• We do not warrant or represent the legal validity of any signature created using this tool in any specific jurisdiction or for any specific document type.
• Certain documents (e.g., wills, property deeds, court filings, notarised documents) may require Qualified or Advanced Electronic Signatures, or wet ink signatures.
• You are solely responsible for determining whether an electronic signature is legally sufficient for your specific use case.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SimpleSignPDF and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of profits, or legal disputes arising from your use of or inability to use the service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
