  Can you get somebody to sign a contract via email? Or do you have to sign it and post it?

  I would always have a physical signature (scanned okay). it's just adds that much more official'ism'izms.

  you can get some one to sing a contract electronically on a online form that then gets emailed to you

  you have to use fancy legal jargon saying that by submitting the form it is the same as signing a contract we do this all the time

  When push comes to shove in a legal setting, agreeing to a contract via email is considered binding, much like a verbal contract. Of course, dibec is right in that a hard copy is unbeatable.

  • the deposit payment is as binding as a signature.– zarkonite1/2

  Ive always gone to the trouble of mailing the contract and getting ink on paper.

  Id like to hear more experiences with the e-signatures, and if they've held up in court.

  Check this out. I'm based in London and think this company is US based. Have to say its amazingly simple. All you need is your contract saved as a PDF. No matter if its 1 page or 100 pages... You can set up a proper digital signature, people can sign via iPhone or BB... I've used it 3 times, even stupid un-techy clients get it and you get a digital signature back in your email.

  You guys make it sound like you never heard of a fax machine. Even if you don't want to digitally sign, why would you ever go to the trouble of actually mailing the thing?

  • Cause Fax technology sucks. You don't want decimal points deleted or added due to bad technology or dust do you?– Amicus

  years ago they tried to promote a digital signature concept that would work through interactive pdf's among other things. it went nowhere.

  get them to sign and fax or email a scan back.

  • if faxed, print a report of the transmission also and staple the 2 together.– airey

  ^^^^^^
  You are probably right, but I have them snail mail me a copy signed. It takes none of your time and you have the real deal after that. No guesswork.
