A simple email can not be considered a legal and binding contract unless the email was constructed to be that and signed by both parties. Most courts will not accept an agreement between two people by a simple email. Nor can an email be described as "certified mail". The reason for this is that emails can be edited by either party.
An email or in fact verbal communication can be legally binding in a court of law. If the email is specific and clear, they could be held legally liable in a court of law.
No.
An email is just as good as a signed document, as long as the other party did not immediately email back contesting the validity of the email.
yes, when you post your e-mail that will act as an acceptance and a contract will be formed. A contract can be formed through any means of communication including e-mail.
A text message does not constitute a legally binding contract. Legally binding contracts explain in detail the responsibilities of both parties involved. They become formalized when both parties apply their signatures to it. An agreement entered into via text message is similar to a verbal contract. It may imply an agreement, but does not formalize one.
A verbal contract is one in which the agreement (i.e., contract) is made by the spoken word, not the written word.Generally no, but this is changing as more businesses use electronic communications to create email contracts that are binding. Because it cannot be proven that the person who transmitted the e-mail and/or received it are, in fact, the principals to the agreement, or not. For contractual situations it is always preferred to execute a document with notarized signatures.
Yes. Is it legally binding? No. But I'm sure the person who is demanding the payment will likely find the appropriate channel necessary to collect payment eventually, so pay up.
No. So-called "e-mail" is not considered to be a legally verifiable delivery system in any court in the US.
