GOOD TO KNOW
Unlike other e-signature companies that simply capture a click or digital mark, i agree ensures true informed consent by requiring users to actively demonstrate their understanding of an agreement.
Our process includes facial recognition and an audio recitation of key terms, proving that the signer has engaged with the contract beyond just pressing a button. This prevents disputes caused by unread or misunderstood terms—something traditional e-signatures can’t guarantee.
By prioritising clarity and verification, i agree offers a level of security and transparency that others simply don’t.
Regulatory bodies such as the SRA, FCA and the GMC are all pushing for agreements to change.
You now NEED to prove that you've done everything you can to ensure that your agreements a transparent and out to inform your clients, not confuse them to agree to something they don't comprehend.
Standard agreements only prove you accepted terms, not that you understood them. i agree records your confirmation through facial recognition and audio recitation, giving you undeniable proof of informed consent.
Your customers download the i agree app on their Android or Apple phone and use its front facing camera to record their proof of informed consent. The agreement is also recited to them audibly and they can read the agreement as a whole. You then can prove that they Heard it, Read it, & Said it.
We offer you and your customers the opportunity to review each and every stage of the agreement through our extensive Audit Trail of the agreement process, which is tracked at every stage including IP addresses, devices and is time stamped throughout.
