Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about collecting legally binding e-signatures and customer deposits with GeniusDocuments.
What is GeniusDocuments?
GeniusDocuments is the only e-sign and contract platform built specifically for contractors and service professionals. It allows you to send proposals and agreements, collect legally binding electronic signatures, and require upfront customer deposits at the exact moment of signing — all in one simple, automated step.
Is an electronic signature legal and binding?
Yes, 100%. Signatures collected through GeniusDocuments comply fully with the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). Every completed agreement includes an audit trail with cryptographic hashing, timestamps, signer IP addresses, and email confirmation.
How does deposit collection at signing work?
When creating or sending a document, you can specify a required deposit amount or percentage. Your client reviews the agreement, electronically signs, and is immediately prompted to pay the deposit via credit card, debit card, or ACH through our secure Stripe integration. Funds go straight to your connected bank account.
Which file types and documents can I upload?
You can upload standard PDF contracts, proposals, estimates, and work orders, as well as Microsoft Word files (.doc, .docx) and image files. PDF format is recommended for instant, precise drag-and-drop signature field placement.
How secure are my documents, customer data, and payments?
Security is our highest priority. All data and documents are protected with bank-grade 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption in transit and at rest. All payment information is processed through Stripe certified PCI Service Provider Level 1 infrastructure — the most stringent level of security certification available.
Does GeniusDocuments include a legal audit trail?
Yes. Every signed document automatically generates a comprehensive Certificate of Completion and tamper-proof audit trail detailing each signer full name, email address, IP address, device information, and exact timestamp down to the second.
