Are contracts valid if ... 2007-08-09 15:55 MarkWatson
MarkWatson writes "I am frequently asked to sign 2 copies of a consulting contract and send them to the other party. More often than you would think, the other party files away both copies, sends me an email saying everything is OK, but never signs and returns a copy to me.
My policy is to bring this to their attention, and if a signed copy is not forthcoming, complain.
One customer has never returned a contract, but have been promptly paying me for 6 months. In another case, a property management agent in another state never bothered to sign and return a copy of another contract with me, but proceeds as if we are under contract.
Are contracts legal if one party does not sign and return a copy to the other party?"
