What is proposal e-signature?
Definition
Proposal e-signature lets a client accept a sales proposal online, without printing it or sending back a scan: they consent to the text, their email address is verified and the accepted version is recorded with its evidence. In Cuevr, it is included in the subscription and happens inside the proposal itself, quote included, right where the prospect read it.
From reading to agreement, on the same page.
The acceptance button is inside the proposal. Your prospect signs where they read, and you keep the evidence.
Accept this proposal, inside the proposal
Nothing to print, nothing to scan: the acceptance button sits inside the proposal your prospect is reading, and the simple electronic signature is included in Cuevr.
If you have proposals signed elsewhere, the proposal lets the prospect write to the salesperson, call you or open your signing link.

The decision in detailA verified email, explicit consent
Knowing where an agreement comes from is what lets you defend it. Invited by email, your prospect accepts the consent text, then confirms their address with a six-digit code, unless their invitation has already proven it.
A typed or drawn signature stays optional: consent and the verified address make the agreement.

Invitations in detailAccept the proposalA locked version, an evidence file
Once signed, the version is no longer up for debate. Cuevr locks the signed version and creates the evidence file: consent, verified address, version fingerprint, server date.
Your prospect receives their receipt and a personal link to their signed version; as long as the acceptance remains active, it can no longer be republished.

A simple signature, legally binding
“Does it hold up legally?” A simple electronic signature, legally binding: in the European Union, it cannot be rejected as evidence solely because it is electronic (eIDAS Regulation, Article 25).
If your client’s contract or buying process requires a higher level, you keep your own signing process.
Simple electronic signature · eIDAS, Article 25 · ESIGN Act
A clear decline, a separate outcome
A reasoned no beats silence. If your prospect declines, you get the refusal, its date, their optional reason and the version concerned.
Signature and deal outcome are two separate pieces of information: a refusal doesn’t close the deal, and a signed proposal may still ask you to record the outcome: Won, Declined or Dropped.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a proposal or quote signed online?
The quote is part of the proposal: you publish it with Cuevr, invite your prospect by email, and they accept it where they read it. They give their contact details and their consent, and confirm their email with a six-digit code, unless their invitation has just proven their address. The accepted version is locked with its evidence file, with no export and no separate signing tool.
Is Cuevr’s e-signature legally binding?
Yes. It is a simple electronic signature that is legally binding: in the EU it cannot be denied legal effect or admissibility as evidence solely because it is electronic (eIDAS Regulation, Article 25), and it is recognized in the US under the ESIGN Act. It is the simplest level of electronic signature, which does not guarantee that the evidence will be enough in every dispute. If the signature is contested, the evidence file supports it: consent and accepted text, verified address, accepted version and its fingerprint, server date.
Does the email code prove the signer’s identity?
No. The six-digit code proves that the signer has access to the email inbox provided. It verifies neither their legal identity nor their authority to sign for the company. The evidence file keeps what they declared, name, role and company, along with the verified address.
Can I keep my own signing tool?
Yes. If you have proposals signed elsewhere, the proposal can offer to write to the salesperson, call you, open an external link to your signing process, or show no button at all. That is also the route to take if a contract requires a higher signature level than a simple electronic signature.
What happens if the prospect declines the proposal?
You see it, with the reason if they give one, the date and the version concerned. A refusal doesn’t close the deal and doesn’t, on its own, rule out an acceptance later: you decide what happens next, a new discussion, a new proposal or closing as Declined.
Can a proposal be changed after it is signed?
Not as long as the acceptance remains active: the signed version is locked and cannot be republished. To reopen the proposal, you revoke the acceptance after two confirmations; the evidence file stays in the history. This technical revocation does not terminate the contract concluded with your client.
Does the PDF of the signed proposal carry a signature?
No, the printed PDF is not electronically signed. The proof lives in Cuevr: the evidence file ties the signature to the accepted version and its fingerprint, and your prospect receives a personal link to the signed file.
How is this different from a standalone e-signature tool?
With Cuevr, the signature is part of the proposal: your prospect signs where they read it, with no export and no sending into another tool, and what they sign is the version they read, locked with its evidence file. You see it in the deal: the opening of the signature form, acceptance or refusal show up next to the reading tracking.
Your next deal, signed inside the proposal.
Your prospect reads, accepts and signs in one place; you keep the signed version and its evidence.
From published proposal to signed agreement.
