Legal
Electronic Signature Consent
Signing in the platform instead of on paper is something you agree to, not something that happens to you. This is the disclosure, and it is also the page that says what the signature record cannot prove.
Draft pending legal review
No lawyer has reviewed this document. It was drafted in-house so counsel has something concrete to mark up, and it is published here for that purpose. It is not legal advice, and 1Stop does not represent that it is enforceable as written. Nothing on this page should be relied on until a licensed attorney has signed off on it.

- Draft, not in force
1Stop asks people to sign service agreements, work authorizations and change orders inside the platform. Federal and state law let a signature be electronic, but the piece that makes an electronic signature hard to argue with later is not the signature. It is the record that the signer was told what they were agreeing to and agreed to it before signing anything. That record is what this page is.
The disclosure below follows the form the federal E-SIGN Act sets out for consumer disclosures at 15 U.S.C. 7001(c). Whether that subsection is legally required here is a different question, and not one we are going to answer for ourselves. It is triggered where another law requires information be given in writing to a consumer, and 15 U.S.C. 7006(1) defines a consumer as an individual getting products or services used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. Almost everyone signing here is acting for a business. We follow the consumer form anyway, because a signer who was given all of it has nothing left to argue about, and because some of our signers are sole proprietors signing in their own name.

1What you are agreeing to
1Stop asks you to sign service agreements, work authorizations, change orders and similar documents inside the platform rather than on paper. It also delivers those documents to you electronically instead of mailing them.
You do not have to agree. If you would rather work on paper, tell us and we will arrange it. If you do agree, your consent covers every document of that kind for as long as you use 1Stop, not only the one in front of you right now.
2Your right to a paper copy
You can ask for any document on paper at any time, before or after you sign it, and you can ask for a paper copy of this disclosure. We will not charge you for it. Ask through the contact page or by replying to whoever sent you the document.
You can also download a PDF of any executed document from the platform yourself, at any time, at no cost.
3Your right to withdraw consent
You can withdraw this consent at any time. Tell us through the contact page and say which organization you are withdrawing for. Withdrawal takes effect once we have processed it, which we will do within a reasonable time.
There is no fee for withdrawing, and no penalty. What it means in practice is that we will need another way to get documents to you and another way for you to sign them, which is slower. If we cannot agree a workable alternative, we may not be able to keep working together, and that is the only real consequence.
Withdrawing does not undo anything you already signed. Documents executed before your withdrawal takes effect stay valid.
4What this consent covers
This consent applies to all of the categories of records 1Stop provides electronically during your relationship with us, not only to a single transaction. That includes service agreements, work authorizations, change orders, service records, invoices and statements, and notices about your account.
It does not cover anything the law says must be given to you on paper. In particular, federal law at 15 U.S.C. 7003(b)(2)(B) carves out notices of default, acceleration, repossession, foreclosure or eviction, and the right to cure, under a rental agreement for an individual's primary residence. Do not route a notice of that kind through the platform's signing flow. If you are a property manager, keep those on whatever process your own counsel has approved.
5Keeping your contact details current
Electronic delivery only works if we can reach you. Update your email address and phone number in your account settings, or ask an administrator at your organization to update them. If a message to you bounces, we may not know that you did not receive a document.
6What you need to read and keep these records
A current version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge, on a computer, tablet or phone, with JavaScript enabled and cookies allowed for the 1Stop domain so you can stay signed in.
An internet connection, an email address or mobile number you can receive messages at, and enough storage to save a PDF if you want your own copy.
A PDF reader for executed documents. Most browsers and phones include one.
If these requirements change in a way that creates a real risk you would no longer be able to read or keep a document you have already consented to receive, we will send you the revised requirements and you may withdraw your consent at that point with no fee and no condition that was not already set out here.
7What the signature record contains
When you sign, we record the name and title you type, the date and time, the IP address the request came from, the browser and device string your browser sends, and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact document text that was on your screen.
The fingerprint is the part that matters later. If the text of a document changes after you signed it, the fingerprint stops matching and the platform shows the signature as being against a different version, rather than quietly carrying it over to new wording.
8What the record does not prove
This is an electronic signature. It is not a digital signature backed by a certificate authority, and there is no certificate.
1Stop does not check identity documents and does not verify that the person typing a name is who they say they are. The record shows what was signed, from which address, and when. It does not prove who a person is.
Nothing here is a statement that any document is enforceable. Whether a particular agreement binds you is a question for a lawyer, and 1Stop has not had one review these documents.

How the disclosure maps to the statute
Published so a reviewer can check it element by element rather than take our word that it is complete. If a row here is wrong, the disclosure is wrong.

How it runs
What happens when you sign
A consent page nobody is shown is decoration. Here is what the product actually does with it.
The disclosure above is not only published here. It is presented in the product, once, before your first signature, and what you agree to is written down. A later signature does not ask you again unless this disclosure changes.
- The consent is recorded. Agreeing writes its own row: who you are, the organization you were acting for, the version of this disclosure you were shown, the time, your IP address and your browser string, and each of the two confirmations separately. That is a different record from the signature itself, which stores the signer's name, the time, the IP address, the browser string and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the document text.
- The step is mounted, and the server enforces it. The signing panel will not take a signature from someone who has no consent on file, and neither will the action behind it. Hiding a button is not a control, so the check runs again on the server before anything is written.
- Withdrawing is a record, not a deletion. If you withdraw consent we mark when you did it. Nothing you already signed is un-signed by that, and the earlier record stays as it was.
- No lawyer has read any of it. Including this page.
The version number matters here. Consent is recorded against the version of this disclosure you were actually shown, so if the disclosure changes materially, the mismatch is visible rather than silently inherited. What remains open is tracked in the legal register that goes with these documents.
