People in former times used to make deals that were way different than the current era. People went by the value of one’s word and had verbal agreements, which were to be honored for a time or until the end of their lives. One of the reasons for businessmen and entrepreneurs of the previous era adopted the word value was the lack of resources. With the evolution of humankind and the professional sphere came technological advancement and more resources. The deals made in these times, even though set on mutual grounds, break. There is a lot of discrepancy in terms of notions, ideas, businesses, concepts and much more. To prevent both parties from hefty losses, we have lawsuits, and the current crisis befallen the nation in the form of a pandemic has only revolutionized the legal processes, documents, and contracts. Contract preparation, negotiation and contract signing have now become a vital part of building relationships completing business transactions and keeping a brand afloat. Contracts are looked at as a guarantee to protect both parties if their expectations aren’t met, further sealing the deal with a price that will be paid for the services. Understanding the importance of e-contracts in business is therefore very significant.
The Pandemic Problem!
With the outbreak of COVID-19, the corporate industry is being largely impacted, leading the sector to change its work-approach and adapt to the situation. Millions of people are under mandatory or voluntary restrictions or quarantine, limiting their in-person interactions with others, to reduce the spread of the pandemic. They are working remotely and thus dependent on technology and virtual meetings heavily. This is further leading to concerns being raised about the validity of electronic signatures. Since the courier services are affected and are not serving in areas that are adversely impacted.
