signature on emailed booking forms
signature on emailed booking forms
Hi, am just about to draft out my terms and conditions and a booking form. I am intending to have a tick box on the booking form to confirm that the t's and c's have been read and accepted. I would like guests to be able to email the forms back rather than post... what do you do about a signature? I have queried how to do this when I have had to fill in a form and sign to email back and been told its ok to just type my name as the signature.. is this acceptable/ binding? I guess the other option is for guests to sign, scan and email back but not everybody has a scanner. As usual, your experience and opinions would be gratefully received- thanks!

When you sign up to Facebook, when you buy software from Microsoft, when you buy a new dress or a new sewing machine at Amazon, when you order your grocery deliveries online, when you send a bank transfer when subscribe to pornography, when you complete your tax return online you are "signing" that you agree to whatever they ask for by simply ticking a box.
All of these entities, companies and services have employed mega expensive lawyers to ensure that a tick box on an electronic form is legally binding.
Why should a holiday rental be different?

Re: signature on emailed booking forms
I've recently started using Wufoo forms Clare and they're working very successfully. Previously guests had to print it off, fill in, then scan and email or post back to me. Now they fill it in online and just press submit, I've also included a link to my T&Cs on it too. You can see mine here if you like. And Wufoo is free for up to 3 forms.ClareW wrote:Hi, am just about to draft out my terms and conditions and a booking form.
