If I have signed, but not dated a contract is it binding?
929082
The answer is No!. The contract can only be binding when it is exchanged. If you are having doubts and no longer prepared to purchase the property. Instruct your solicitors immediately not to exchange. You might however still neet to meet part of your solicitors cost for the work he/she might have done so far.

Possibly if it is in breach of your privacy according to legislation where you live.\n\nYou would have to check the fine print of the contract and check what privacy protection legislation exists in the jurisdiction where you live.

No.  Unless the contract specifically states you have to be 21, or a different age.

If you accepted a contract... on their part right or wrong, it is a legally binding agreement and they must honour it...\n\nthe honest truth is that you probably wont get much out of it getting 'legal' about it all, but from the scenario you've put across your quite correct, they have broke the law through breach of contract.\n\nPersonally, i wouldn't fight too much on this issue... just keep pestering them and they might offer you a comprimise.

If you signed it (or initialed it)that means that you read it and agreed to the terms and it is enforceable. 10 percent is not unheard of either. Furthermore if the late penalty is not paid, within 30 days, if not specified in the contract, or if this is a frequent occurrence (late every other month or so) this could be grounds for termination of the lease or eviction.Talk to your land lord. Be honest, maybe they will be willing to schedule something more comfortable to your budget. Common lease agreements use a late date as the 3rd or 5th.

This will depend on the law of the jurisdiction where these events occurred.  Normally, the statue of frauds would apply and not let you enforce an agreement that was not signed, regardless of whether or not there was an oral agreement to sign the contract or complete the contract.  In some jurisdictions, while you would not be able to force the buyer to sell the house, you might be able to claim damages for breach of the oral contract, assuming you could prove damages.  In this case, I think the damages would be difficult to prove, unless you could show specific costs or expenses you incurred in reliance on the oral promise to complete and deliver the signed contract.

All contracts, to be binding on both parties, must list all the elements of performance.  If any of these elements is missing (eg. "time") the contract can be voided. Try mailing this notarized statement certified, return reciept:\n\n“I herein rescind any and all signatures obtained from me by (name of contractee) on the contract dated (date). Said signature as of this date being void . A reasonable time has elapsed to execute the terms of the contract, and such execution has not been forthcoming  I, (your name) herin void and cancel the contract”.\n(your signature)\n\nWatch how fast they move THEN…

There's not a contract as in a signed one, but in this case there is a contract under the UCC.  This is especially true since both the parties are merchants who have a good deal of knowledge on the subject at hand, however since the merchant selling the books made a counter offer (the change in shipping price) the buyer must accept the counter offer for it to become binding.  ie If they don't wish to pay $6/bk for shipping they must not take the books, otherwise they are consenting to the counter-offer.

I don't know if you can change a contract once it's signed.  A contract is pretty much a legal document that prevents either of the parties changing the terms mid-stream.

it depends on the contract you signed.

Absolutely not! Your only responsibility is to witness that the person signing the contract is really signing the contract.

Hi!\n\nIn general, contracts are 100% binding if the parties signing the contract are legally able to do so (ie: they're not impaired) and if the subject matter of the contract is not illegal.  (This is a VERY watered down overview.)\n\nThis means, however, if you have agreed to non-compete or non-solicitation language in your contract, courts are very reluctant to step into the agreement and try to figure out the intention of the parties.  As a result, language like this, while potentially harmful, is valid language.\n\nOn the non-compete side of things, though, there has also been a general reluctance to stop a person from doing the work that is their livelihood.  In otherwords, if you are a carpenter and you sign non-compete language, you will probably still be able to work as a carpenter even if this means breaking the agreement.  The test usually used is whether not performing whatever it is that you said you wouldn't perform will result in substantial harm to you.  In other words, the courts are willing to invalidate this specific language because you not working would actually potentially result in a burden on society... which outweighs the possible benefit the other party has in you not working.\n\nNon-solicitation language, on the other hand, is more flexible.  Language such as this is usually between two businesses and merely says that you will refrain from hiring employees away from the other party... and that they will refrain from hiring your employees away from you.  A good contracts person, however, will limit this language to say that this does not extend to an individual from Company A actively responding to open job postings from Company B... but will prevent Company B from directly asking that Company A employee to apply.\n\nSo, the quick answer is that non-competes are generally not favorably viewed, as they are damaging to the interests of the public, however, non-solicitation language is usually ok.\n\nGood luck!

No, the papers have to be finalized before you both can sign them.\nThey can't be signed before they get filed... that's putting the cart before the horse.

Most contracts give you 72 hours to change your mind--however--if it was a special order or custom made, you might not have that option.  Write a letter immediately and fax it to the company indicating you wish to cancel and make sure the date is on it.  You need to notify them in writing as soon as possible and then you can backtrack and see if you have that 72 hour window of opportunity--but in the meantime, just get the notice in.  Good luck!

Only if you are going to use it and keep using it as long as you have a contract.\n\nOtherwise, enjoy.

If you didn't sign the final closing documents and were not married to him then there is nothing you can be held responsible for.\n\nEven if you filled out some of the first applications you would have needed to sign at closing. Even if you intentionwas to be with him and pay it off together, your intentions at that time do not hold you accountable legally if you didn't sign your name.
