Title: The Validity of Electronic Signatures in Contracts: A Case study
Introduction:
In this case study, we examine the scenario of Hind, a student with exceptional qualifications who applied to a company for a job. After a successful interview, the recruitment company, AL Rajhi, sent Hind the employment contract via email on a Sunday November 12. The offer stated that it would expire at the end of Thursday November 16. Hind reviewed the contract on Thursday November 16, electronically signed it, and emailed it back to the company. Interestingly, the next day, Hind received another offer from a competitor with a higher salary. This case raises questions about the binding nature of the contract, the significance of electronic signatures, whether they can replace a paper signature, and the benefits of using electronic signatures in the business context.
