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.
Please answer the questions: (15points)
1. Is the employment contract between AL Rajhi company and Hind considered
legally binding? Why and why not?
2. Can an electronic signature effectively replace a traditional paper signature?
3. What are the advantages and benefits of utilizing electronic signatures in business
transactions?
