Is this template legally binding in Australia?
When signed electronically through AirSign, agreements made with this template are supported by the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth) and equivalent state and territory legislation, with a complete audit trail attached to every signature. The wording is an Australian-aligned starting point - for important matters, have it reviewed by a qualified professional.
Can I customise the template before sending it?
Yes. Every field is a fillable variable - names, dates, amounts and other details are entered when you start, and the rest of the wording can be edited in the AirSign editor to suit your situation before you send.
