An interesting question has been posed re. the validity of contracts. I'd like to hear from our moderator/attorney Mr. Stenlake what his general take on the answer might be. Isn't signing a faxed contract and faxing back the fax as legal a trasaction as signing an original contract and sending that same original back in the mail? If so the time lapse between returning a fax and an original would not be relevant and there would not be a recission period just because one first returned the contract in fax form. Could we also hear back from Sisla or others about why you feel the questions posed are important? For all our exchange of fax contracts/ licenses, we've not had any problems over this matter. Have any of you? Under what circumstances do you think we ought to be concerned about this matter? (In several cases of e-content licenses, all I have on file are signed fax versions of those licenses; no "original" in the traditional sense of the word, has ever ensued.)
