You might not realize that just sending an email to a design company saying "Please design us a web site and we'll pay you $500" creates a contract (assuming the design company responds and says "ok!"). I doubt the design company would have gotten started without any kind of price term being set.
- dfxm12 14y agoI know this is the case if both parties are in the US. However, these are two parties from two different countries, each with different laws and jurisdictions. Do you know enough about contract laws in the US and Germany to assert this as the truth?
- jstalin 14y agoWell, it would be hard for the German company to claim there was no contract when they're trying to collect on it. As for US law, yes, there is enough there for a contract to be formed. Additionally, the CISG may apply if the contract was for goods as opposed to services. Both the US and Germany are signatories. So that poses a good question - is web and graphic design a service or are they selling you the final product as a good?
