The important fine print, without pretending it isn’t important.
These disclosures supplement the ATC Verify Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and explain the role of the platform, the notary, and the people using the service.
ATC Verify is a technology platform
ATC Verify provides remote online notarization technology and related workflow services. ATC Verify is not a law firm, title company, lender, financial adviser, tax adviser, court, recording office, or government agency. Use of ATC Verify does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, or advisory relationship with Adams Trading Company LLC.
A notary is not your attorney
Unless independently licensed and engaged to do so outside the notarial act, a notary using ATC Verify does not provide legal advice, choose documents for you, explain legal consequences, or tell you whether a transaction is in your best interest. A notary may identify an apparent issue and may refuse to proceed when required by law or professional judgment.
No guarantee a recipient will accept your document
A valid electronic signature or notarization does not guarantee that a particular recipient will accept an electronic document. Users should confirm any special format, wet-ink, recording, witness, original-document, apostille, lender, title, court, or agency requirements before relying on remote online notarization for a specific transaction.
Electronic signatures and records
ATC Verify supports electronic signatures and electronic records. By using electronic signing features, users consent to conduct the applicable transaction electronically to the extent permitted by law. A participant who cannot or does not wish to transact electronically should stop before signing and arrange an alternative method with the person or business requesting the document.
Notary availability and refusal
No user is guaranteed a particular notary, completion time, or outcome. A notary may refuse an act because of identification concerns, document issues, coercion, incapacity, witness concerns, prohibited acts, conflicts, territorial restrictions, technical quality, or any other reason the notary believes makes the act unlawful or improper.
Identity technology reduces risk; it does not eliminate it
Credential analysis, biometric matching, fraud signals, and other identity controls are designed to reduce impersonation and fraud risk. No identity technology can guarantee that every attempted fraud will be detected. Identity-verification results are one part of the information available to the notary and platform.
Platform security is shared responsibility
ATC Verify is responsible for security measures within the systems and processes it controls. Users remain responsible for the security of their devices, email accounts, passwords, internet connections, local networks, downloaded files, and anyone they permit to access their account or device.
Florida RON law is evolving
Remote online notarization rules, identity-proofing standards, technology requirements, and agency guidance can change. ATC Verify monitors Florida law and Department of State rulemaking and may modify platform procedures as necessary. See our Compliance page for the current public overview.
Terms control
If these disclosures conflict with the ATC Verify Terms of Service, the Terms of Service control unless applicable law requires otherwise. Nothing on this page waives a right or duty that cannot lawfully be waived.
