The signNow Business plan costs $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes templates, audit trails, and mobile apps. Business Premium costs $15 per user per month annually and adds bulk send, which is useful for repeated business forms.

Use signNow’s audit trail to document signer identity, timestamps, actions, and completion history. ESIGN and UETA recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are satisfied; review consumer disclosures under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c) when applicable.

A typed, drawn, or click-to-sign mark can represent an electronic signature when attached to the form and executed with intent. Use SMS authentication or stronger identity checks when the agreement’s risk profile requires more evidence than an email link alone.

For health information included in this business form, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a business associate agreement. Keep access restricted, use the audit trail, and retain records for six years from creation or the last effective date under 45 CFR §164.530(j).

Subscription plans include 100 signature invites per user per year, with overage fees; the Site License is usage-based at $1.50 per signature invite. Check the selected plan before sending large batches of this form.
