Non-Competes with Electronic Signatures...are they enforceable in court?

ashpik · July 2013

Hi everyone! I would love some feedback surrounding electronic signatures and legal documents such as the non-compete/non-solicit and arbitration agreements. To be more specific, I am wanting to know if non-competes are enforceable in court if they contain an electronic signature versus an original ink signature? Any information you can share would be extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance!

I would say "it depends." In South Dakota the validity of electronic signatures is addressed in state statute. In general, they are considered legitimate.
