The beautiful country boasts legal business structures that facilitate the smooth incorporation of companies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding on to this, New Zealand introduced its Electronic Transactions Act in 2002 to help make international business activities even more convenient especially on the go. It adopts an open legal model.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Zealand welcomes foreign investors, implementing many business incentives that entices people to start a business in the land of the long white cloud. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an example of how simple and convenient New Zealand\u2019s procedures have become, have a look at their electronic signature regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to learn more about the legal compliance for electronic signatures in New Zealand specifically and watch out for more in this series on Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, China, New Zealand, Australia, UK, Cayman Islands, and BVI.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rules and laws for e-sign in New Zealand<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<p><b>(22) Legal requirement for signature:<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1) Subject to subsection (2), a legal requirement for a signature other than a witness\u2019 signature is met by means of an electronic signature if the electronic signature\u2014<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<p><b>adequately identifies the signatory<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and adequately <\/span><b>indicates the signatory\u2019s approval of the information<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to which the signature relates; and<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is <\/span><b>as reliable as is appropriate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> given the purpose for which, and the circumstances in which, the signature is required.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(2) A legal requirement for a signature that relates to information legally required to be given to a person is met by means of an electronic signature <\/span><b>only if that person consents to receiving the electronic signature<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicability of an Electronic Signature\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<p><b>(24) Presumption about reliability of electronic signatures:<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1) For the purposes of sections 22 and 23, it is presumed that an electronic signature is as reliable as is appropriate if\u2014<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the <\/span><b>means of creating the electronic signature is linked to the signatory<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and to no other person; and<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the means of creating the electronic signature was <\/span><b>under the control of the signatory<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and of no other person; and<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>any alteration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the electronic signature made after the time of signing <\/span><b>is detectable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; and<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where the purpose of the legal requirement for a signature is to provide assurance as to the integrity of the information to which it relates, any alteration made to that information after the time of signing is detectable.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(2) Subsection (1) does not prevent any person from proving on other grounds or by other means that an electronic signature\u2014<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is as reliable as is appropriate; or<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is not as reliable as is appropriate.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align:
