Hi Christopher,

Thank you for your quick respond. Maybe the question was wrong. The question was not about the legal validity. I want to understand if the Docusign seal of Party A gets broken/void if Party B is using the already signed document from Party A to have such document signed via Docusign, too.

Hope this clarifies my question.

Best regards,

Hello @Pintel,

Thank you for reaching back, to clarify, when Party A signs the document are they the only recipient in the Docusign signing flow?

Hi Christopher,

Yes, that is the question. Party A takes care only for its own signatures and do not consider (/cares) that Party B also needs to sign. Thus, after Party A completed the signature workflow it sends the document via regular email to Party B asking Party B to sign.

Yes, they can use their own signature process, however the certificate of completion of Docusign will only include the initial signature.
