I accept that I misunderstood the concept, but then you don't need the "signature" at all? Just an email saying "yeah, sounds good. We agree to this." Can we just test that in court? I say this only because I can see -- IAMAL -- that there are many ways around this. "Yes, but we subsequently changed the deal when I emailed you and said 'we have to delay it," and then you said 'that's terrible. ok.'" etc

> Just an email saying "yeah, sounds good. We agree to this." That is entirely sufficient to legally demonstrate agreement. An in person conversation is too, but it leaves less evidence. > I say this only because I can see -- IAMAL -- that there are many ways around this. "Yes, but we subsequently changed the deal when I emailed you and said 'we have to delay it," and then you said 'that's terrible. ok.'" etc Yep, the purpose of a signature is to have a method of indicating your agreement on the exact version of the document that is being agreed on.
