E-Signature CCA - Evidence or Not?
Hi,
I recently requested a copy of my signed CCA agreement and received a response by email with a scanned document as an attachment. In the signature box for the customer is a handwritten note (not by me) which simply reads "ESIGNATURE". My question is, will this document alone be sufficient evidence or will they need to provide the emails if I decide to defend the claim? Furthermore, if they are required to provide proof of the the e-signature how will they be able to prove the authenticity of the email and in what format will they be accepted as evidence by the judge? Surely a print out will not carry sufficient weight as evidence?
Any advice will be on this would be much appreciated.
Regards
Steve
