A company can authorise anyone to sign legal documents that are not subject to very specific legal restrictions on signatories (mostly under company and taxation laws). 'Officer of the company' could be anyone so designated by the management. Many CEOs and General Managers wouldn't have enough technical knowledge to know when not to sign. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
