Neither members nor team administrators are able to change their own email address.

Your email address can only be changed by a “team administrator" other than yourself.

Note that email addresses cannot be changed if you have a Free Plan account.

As CloudSign is a system that mainly uses email addresses to ensure the identity of users, it is extremely important to verify “whether or not a particular user was using a specific email address at the time the contract was concluded.”

Designing the system such that email addresses can be easily changed would adversely affect how identities are verified. This design has been utilized because in the event of a dispute, there is a high risk that it would be difficult for a user who changed their email address, as well as other parties, to substantiate a claim.

The majority of customers subscribed to the Paid plans use the service with multiple users, so the system allows email addresses to be changed considering the high possibility of transfers or changes to members using the account. “Only team administrators can change email addresses” as outlined below, which means the service can be provided while balancing the associated risks and user needs.

Free Plan users

Unfortunately if you have a Free Plan account, you are not permitted to change your email address due to the reasons outlined above.

In this case, please Delete your account, then Register an account using a different, new email address.

Paid plan users

Email addresses can be changed using the operations outlined below.

How to change email addresses

1. In the “メンバー (Members) ” section that team administrators can check on the Manage Settings screen, select the email address to change.
