What should I consider when checking signing authority with DeepValidator?

Requirements

• DeepCloud account
• Signature(s) in the validated PDF:
  • Signature type = Qualified electronic signature
  • Legal framework = ZertES (Switzerland)

Scope of the check
Only the signing authorizations of companies and their authorized persons that are registered in the Swiss Commercial Register at the time of the check are taken into account. Signing authorizations such as powers of attorney that are not listed in the Commercial Register, or companies that are not registered there, are not checked. Older or changed Commercial Register entries cannot be displayed either. This means that if the signature was made at an earlier point in time than the time of the check, different signing authorities may have applied.

Therefore, always check the Commercial Register entry, also taking into account the time of the signature and any restrictions regarding signing authority.

The information also makes no claim to completeness, correctness, suitability, or timeliness. No warranty or liability is assumed by DeepCloud AG regarding its content. Use is at your own risk. If necessary, legal advice should be sought or additional information should be obtained from another source, such as the public commercial registers.

Can the signing authority check be used directly in other software solutions?
Yes. Thanks to a REST API, the verification service can easily be integrated into third-party applications so that signing authority can be verified directly from your software application. Contact us for more information.
