In the Brodie-Lisa electronic contract scenario, which statement is true?

• A. The contract is valid for both Brodie and Lisa, and the agreement exists in electronic form.
• B. The contract is invalid for both parties and not in electronic form.
• C. The contract is valid for one party but not the other, and not in electronic form.
• D. The contract is invalid for both parties but is in electronic form.

Answer: (A)

Electronic contracts are enforceable when there is a clear offer, mutual assent, and identifiable terms, even when formed electronically. In this Brodie-Lisa scenario, both parties engage through electronic means, the exchange shows an offer and an accepted agreement, and the essential terms are clear. Because electronic records and signatures can satisfy writing requirements under applicable law, the agreement is formed and exists in electronic form for both parties. This aligns with how electronic contracting is treated, so the contract being valid for both and existing electronically is the best fit.
