Kelly Howie reported on the Form Simplicity and copyright questions which were tabled last month. Per the motion made by the BOD on July 12, 2013, the Executive Committee has worked to clarify the use of electronic signatures. It is the opinion of the Executive Committee that a program which utilizes signature fields by overlaying those signature fields on a BHAR form is acceptable. However, it may be a violation of the Form Simplicity End User License Agreement for a member to provide forms to another service and/or to code or program forms in any way other than as provided by Form Simplicity. BHAR is not contractually required to interpret or enforce the Form Simplicity EULA. However, BHARs contract with Form Simplicity does require BHAR to notify Form Simplicity of any potential violation brought to its attention. Regarding Copyright: BHAR forms are provided for member use only and must contain the appropriate BHAR and Form Simplicity marks. Any use of the forms without these marks will be cause for BHAR to request a legal opinion from the association attorney regarding potential copyright violation.
