Cancelling an agreement before anything has been signed
<p>In UK Law:</p>
<p>Is a contract still valid if it has been sent to you and has not been signed?</p>
<p>Can the cancellation of this contract void any terms which have been specified in the contract?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>

<p>In English law, one of the requirements of forming a contract is the acceptance of an offer.</p>
<p>Since the contract was never signed (and assuming there was no acceptance of the contract communicated in some other way), we can say that this contract was never formed.</p>
<p>Therefore there is no legally binding agreement in place.</p>
<p>NB: I understand that the question may have originally contained further details, my answer only applies to the question as it stands.</p>
