Cosa succede davvero quando un contratto firmato viene contestato — Swiss Trust Layer

Un fiduciario invia un contratto firmato a un cliente. Tre mesi dopo, il cliente contesta le condizioni e rifiuta di pagare. L'esito dipende quasi interamente dal livello della firma elettronica usata.

L'onere della prova: FEA vs FEQ

Una firma elettronica avanzata non comporta presunzione legale automatica. Ai sensi dell'art. 11 ZertES e dell'art. 25(2) eIDAS, una firma elettronica qualificata gode di presunzione legale. L'onere si sposta sul contestatore. Valuta la tua esposizione con il calcolatore IP e la guida ZertES.
