VARIATION AND CANCELLATION OF AN AGREEMENT BY EMAIL

 

An agreement may be varied and cancelled via email, statesthe case of Spring Forest Trading v Wilberry (725/13) [2014] ZASCA 178.

Where an agreement provides for a variation or cancellation to be reduced to writing and signed by both parties, an email will meet the requirement of writing, and the typewritten names of the parties at the foot of their emails which are used to identify the parties will constitute signatures.

The case where a signature is requirement by agreement must be distinguished from the situation where a signature is required by law. Where the law does not specify the type of signature to be used, an ‘advanced electronic signature’, i.e. a signature which results from a process accredited by an Accreditation Authority, must be used.

  1. Buying a Facebook account can provide several benefits. It allows businesses to gain instant access to a large user base, increasing brand exposure and
    potential customers. It also saves time, as established accounts already have a network
    of friends and followers. Moreover, buying an account with a strong
    reputation can enhance trust and credibility. However, caution is advised to ensure
    the account is legitimate and adheres to Facebook’s policies.

    I do not know whether it’s just me or if everybody else encountering problems with your
    site. It seems like some of the text on your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody
    else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too?
    This might be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
    Kudos
