Sign Waivers Online — Fast, Private, Legally Valid

Waivers are everywhere. Before you join a gym, sign up for a skydiving session, attend a sporting event, or let your child go on a field trip, someone hands you a waiver and asks for your signature. Traditionally, that means printing the PDF, signing it by hand, scanning it back in, and emailing the result. It is a tedious process that wastes time, paper, and patience. SigPDF removes every one of those steps. You open the waiver PDF in your browser, place your signature directly on the document, and download the signed copy. The entire workflow takes under sixty seconds, and you never need a printer or scanner.

What makes SigPDF fundamentally different from other e-signature tools is where the signing happens. Most platforms upload your document to their servers, process it remotely, and store a copy in their cloud. With SigPDF, all processing occurs locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your waiver PDF never leaves your device. For waivers that include personal details like your name, address, date of birth, emergency contacts, or medical conditions, this browser-based approach provides a level of privacy that cloud-based tools simply cannot match.

Are Electronically Signed Waivers Legally Binding?

Yes. Electronic signatures on waivers carry the same legal weight as handwritten ink signatures in virtually every major jurisdiction. The two primary legal frameworks are:

• United States — ESIGN Act (2000): The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act establishes that electronic signatures are legally valid for most transactions, including waivers of liability. Courts have consistently upheld electronically signed waivers in personal injury and negligence cases.
• European Union — eIDAS Regulation (2014): Under eIDAS, a simple electronic signature — such as one drawn or typed with SigPDF — cannot be denied legal effect solely because it is in electronic form (Article 25.1). This applies across all EU and EEA member states, making electronically signed waivers enforceable from Dublin to Bucharest.

Additional legislation in the UK (Electronic Communications Act 2000), Canada (PIPEDA and provincial electronic transaction statutes), and Australia (Electronic Transactions Act 1999) offers similar protections. The bottom line: a waiver signed electronically with SigPDF is enforceable in court just like a paper-and-ink waiver.

The Old Way vs. SigPDF

Consider the traditional waiver signing process: the organizer emails you a PDF, you download it, print it on your home printer, sign it by hand, scan the signed copy (assuming you own a scanner), save the scan, attach it to an email, and send it back. If you lack a printer or scanner, you drive to a copy shop. The whole ordeal can take thirty minutes to an hour and costs money for printing and scanning.

With SigPDF, you click the PDF attachment in your email, open it in the editor above, draw or type your signature, place it on the signature line, and download the finished document. It takes under a minute, costs nothing extra beyond your flat EUR 2.99/month subscription, and you can do it from your phone, tablet, or laptop — anywhere you have a browser.
