Terms of Use

Clear rules for using NorthSign — from signup to signing and tracking documents.

Last updated: September 4, 2026 · Version 1.0 · United States operation

Plans by volume

Services run on plans with a monthly document limit, with room to grow as needed.

Renewal and cancellation

Paid plans renew as contracted. You can cancel through the platform channels.

Lawful account use

Use the platform lawfully and securely. You are responsible for activity on your account.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the NorthSign platform (“Platform”, “NorthSign”, “we”) to create, send, sign, track and store electronic documents.

By creating an account, checking the acceptance box at signup, or using the Platform, you (“User”) confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

If a specific commercial agreement (for example, an enterprise plan) conflicts with these Terms, the formal agreement prevails.

1. NorthSign services

NorthSign provides technology for electronic signatures and document workflows: file upload, signers and fields, delivery through available channels, real-time tracking, evidence generation and public validation of completed documents.

API and webhook access may be released after a sales review. Authentication and identity checks, when available, depend on the plan, market and active integrations.

NorthSign provides software only. It is not a party to the underlying transaction between sender and signers and does not control document content. The sender must confirm that the chosen signature method fits the document and applicable law.

2. Plans and limits

Accounts may start with free documents under the offer shown on the Platform. Paid plans (Start, Business, Scale and enterprise terms) set monthly document, user and feature limits.

Documents or sends beyond the plan limit may be blocked or billed as overages, as shown at checkout or in billing.

Unused transactions or benefits may expire at the end of the plan cycle, according to the contracted plan.

3. Billing, renewal and non-payment

In Canada and the United States, payment may be processed by Square or other providers shown at checkout. Prices, taxes, renewal and payment method are disclosed before purchase.

Monthly or annual plans may renew automatically when that option is active. Cancel before the next cycle to avoid a new charge, subject to the period already paid.

If payment fails, NorthSign may limit new sends and plan features until the account is current, while keeping access to existing documents whenever reasonably possible.

4. Registration and account security

To use the Services, you must create an account with true, complete and current information (individual or company, as applicable).

Credentials are personal. You are responsible for all activity under your account and must promptly report unauthorized use.

NorthSign may suspend or close accounts for false data, unlawful use, security risk, legal order or breach of these Terms.

5. Documents, signers and evidence

You represent that you are authorized to upload documents and process signer data. You are responsible for content, lawfulness, accuracy, parties and correct recipients.

The Platform may record creation, sending, viewing, authentication, acceptance, signature, date, time, IP, device and file integrity (for example, a hash). These events form the audit trail and do not replace specific legal requirements.

Some acts may require digital certificates, witnesses or other formalities. You must confirm that your chosen flow is suitable.

6. Intellectual property

The NorthSign brand, software, interface, documentation and other Platform elements are protected by intellectual property rights.

You may not copy, resell, modify, reverse engineer, commercially exploit or interfere with the security of the service, except with express permission or as allowed by law.

7. User duties

You agree to:

  • use the Platform only for lawful purposes;
  • not upload unlawful, fraudulent or infringing content;
  • obtain required authorizations to process signer and third-party data;
  • keep copies of important documents;
  • not overload, attack or misuse the infrastructure;
  • comply with applicable law in your market and jurisdiction.

8. Availability and integrations

The Platform may undergo maintenance or third-party outages (hosting, email, messaging, payments, APIs).

NorthSign uses reasonable efforts for availability and does not guarantee uninterrupted operation. Integrations depend on their providers.

9. Privacy and data

Personal information is handled under the Privacy Policy and applicable privacy law (including PIPEDA in Canada and applicable U.S. laws).

For data you place in documents and signature flows, NorthSign may act as a service provider/processor; you remain responsible for legal bases and notices to individuals.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, NorthSign is not liable for document content or substantive validity, acts of Users or signers, third-party failures, or indirect, incidental or consequential damages.

Liabilities that cannot legally be excluded remain preserved.

11. Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated. The current version and update date will be published on the Platform. Continued use after publication may constitute acceptance of the updated version, without prejudice to additional notices when required.

12. Governing law

For the Canadian operation (/ca), these Terms are governed by the laws of Canada and the applicable province. For the United States operation (/us), they are governed by applicable U.S. law, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections.

Questions about these Terms can be sent through the support or sales channels available on the Platform.
