Step by step
- On the device: sign in the signature field, with a finger, a stylus or the mouse.The strokes, a timestamp, the checksum and the declaration text are recorded
- On paper: print the copy with signature lines and sign by hand at the appointment.The paper original governs
- Upload the scan of the signed original, it is stored with its own checksum.Signature date and name as signed
- The second party confirms the scan in their own account (countersigning).So the evidence does not rest on one person's word
- Check the state in the confirmations overview: who, when, which version, which checksum.Pending confirmations are listed too
The result: Both sides have demonstrably signed the same, unchanged protocol version, on the device or on paper.
Important: Neither road is a qualified electronic signature, and neither replaces a notarial deed. They document the practical handover, not the transfer of ownership.

What if it does not work?
- The other side cannot find the confirm button.
- Only a participant of the handover signed in with a verified account can confirm. Check the handover's participant list.
