Document background
This Electronic Signature Consent Form is essential for organizations implementing digital signature solutions in Hong Kong. The document is typically used when establishing new business relationships or updating existing ones to include electronic signature capabilities. It ensures compliance with Hong Kong's Electronic Transactions Ordinance (Cap. 553) and addresses key aspects such as consent to electronic signing, acknowledgment of digital delivery methods, and technical requirements. The form is particularly important in the current business environment where remote and digital transactions have become standard practice. It provides legal protection for all parties by clearly documenting consent to use electronic signatures and establishing their equivalence to traditional wet signatures under Hong Kong law.
