Frequently asked questions
Plain-English answers about agreeing tradesperson work.
Can either party create the draft?
Yes. The client or tradesperson can create and share the draft. Both parties can propose changes before deciding to sign.
Can extra work be agreed verbally?
The agreement requires variations to be documented before the changed work begins, including the effect on price, scope and timing.
Does the agreement deal with deposits?
Yes. It can record an advance payment and how it is credited, applied or refunded if the agreement ends early, subject to applicable consumer rights.
What happens if work is defective?
The agreement provides an inspection, notification and rectification process, together with warranty and retention terms where selected.
Do we need a printer?
No. Both parties can review and sign online using a phone, tablet or computer.
Are electronic signatures recognised in Ireland?
Yes. In Ireland, sections 13 and 19 of the Electronic Commerce Act 2000 recognise the use of electronic signatures and electronic contracts, subject to the applicable conditions, including consent. At EU level, Article 25(1) of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 (the eIDAS Regulation), as amended, provides that an electronic signature cannot be denied legal effect or admissibility as evidence solely because it is electronic or is not a qualified electronic signature. SigSwift records each party’s consent to use electronic records and signatures and their active signing event. The usual requirements for forming an agreement still apply, and some specialised documents may require additional formalities.
Check insurance, qualifications, permissions and consumer rights, and seek professional advice for complex or high-value work.
