Is an e-mail from a company confirming a service legal and binding?
Is an e-mail legal and binding? If a company confirms a service via an e-mail, i.e. confirms prices and terms and conditions and agrees to supply goods/services via an e-mail does this constitute a contract between vendor and buyer, and liability if the contract is broken?
Yes it is provided that the e-mail can be shown to have come from the other party. Documentation is not necessary to create a contract or terms within that contract. It is always advisable to ensure that everything is recorded in writing for the sake of evidence. E-mails are documentary evidence.
