Observe the following points when drawing up contracts:

  • Contracts which have been agreed must be adhered to.
  • In principle, contracts can be concluded orally. This applies for example to everyday things like the purchase of office materials or foodstuffs. Other contracts should or must be made in writing. Ask a lawyer about this.
  • Faxes are not recognised as a written form of contract; emails are only recognised if they bear a digital signature in accordance with the Digital Signature Act.
