    Default Can An Transaction Through Email Be Considered A Valid Contact

    My question involves business law in the state of: Florida

    If two individuals one as a DBA agree on a price for a certain quantity of products through email and a wire transfer is made, but products or refund are never received by purchaser, can the email corresponding to the transaction hold up as a valid contract in civil court? What if a invoice is issued to the purchaser?

    Thanks!

    Not sure what you are getting at by bringing up the invoice that the purchaser received.

    Is this true even in the event of lack of notarized signature confirming ones/sellers identity?

    Do the statue of frauds come into play in this situation?

    Thanks again for your time and input!

    Contracts do not need to be notarized.

    What is it you are getting at?

    Did you receive the money?

    Are you trying to say you are not the person that made the agreement, so you shouldn't be the one that is getting sued?
