety of businesses, and the PrivaSign service may be used on virtually any file to capture a secure, legal and binding signature. However, the Company is currently focusing its efforts and product development on growing its franchise industry presence. PrivaSign is widely used in the franchise industry to electronically distribute information to prospective and existing franchisees. Many franchisors use PrivaSign to distribute their Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC), as well as marketing materials and other information to potential franchisees saving them valuable time and money.
The Federal Trade Commission said in its letter to VaultraNet, Based upon our review, we are satisfied that VaultraNet has made a good faith effort to comply with the proposed Internet instructions specified [in the Federal Register]." The FTC has dedicated a great deal of time and energy into regulating electronic signature capture and electronic delivery of legally binding documents, in particular how those technologies affect the franchise industry.
VaultraNet President, Jason McKay said of the letter, VaultraNet has always strived to provide our customers with the most efficient technology available while at all times complying with industry regulations. We have always been compliant with the E-SIGN Act (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act) and we are honored that the FTC has taken time to acknowledge our efforts. Electronic file delivery and electronic signature capturing is the wave of the future and businesses who adopt this technology now will be more organized and efficient. Additionally they will shelter their business against rising fuel, printing and handling costs."The E-SIGN Act was written to help the business community and the consumer become more efficient by utilizing electronic technologies, but electronic file delivery and electronic signature capturing offer more than just time and money savings, they enable the consumer and businesses that use the technology to be more organized. The technology is better for the environment, and it makes corporate compliance significantly easier by streamlining and tracking chains of communication.
Electronic signatures are just one aspect of the document lifecycle that VaultraNets PrivaSign service helps to manage. Other services available through PrivaSign are electronic storage and archiving of files, multi-file and multi-signatory capturing, viewer licensing for audit and tracking signature files, secure e-mail and an integrated calendar system that tracks all relevant dates or action events associated with a file. PrivaSign is setting a new industry standard for electronic file delivery and electronic signature capturing, and it is available in an ASP Edition as well as an Enterprise Edition for large customers.
