Question

On faxed documents, it is often difficult to tell if a signature is authentic, both because clarity is a problem and also because signatures can be cut and pasted onto new documents from old documents. The Uniform Commercial Code provides that anything placed on a document with the intent to authenticate it is a binding signature for a valid contract. The UCC definition:

a. did not anticipate the technology problems arising from the fax.
b. is a common law definition.
c. is part of federal law.
d. will apply even in these fax situations.

Answer 1

The Correct option is A: did not anticipate the technology problems arising from the fax.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Uniform Commercial Code stated that anything that is placed on a document with an intention to make is authentic serves as a binding signature for a valid contract. What they did not envisage is that there might be technological problems arising from fax. They did not think it that checking authenticity in fax may have a problem of clarity.
