Counterparts: Difference between revisions

Here we are talking about [[acceptance]]. Acceptance does not require the [[aforementioned]] quill, and indeed does not require signature (digital [[or otherwise]]) at all. Acceptance may be evidenced orally, by gesture, or even just by behaving in a way that is only explicable by reference the terms of the putative contract being argued about.

Signature is about evidence of that acceptance, and the fact that parties have signed and exchanged different copies of the same document is just as compelling evidence of their agreement to it than that they signed the same one.
