Cas d'usage Agencies en United Kingdom

Service agreements and retainers

Agency service agreements and retainers are form-free and signed with AES in minutes. The client signs via a link; the audit trail records the scope and time, decisive in disputes.

Copyright and image rights assignments

Assign copyright (note: must be in writing and signed, CDPA 1988, s. 90(3)) and clear image rights digitally. Certyneo records the scope and extent of the assignment with integrity, protecting against later licensing disputes.

Approvals and sign-offs in bulk

Collect approvals (proofs, sign-offs) digitally, with a defined order and reminders. Each approval is captured with a timestamp — a solid evidence base for complaints.

Avancée (AES)

Liée au signataire via OTP e-mail/SMS et audit trail. Standard recommandé pour la plupart des contrats.

Niveau recommandé pour ce secteur

Qualifiée (QES)

Équivalent juridique de la signature manuscrite, avec certificat qualifié. Pour les actes les plus sensibles.

Agency contracts are form-free — the advanced signature (AES) offers the best balance of evidence and speed. Copyright assignments must be in writing and signed (CDPA 1988, s. 90(3)).

Cadre légal British

Form-free agency contracts

Agency service and consultancy contracts have no statutory form requirement and can be concluded electronically. The advanced signature (AES) of Certyneo provides identity and integrity assurance under UK eIDAS.

Copyright assignment must be in writing (CDPA 1988, s. 90(3))

An assignment of copyright is not effective unless in writing and signed by or on behalf of the assignor (CDPA 1988, s. 90(3)). An electronic signature satisfies this; Certyneo records scope, duration and extent of the assignment with integrity.
