DocuSign fornisce firme elettroniche avanzate e semplici. Per immobili, trasferimenti IP, mandati fiduciari e contratti di lavoro in Svizzera, solo una firma elettronica qualificata ai sensi dell'art. 11 FiEle porta presunzione legale. Questo e il divario che DocuSign non puo colmare.

DocuSign vs SealMyIdea: dove una firma visiva non e sufficiente — Swiss Trust Layer

DocuSign elabora piu di un miliardo di transazioni all'anno. Per molti tipi di documenti e del tutto appropriato. Per alcuni tipi di documenti specifici in Svizzera e nell'UE non e sufficiente.

I tre livelli di firma ai sensi della legge svizzera e dell'UE

Sia la FiEle che l'eIDAS definiscono tre livelli: firma elettronica semplice, avanzata e qualificata. DocuSign opera principalmente al livello avanzato, senza presunzione legale automatica.

Tipi di documenti che richiedono la FEQ in Svizzera

Ai sensi dell'art. 11 FiEle, solo la FEQ soddisfa il requisito di equivalenza alla firma autografa per: contratti di lavoro con clausole di non concorrenza (art. 340a CO), cessioni IP, contratti immobiliari (art. 216 CC) e mandati fiduciari.
