En 2011, la décision prise dans le Naldi c. Grunberg a statué que les courriels sont similaires, sinon identiques, aux contrats encre-sur-papier.
Un collège de 5 juges de l'État de New York a décidé que les transactions immobilières commerciales effectuées par e-mail peuvent constituer la preuve d'une transaction et s'étend au Statut des fraudes de l'État.
Le 8 octobre 2019, le Bujnoch, Life Estate, et coll. V. Copano Energy, LLC, et coll. l'affaire a été portée devant la Cour suprême du Texas. Dans ce cas, un échange de courriels entre deux parties a eu lieu avec des offres convenues. Copano a finalement refusé d'honorer les conditions énoncées et Bujnoch Life Estate les a poursuivis pour rupture de contrat.
La Cour suprême du Texas a estimé que les courriels comprenait tous les éléments essentiels d'un contrat juridiquement contraignant: les termes du contrat entre les parties, l'identité des parties impliquées et une description du bien vendu.
Les e-mails peuvent, en fait, être juridiquement contraignant et satisfaire au statut des fraudes.
Dans le cadre de la législation fédérale Loi sur les signatures électroniques dans le commerce mondial et national (appliqué à toutes les transactions interétatiques et étrangères) et Loi uniforme sur les transactions électroniques (UETA) (utilisé par la Californie et adopté par de nombreux autres États), l'effet juridique d'un contrat et d'une signature ne sera pas refusé au seul motif qu'ils sont sous forme électronique.
Heureusement pour toi, il existe des précautions que vous pouvez prendre pour limiter votre responsabilité et vous protéger.
La première est de faire attention à ce que vous dites dans vos e-mails. Par exemple, si une offre, une acceptation de l'offre, une prise en compte accompagnée de discussions de paiement et un accord d'intention de lier légalement le contrat sont mentionnés, alors vous avez la recette d'un contrat juridiquement contraignant.
Ajouter un clause de non-responsabilité automatisée à tous vos e-mails est fortement recommandé.
Une clause de non-responsabilité est une note ou un avertissement ajouté à un e-mail sortant qui est distinct du message principal.
La clause de non-responsabilité doit clairement indiquer vos intentions avec des phrases telles que :
Vous pouvez utiliser Laissez Signit ajouter automatiquement des clauses de non-responsabilité à chaque e-mail. Essayez-le gratuitement pour sécuriser vos e-mails.
Yes, with the 'Campaigns' offer, it is possible to track the number of clicks on the email signatures of all your employees in the 'Statistics' area of the platform.
You can then access a detailed or global view of the number of clicks on the email signatures of each employee. You can use the search option to target a specific signature or a given period. Finally, you have the possibility to export all statistics to an Excel document.
If you launch campaigns with banners inserted in your email signatures, you can also access their performance via this same space.
With Letsignit, you can easily add social network icons in your collaborators' email signatures and link to your company pages. Also, our "attributes" feature allows you to manage personalized URLs for each of your collaborators such as their individual LinkedIn profile.
And that's not all: you can add links to an appointment-setting application, allow your customers to leave reviews easily, and integrate our 'Chat on Teams' widget to let anyone start a discussion via Microsoft Teams chat.
It’s up to you! As an administrator of the Letsignit platform, you choose whether or not to grant modification rights to your employees. These permissions are managed on an attribute-by-attribute basis, which means that you can decide to allow the employee to change their phone number, but not the address of your premises, for example.
This feature applies to all attributes in your directory, including custom attributes created on Letsignit. When your employees change one or more attributes, your directory is obviously not affected.
It often happens that employees make their email signature their own: custom format, bad fonts, colors inconsistent with the brand standards... all of this has an impact on your brand!
A consistent visual identity is considered authentic and outperforms a perceived weak one by 20%. And, your customers are 2.4 times more likely to buy your products.
With Letsignit, take back control over your brand identity by standardizing all your email signatures. Our tool has many features that allow you to customize your signatures by department, by audience or by subsidiary. Not to mention the possibility of carrying out campaigns within your email signatures thanks to our Campaign offer.
What is the user experience like for our employees?
In both cases:
In short, they have autonomy in their email signature, but you keep control on the field, signatures, and banners they can edit or use.
With our "multi-signature" feature, your employees can benefit from multiple email signatures. No technical manipulation is required. Thanks to our Add-in for Outlook or the desktop app, they can change their email signatures as they wish with just a few clicks.
Regarding the creation of email signatures, you can make several variations such as:
Everything has been thought of to go further in the personalization process based on the recipient of your emails.
If sending emails has an impact, non-optimized email signatures also have an impact. An unsuitable format or an image that is too heavy considerably increases the size of your signatures... and therefore, your emails.
