Sign contracts online in minutes — valid across Latin America
NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, and commercial contracts signed in minutes from any device. Multi-signer with sequential order, evidentiary support on blockchain, and legal validity recognized in Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, and Peru.
Why sign contracts online
Physical signing was designed in an era when the document existed only on paper and the only way to identify the author was their unique stroke. Today the same identification is achieved with better precision via email, IP, device, timestamp, and video — and the document exists digitally end to end. Signing contracts online isn't just faster: it is legally more solid, because the evidentiary support is traceable and independently verifiable. A PDF signed in Validocus has an SHA-256 hash registered on the Avalanche blockchain; any later modification changes the hash and public verification fails. Forgery becomes impossible.
Reduce time-to-sign from days to minutes
In B2B operations, time-to-sign is one of the leading predictors of close rate. Every day between the verbal agreement and the formal signature increases the risk that the deal cools down, the negotiation reopens, or the counterparty changes their mind. Sales teams that adopt electronic signature cut their time-to-sign from 5–10 days to 1–3 hours, which directly impacts conversion.
Validocus is designed for that case. You upload the PDF, add the signers, send the invitation. Each signer opens it from their phone during a meeting break, an airport wait, or between calls — no need to print, scan, or coordinate physical calendars. 78% of signatures on our platform are completed from mobile.
Cross-border contracts in Latin America
When two companies from different countries sign a contract, the contract can be enforced in any of the jurisdictions per the governing-law clause. Reinforced electronic signatures with blockchain backing are recognized across most Latin American legal frameworks:
Regulatory framework by country
Colombia: Law 527 of 1999, Decree 2364 of 2012. Argentina: Digital Signature Law 25,506. Mexico: NOM-151-SCFI-2016, Commercial Code. Chile: Law 19,799 on electronic documents. Peru: Law 27,269 on Digital Signatures and Certificates. Uruguay: Law 18,600 and Decree 1906/2002.
Functional equivalence
All these frameworks share the principle of functional equivalence: any electronic signature that identifies the signer and preserves document integrity has the same legal force as a handwritten signature.
Multi-signer workflow with sequencing
A typical B2B contract involves 4 to 8 signers: legal counsel on each side, business sponsor, finance, compliance, CEO. Validocus supports a sequential workflow: you define the signing order and each signer only receives the invitation when their turn arrives. If anyone declines or requests changes, the flow pauses and you receive immediate notification. Parallel signing is also available when order doesn't matter — useful for two-party NDAs or quick closes. Full traceability is recorded: who signed, when, from where, and which exact version of the document they approved.
Use cases
NDAs and confidentiality agreements
Close NDAs in minutes before the first discovery meeting. Multi-signer with a couple of clicks, signed PDF downloadable instantly. Ideal for founders talking to potential investors or clients.
B2B commercial contracts
Service, supply, distribution, partnership, and licensing agreements. Simultaneous signing of parties in different cities without coordinating calendars or courier services.
Master Service Agreements (MSA)
The master agreement between two companies is signed once and stays as the baseline. Each subsequent SOW is signed quickly referencing the MSA — a perfect flow for consultancies, agencies, and professional service providers.
Statements of Work (SOW)
Each new project requires a SOW detailing scope, deliverables, timelines, and price. Sign the SOW the same day the client approves the proposal — not 5 days later when the context has already changed.
How does it work?
- 1
Upload the contract PDF and add all signers (email + basic data + signing order if applicable).
- 2
Each signer receives an email with a unique link. They open it on a phone or desktop without installing anything.
- 3
They review the document, draw their signature on screen, and optionally record video evidence accepting the contract.
- 4
Validocus consolidates the signatures, generates the SHA-256 hash of the final PDF, and registers everything on the Avalanche blockchain.
- 5
You receive a notification when everyone has signed. Download the signed PDF and the evidence certificate.
Frequently asked questions
Why sign contracts online instead of on paper?
Three concrete reasons. Time: what used to take 5–10 days between printing, courier, signing, and filing is resolved in 30 minutes. Cost: zero paper, zero courier, zero physical storage — for a company with 100 contracts a month the annual savings are significant. Traceability: every signature is recorded with timestamp, IP, device, and blockchain hash, which is stronger evidence than a paper contract.
What is time-to-sign and why does it matter?
Time-to-sign is the time between verbally agreeing on a deal and the contract being signed by all parties. In long B2B deals, every day lost is another day of risk that the deal falls through (the counterparty changes their mind, a better offer surfaces, the regulatory context shifts). Reducing time-to-sign from 7 days to 1 hour directly improves commercial close rates.
Does it work for cross-border contracts in Latin America?
Yes. Validocus implements a reinforced electronic signature with blockchain backing — a standard recognized across most Latin American jurisdictions: Law 527 (Colombia), Law 25,506 (Argentina), NOM-151 (Mexico), Law 19,799 (Chile), Law 27,269 (Peru), Decree 1906/2002 (Uruguay), Law 18,600 (Uruguay). Parties can be in different countries and the contract remains valid in each applicable jurisdiction.
Does it support multi-signer with sequential order?
Yes. You can define the signing order (the client first, then legal counsel on each side, then the CEOs) and each signer only receives the invitation when their turn arrives. It also supports parallel signing when order doesn't matter. For complex contracts with 5+ signers and intermediate approvals, the sequential workflow avoids errors and leaves a full audit trail.
What types of contracts can I sign?
Any PDF: NDAs, MSAs (master service agreements), SOWs (statements of work), B2B commercial contracts, service agreements, distribution agreements, letters of intent, term sheets, partnership agreements, software licensing agreements, outsourcing contracts, addenda, and amendments. The only legal restriction is that it doesn't apply to documents that by law require a public deed before a notary (real estate deeds, wills).
How does evidentiary support protect me in a dispute?
Every contract signed in Validocus generates a certificate including: SHA-256 hash of the document (prevents post-signature modification), Avalanche blockchain registration (immutable timestamp verifiable by anyone), optional video evidence per signer, signer IP and device, timestamp from a time-stamping server, and email identification. If a party claims they didn't sign or signed a different version, this evidence chain refutes it both technically and legally.
