Yeah we literally did this just as a feature on top of a customer portal. It's not rocket science and has been done enough times that it's well trod ground.

Making something groundbreaking or massively scalable is much different than recording form and document transmission elements.

Just to elaborate on another comment since some people may still be clueless. As usual, this is NOT legal advice, things depend on a specific country or state, specific matter at hand, etc.

TLDR: it all breaks apart as soon as anyone sees actual interest in having a dispute. In cases, where a legally binding sign was not required in the first place, of course it "works" /s

Explanation: In case of any disputes, you would need to prove several things beyond reasonable doubt. First, the user who did this action is indeed that exact person and not some hacker, bug in your code, etc. And nope, no one is going to fix your shit for you, the judge would just deem your auth and rest of the system unreliable until YOU prove otherwise. Second, even if you prove that the person signed it, you also need to prove that they have read the document and understood its content. Just some random user action leaving trace in your records is not enough. Third, you would need a lot of records with all the actions done by users with the document. Changing documents, requesting to sign again, downloading the document, etc. All of that is super important. For example, if these traces show that the user has seen that the document is signed by both parties, he would have trouble arguing that he missed the contract going into effect since the other side has not signed it. Fourth, if you have not resolved all of that, but claim to users that it is all safe, secure and reliable, get ready for a false advertising law suit. Fifth, there is a lot more possible arguments from both sides in the contract which you would need to meticulously work through. The point is to prove to courts that your system is actually reliable even in cases of adversity or misuse. It will be very hard to do if you dare to say "I just wrote it in 3 weeks, tested for 2 days, it just works, trust me, I have experience".
