Binding Actions

Operations on a blockchain are not legally binding by default. As timestamped, cryptographically secure records, they bear the proof of a simple e-signature, which is recognized in most courts, but not sufficient to bear legal force in some critical decisions.

Thanks to the integration with trusted certificate authorities, we are able to turn any operation on the Organigram.ai platform into a legally binding action with the highest degree of proof.

How does it work?

Behind the scenes, when a user creates an account on Organigram.ai, a digital certificate is generated and linked to this account crypto wallet.

So whenever a transaction is signed by this crypto wallet, our certificate authority will issue a file that can be used to prove that the transaction was signed by the owner of the account.

By default, all transactions on the platform benefit from the status of "simple e-signature", which is recognized by most countries in the world to perform most legal actions and contract signatures.

However, some countries require a higher level of security to sign real estate contracts or votes in a shareholders meeting.

In this case, it is possible to upgrade the signature to a certified e-signature by generating a qualifed eIDAS certificate that is recognized by +150 countries around the globe.

Turn any procedure into a legal action

On Organigram.ai, it is possible to turn any procedure into a legally binding action with high level of security.

To do so, you need to:

Create a procedure
Enable "Certified procedure" in the procedure settings
Make sure you have verified your identity and generated an advanced signature (available from the Account Settings)

Binding Actions are part of Organigram's paid Certified services. Simply activate Certified Entity for your organization, then verify your identity to use them. Current prices are listed on the Pricing & Open Source page.

Verifying your identity

To use certified signatures, you must be a member of a Certified Entity organization and have your identity verified through an ID certificate.

You can go to your Account Settings (click in the top right corner of your screen) and click on the "Verify your identity" button.

You will be asked to provide a valid ID and a proof of address. You will also be asked to take a selfie to verify your identity. The entire process should not take more than a few minutes.

Once your identity is verified, you will be able to generate advanced e-signatures for all your procedures.

If you are subscribed to a Certified Entity plan, all users of your organization that have their identity verified will be able to generate advanced e-signatures for the selected procedures in your organization.
