FAQs
Is eSignature legal in my country?
Is eSignature legal in my country?
RNTOR uses BoldSign as its eSignature provider. Electronic signatures are legally recognized in most countries, but the specific requirements, accepted signature types, and validity for particular document types vary by jurisdiction. Before relying on eSignature for a given contract, check BoldSign’s country-by-country legality guide: https://boldsign.com/electronic-signature-legality/. For regulated documents or cross-border agreements, we recommend obtaining independent legal advice to confirm that an electronic signature satisfies the applicable local requirements.
Why didn't I get the eSignature email to sign the contract?
Why didn't I get the eSignature email to sign the contract?
When a contract has more than one signatory, RNTOR signs sequentially through BoldSign in the signatory order defined on the contract. Only the current signer receives the signing email; the next signer is emailed automatically after the previous signer completes signing. If an earlier signatory has not signed yet, the document will not appear in later signers’ inboxes.If the previous signatory has already signed and you still don’t see the email:
- Confirm the contract was issued with Issue with eSignature (not just Issue). Only that action sends the request to BoldSign.
- On the contract page, verify the signatory’s email address is spelled correctly.
- Check that the previous signatory’s status on the contract is Signed — if it is still Pending, the next email has not been triggered yet.
- Look in your spam/junk folder and any inbox rules or filters that could divert the message.
How to prevent signatures from jumping to a new page?
How to prevent signatures from jumping to a new page?
To keep signatures in their designated positions and prevent an additional signature page, include both the signature and signature-date placeholders for every selected signatory:
{customer.signatory.signature}{customer.signatory.signature_date}{location.signatory.signature}{location.signatory.signature_date}For additional signatories, use the numbered placeholders:{customer.signatory2.signature}{customer.signatory2.signature_date}{location.signatory2.signature}{location.signatory2.signature_date}Always include each signature and its corresponding signature-date placeholder together.
